pygmies

sooo...this morning, i went into the room i keep aome of my plants in, to turn on their light, just like every morning. i turn on the light, and look at the pots. (i have three pots under this light, one with a little cape sundew(which i thought was dead, but apparently the roots were still...

A few weeks ago, all of my drosera started to turn brown on the tips and die back, even the capes. There is one pot of typical capes that is doing fine, but the rest are turning brown... All except the pygmies. On top of this, there are these tiny little white bugs that resemble springtails but...

I've had some pygmies now for about a month, they grew from gemmae. They have seemed happy and grew quickly to their present state. But they appear to be in decline now. I'm wondering if I have been giving them insufficient lighting as it is less lighting than I typically have given my other...

Kind of curious. What humidity/light intensity/temperature do you keep your pygmies at? I'm specifically dealing with Roseanna right now. I'm having pretty good luck, but am always interested in adjusting what I've got going on if better ideas surface. At the moment they are experiencing...

This is a really cool species, it forms gemmae in a flowery pattern, never seen pygmies do this before... I harvested the gemmae and there was about 40 total. I am thinking of trading a few in sets of 10, or more depending on the kind of trade. So maybe 20 total would get traded. I am...

I've read pygmies seem to care little about the levels of humidity in which they are grown. I have them in a high-humidity environment now (with my Nepenthes). Is 70% humidity good/bad/whatever?

roseanna by kwende.rush1, on Flickr Never tried pygmies before, but giving it a go now. Amazingly fast plants.

I am looking for pygmy dew gemmae, and I have a bunch of Sarracenia hybrid seeds, and I set some aside to trade with. All of these seeds were mixed by yours truly, and were pre-planned for interesting and colorful crosses. (oreo. AL x flava. atropurpurea) x flava ornata 50 seeds available...

A month or so ago, about half of the 10 Drosera Scorpioides plants in my pot started dying although the other 5 looked totally healthy. Then, just recently, the last few started dying back. Is there any particular cause of death that anyone can find? All of my other pygmies are doing great and...

Darlingtonia: D. californica – Butterfly Valley, CA Dionaea: ‘Typical’ ‘Red Dragon’ 'King Henry' Drosera: D. adelae D. binata D. capensis 'alba' D. capensis ‘Narrow’ D. 'Marston Dragon' D. rotundifolia D. spatulata D. spiralis Pygmies: D. x carburop D. enodes – Scott’s River D. nitidula x...

Last winter I changed out all the soil in the bog, put in a bottom layer of gravel and upturned buckets, and refilled it with a better, looser, sandier mix with orchid bark and chopped pine needles. The plants LOVED it. Then a couple months ago a raccoon got in and ****ed up the west end...

I have some seed left over from my plants. The seed is all fresh. There is D. glanduligera (lots), D. macrophylla (few), 3 species of pygmies (very few), Utric multifida (lots) and the new form of U. multifida (few) Check out the pics of this form in the Utric threads. I am not interested in...

Greetings. I'm starting a new carnivorous plant terrarium this week. I don't have any pictures yet, but I'll give you a preview of what it will have by the end of the week: 20 gallon terrarium 125watt CFL greenhouse style terrarium At least 6 different Pinguiculas (Lutea, Caerulea, Agnata...

So I have a plant rack set up in my apartment. It has the standard 4' wide T5/8s, wireframe shelf, with the plants being about 4-8" away from the lights. (Smallest pots are 8" away, my neps gets closer to 2-4ish. All sides of the rack including top and bottom are covered in tinfoil to...

Hi everyone, I've been looking at chameleons lately, and am super duper in love with pygmy leaf chameleons. I've seen all of these websites selling them, however, I'm wondering if any are reputable. Does anyone have any experience with receiving reptiles in the mail (overnight shipping)? Online...

Hey all, it's been a while! I am currently debating switching over my "tropical" dews and the few intermediate Neps I have into a 20 long and leaving my 15 gallon for the pygmies and pings. Right now my current collection is crammed into said 15 gallon, and everything is doing great but I want...

I am looking for these plants: Nepenthes: Aristolochioides Hamata Spectabilis Spectabilis x. Ventricosa Ramispina Jamban Any other highlanders not on my growlist Drosera: Prolifera Indica Regia Paradoxa All pygmies Any others not on my growlist Sarracenia: Anything not on my growlist...

Last year I made my first attempt at propagating Cephalotus via leaf pullings, and had success with one leaf out of two, from an immature 'Hummers Giant' and just a week ago, that pulling opened its first mature trap. They grow up so fast :) Here is one of my Typical cephalotus that seems to...

Well, I bought too many gemmae and have run out of room (again). So, up for auction are two different pygmies in 3" pots, starting at $2. D.pulchella x nitidula and D.pulchella Salmon Flower Winner pays shipping... I'm shipping potted because they don't take well to being unpotted, so PM...

So hopefully.. I just keep posting pics here all the time instead of continually making new threads. Here we go..things have been slow because it's been chilly and dark this winter, but it's finally picking up. To start 'er off, here's a tilly All my plants are making 'stupid little lid...
