propagation

Up for auction is a basket of one each of the Australian 'Sisters': - D. adelae - a mature plant divided from a clump that has been together for a few years - D. prolifera - a mature plant growing semi-wild in the live LFS in the lower regions of one of my tanks - D. schizandra - a small plant...

just a copy and paste from another forum for future ref... Hello, This Heliamphora disease is caused by a phytopathogenic fungus (which I was able to identify during my molecular studies of Heliamphora by chance), which infects the vascular tissue of the centre of the plant, and can kill a...

Dionaea 'Alien', D. 'Coquillage', D. 'Mirror', D. 'Microdent', FTS Freak & FTS Yellow A few shots of some rare clones and some FTS clones that I hope to get in tissue culture this year. First we have Dionaea 'Coquillage' (two baby plants): Dionaea 'Mirror': Closeup on the little side...

I am getting a Pinguicula moranensis and I am wondering about the growing conditions. I have 3 questions. 1Can it take hot temperatures up to 100 f 2can it grow in sphagnum moss without other materials 3can I use summer carnivorous leaves for propagation? 4what is the best way of growing it...

My success and appreciation of leaf-pulling as a propagation method for Mexican and other tropical Pinguicula species and their hybrids has gradually improved as I spend more time and gain more experience working with the technique and modifying my methods to discover nuances to its...

Hello, My name is Ed I'm 32 and I live in Roseville, Ca. About 8 years ago I started collection CP's mainly Sarracenia (98%) but some Nepenthes (2%). At the time I was doing a lot of volunteer work for the U.C. Davis Botanical Conservatory and through freebies, plant sales & a aggressive...

Hello everyone, I wanted to share my D. graomogolensis, it's potted in pure LFS in a tall pot and really seems to do its own thing. The pot constantly goes completely dry (to the point of the lfs being hard) before again being tray watered (shares a tray with some neps and my Cephs). Outside...

Hello! I would like to share some info and pics of my new TC jars. I have had issues with food store grade agar last fall and because several batches shifted the pH of the media several points up, I have lost some cultures. That was the last straw for me and I decided to upgrade my TC work to...

Hello Friends!, I have just redone my propagation chamber. The top is for seeds and sensitive CPs, the bottom is dedicated to growing sarracenia 24/7, as Bugweed does. They're not really big, and don't use much energy. The top one has a 13 watt bulb, and grows things well (I've used that one...

Does anybody have some spare mylar sheeting? I'm thinking of reviving my propagation chamber.

Sooo, this thread is essentially going to be where I dump the pictures I take with regards to the hobby. It'll also likely be somewhere I ask questions and give updates and such. Let's get this party started! A shot of the whole carnivore room. The first day of the indoor minibog. A recent...

Here are some other non-carnivorous seeds for SASE if anyone is interested. It will be for approx. a dozen seeds from an Echinacea (purple coneflower) cultivar called 'Tiki Torch', which has orange blooms. Not sure how familiar you are with all of these new coneflower cultivars, but there are...

The September 2010 issue of Carnivorous Plant Newsletter (v39 n3) is now available. Hard copy was mailed to ICPS members on September 1. ICPS members can download PDF's for this and all past issues of CPN at: http://www.carnivorousplants.org/cpn Carnivorous Plant Newsletter 39(3). September...

I had gotten a death cube this summer with "Typ" VFT's inside. When I grew them out, there was one that turned out to be "dentate"! I didn't know that could occur from a mass of TC VFT's like this, as it was in the middle of a group of a half dozen teeny-tiny plants, overall no bigger than...

Heyyy, finally I have some time and took pictures of jars. I apologize for bad quality for it is hard to take good pics through the glass and condensation. I hope you like them:-) Most of them come from seeds from Australia and will be soon replated on propagation media. drosera ordensis 'Lake...

This has been my first attempt at this , but one out of nine, is OK with me. I'm still learning , I had asked a few questions here, and started before I had gotten more than a few answer's, I know I should have been a little more patient:-(, once I had had them settled in for a week or two, I...

Hey, I would like to know how to self-pollinate my D. Burmannii's flower. Can you please put it in dumber terms if possible? I've watched countless videos on how to propagate CP flowers, but I just can't get it ??? . I don't know what a stigma is or if there even is pollen on the flower. I...

My very first plant (N. ventrata) FINALLY decided to make it's first pitcher for me. HOORAY! Ceph is pumping out pitcher's like crazy right now. And the D. capallaris 'Long Arms' are starting to flower. Can't believe I just planted them from seed a month and a half ago.. Made a new setup...

I took cuttings of intermediaXcapillaris, some fork-leafed sundew, and paradoxa (pullings) leaves a good 2-3 weeks ago. I put them in water, and here's what's sprouted out for me! fork-leafed: intermediaXcapillaris: paradoxa:

Something that I had long suspected -- that supposedly identical TC plants appear and behave differently, even though grown in the same place and under identical conditions -- had really been considered "old news" by the micro-propagating (TC) community and actually had been for several years --...
