propagation

Recently i visited a fellow carnivorous plants grower, Bob Ziemer and learned an interesting way of Dionea propagation. He had cut off the flower stalks of the plants and inserted them into sphagnum moss. In many of the pots, small plantlets were visible. I am unsure if this technique only works...

I'm just doing this for fun so... no comments on how late in the season, lighting, etc. -shrug- I was just bored so I figured I'd try it. I took pullings w/o roots from my S. x 'Dana's Delight' and my VFT typical. I also took a bud from my spider plant as an afterthought, since I've been...

I'm trading away a significant portion of my propagation stash of pings. I'm only looking for Neps, Cephs, and Heli's. I'm willing to trade multiple pings for one plant depending on value. Thanks! This is only a partial list and picture of what may be available (these are just what I have...

I would like to ship a baby ping titan to a pal accros the country. Never having shipped a live plant before I'm looking for advice. The ping is about a half inch high or so, only recently transplanted into it's pot from the propagation tray. It does have a few roots. Would it have been better...

I took some leaf pullings from my D. paradoxa about 8 months ago and put them in a tube filled with R/O water. Since then my mother plant died while I was away. I decided to plant up the leaf pullings that sprouted. Here are some pics that show my method of leaf pulling propagation. The tube of...

Every now and then, Sarracenia rhizomes may create a new growth point close to the main growth point. After a few weeks, this growth point will make a few pitchers; these pitchers may be the size equivalent to those of Sarracenia seedlings. If left alone, in a few years this growth point will...

In May 2009 I begin work on my undergraduate thesis project. I chose to focus on Drosophyllum lusitanicum. My attention was first brought to this plant reading The Savage Garden by D' Amato. In this book and other literature I read about the difficulty of propagating this species. As a new...

While googling around, (one of my favorite geeky pastimes) I found this: "The second was simply to plunge a stick into the ground an inch or so from the plant to a depth of about 3 inches - small diameter stick of about 1/4-1/3 inch. the result is that the plant sprouts new "heads" near the...

Well, I finally received my first Mexiping, a cute little P. laueana. I've been reading about them, etc. and it seems that pings can be very easily propagated. The plant I have is about 1-1.5 inches across, and has just left its dormant period, as there are about 3-4 carnivorous leaves...

I had 3 BEAUTIFUL Saracenia flower stalks this year, one a red form Psittacina and 2 Flava "cutthroats". It isn't a big amount of flowers, but they're my first, so I was excited. About a month back, the Psitt flower aborted for a reason that only the Psitt and God knows. Then a sweet little 2...

VFT Forum Goers, My lovely B52 is flowering! yeah! I was thinking of either pollinating it (something i know how to do lol), or trying to vegi-prop it via the flower stalk. Can you guys give me a basic run-down of how to accompish this? Of, and if you have a intereesting VFT flowering ATM, id...

I was wondering whether anyone out there has had any experience (or, more properly, luck) in propagating Cephalotus via its flower stalk? Since it is a fairly common process with Dionaea and some others -- and considering that a few of my plants are now in the process of blooming (and I should...

Last year, I had a very nice, compact, clumping Echeveria. It was producing at least six pups last November. Like all Echeverias, though it didn't like getting overwatered, especially in the cooler months. I overwatered it and it began to lose some lower leaves. Then I saw that its stem was...

I finally broke down and ordered a red Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum) off Ebay to reduce to bonsai starts. The only local nurseries which have them want $100-$200 for the same size 4 ft tree I ordered for $20 (hell ova markup!). I realize it will be all long and twiggy and I won't get to bonsai...

i would like to start by saying i found this on www.thegardenhelper.com . this is not my work, it is that of the person who posted this on the site mentionned above. I thought it is EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE and makes defining easy by using plain old english, and not technical terms! Please, ENJOY...

Hey everyone, So as some of you migh remember my, Muluensis x Lowii made a basal. it is know pretty nig 4 leaves, and I was told to cut it at about that size. I want to propagate it, what is the best way? Do I use pure LFS Moss, lots of light, will it root? Please let me know. Thanks in...

Which is easier for this plant (want to mass produce it)seed, leaf, or root cuttings?:help: Does it create underground shoots easily/ at all? I keep snipping the flower stalks off. I won't (obviously) if seed turns out to be the easiest form of propagation. I only have one plant, and have very...

Hey everyone! Just joined the other day, college buddy of mine((EdaxFlamma)) showed me to this forum and I figured I would join. I live and go to college in Delaware((UD)), I'm a Landscape Design and BFA double major. My interests currently reside in orchids and hibiscus, though my collection...

Hello Friends, Here's a few shots of my Byblis 'Goliath' cultivar, taken in early morning. Despite the recent freeze here in Florida, all is alive and well. I've been working on propagation and have hundreds of seedlings growing inside in grow chambers with lights. I should have many, many...

I posted this on CPUK forum but i am trying to get as much info on this as possible so those who have already read this...forgive me:-) I grow my plants in terrarium but this contribution to the forum is not as much about terraria as it is about artificial feeding of CPs so if needed please move...
