    Pest control on sarracenia.

    There's something eating my Dana's Delight, but not my purpurea or any other plant in the bog pot. It chews small holes into the side of the pitcher, which falls over after a couple days of this. I haven't seen what it is yet, but I think it's some sort of katydid. I'll stay up later to see...

    Guide me through my container bog

    Hey folks. After doing lots of reading I've decided to try my hand first at an outdoor container bog. As I've mentioned in previous posts I'm in Texas, zone 9, near Houston. I plan to do mostly sarracenia with a couple VFT, sundews, bladderwort, and even a cobra lily if one would survive for...

    First CP thread

    Hey folks. I'm very new around here. This is my first attempt at CP. I've made the classic hobbyist mistake that I've scolded so many fellow reefers for doing, which is buying livestock before you research. Luckily I didn't mess up too bad I recently picked up a S. Purpurea, and a VFT from...

    Total newcomer to the hobby

    Hello there. This forum appears to be a great resource. I am COMPLETELY new to this hobby with zero experience with bog plants and carnivorous plants of any kind. I am, however, an avid hobbyist in the aquarium world for many years and seasoned forum user. Wanted to drop by and say hello...

    in situ CP weekend

    I spent this weekend visiting different CP sites throughout New England. The first stop was a failed attempt to see Pinguicula vulgaris in New Hampshire with Natch. The site is at the top of a large talus slope. We were able to get about 3/4 of the way up but then got stuck at a thick treeline...

    Sarracenia Mid-Season Kill count

    I have been neglecting my Sarracenia Clusters of photos, time for a night excursion. (Sorry pictures suck. IT was really dark with a bad flashlight.) I thought the greenhouse would be the best location for my bog plants, But its not so. A good amount of light is lacking, so next season im...

    Pleurozia purpurea a carnivorous UK Liverwort

    This subject arose in discussion yesterday with Stephen Morley at his open day. I mentioned my Liverworts and said a carnivorous one would link two of my plant types and there it is. www.bbsfieldguide.org.uk/sites/default/files/pdfs/liverworts/Pleurozia_purpurea.pdf BTW , it's North American too

    Honzo's Texas Mini-Bog(s)

    Howdy, y'all! Starting a series of pots in the front yard. These will be fully exposed to the harsh Texas sun and relatively low humidity (generally around 30%-40%). My main purpose for this thread is to hopefully clear up any doubts that these plants can be grown in harsh conditions such as...

    FT: Hybrid Nepenthes seedlings for Sarracenia, Tillandsia

    Sadly, I must dispose of about a dozen Nepenthes hybrid seedlings that I do not have the room to grow out. Before doing so, I wanted to see if anyone would like to trade for Sarracenia or Tillandsia. The seedlings are N. splendiana crossed with this Song of Melancholy and this other SoM clone...

    Ants living in my Sarracenia?

    Today, I noticed a great deal of ants swarming about my Sarracenia. I was very surprised when I peered into an old purpurea pitcher from last year, and found this! It appears that my collection has been colonized by a group of Tetramorium caespitum. (Any ant taxonomists out there to confirm...

    overwintering

    Sad to say my collection of Sarracenia species, dionaea and drosera were wiped out by the cold this past winter here in Vermont. The previous year I only lost one plant, this past year I think only 2 plants out of about 25 pulled through. I kept them high on a shelf in my attached but unheated...
