repot

I'm sure lots of us are at university right now, and still growing some very nice plants. I just moved in, so I was wondering if you could share some of your setups. In particular where do you keep soil and repot without getting bits of sphagnum everywhere? Also, does anyone have a terrarium...

Hello! In April 2010 I was walking to the top of campus at SFSU and passed by the University green house. They were having a plant sale and I decided to check it out. I ended up purchasing a Sarracenia x readii and had no idea what I was getting myself into or how I  would get swept up with the...

A few weeks ago, my Drosophyllum died when its pot was tipped over by a vandal. In the course of trying to repot it, I saw that the peat pot that it came in had not broken down even thought the plant had already been in a larger pot for six months, and that the soil inside the peat pot was very...

I would like to repot my capensis soon, I am leaving for awhile Saturday and leaving the feeding and watering up to the family so I would like fresh and clean soil to reduce complications. I am having a very difficult time looking for small bags of sphagnum peat. I found beach sand at Lowes...

I've always been interested in taking the superstition and mystery out of the cultivation of CPs. In the past I've had the opportunity to do so from a cultivation angle, now I have more-quantitative tools available. I'll often see discussions of old media coming up. Many repot religiously to...

Hello, this is my first post here. I have received these Heliamphora on 21st April 2014, as I made a terrarium for them on that night. They look so healthy when I received, with bunch of roots and pitchers. Which I soak them with Trichoderma for 2 hrs 30 mins before potting. Here, I will post...

I was poking around at my Sarracenias today and some pots don't seem to have enough pearlite. Is it still safe to repot? Most of them have unopened pitchers popping up. Can I just leave them alone or will their roots rot? I am in Portland so it rains quite often but I do notice that the water...

This spring marks 20 years that I have been growing CP's! :) I started my collection in the Spring of 1994, I was 25 years old and had just moved to Rochester for a new job.. Some of my VFT's, and a S. leucophylla or two, are probably those original 20 year old plants! ;) (I have no idea which...

I finally ordered some trichoderma and set out to repot my heli this good friday. Some 3 hours later and pulling apart strands of LFS I finally got around to repotting my heli (thanks to Av8tor1's awesome sticky). You were right, it was definitely in need of repotting. I just wanted to share...

Hi, I recently took a weekend trip and came back to find my heliamphora looking less than happy. After doing a bit of research, the sudden death syndrome that I have read about seems to be related to fungal infections. I received this plant in a juvenile stage about a year ago. Slowly but...

I have a newbie question with it comes to d. filiformis. I have been growing this plant for years and decided to repot this plant this spring. I noticed about 5 buds and wondered if the plant could be separated into 5 plants? I have always been alittle confused on how to divide this drosera, and...

Hey Everyone: About a month ago, I stopped by the UNH greenhouses and saw that they had a great CP display, but it needed some help. Mostly, everything just needed to be repotted them. I contacted them and they were more than happy to have me come out - on behalf of the NECPS - to help train...

So around 3 years ago, I got a little Cephalotus for my birthday. It was around 2" in diameter, and only had little tiny baby pitchers. I kept it under a constant 16ON/8OFF lighting cycle, 4" under a single T8 bulb, at 60-80% humidity and temperatures between 68 and 72, with no change in...

So my vft will need repotted this year -- the terra cotta pot is falling apart (I keep it outside until we start expecting conditions beyond hard frosts) and the moss growing on the media seems to be dangerously close to rising up and enveloping the vft. Currently, the plant is in the fridge...

I have a few Nepenethes around my house (ventricosa, alata, other typicals) and I feel like I have to water them too much due to drying out. Whether it is because I am spoiled on the ease of my proportionally larger and less time consuming Sarracenia collection or something else, I find watering...

I rescued several abused Neps from a local marajuana supply store. They were mostly dead, thankfully I was able to recover most of them, some only as cuttings. One plant had two dark green leaves, about three inches across. It took all of nine months for it to do anything. Finally it popped...

Hi! How old/big sarracenia seedlings have to be so they can be repotted? Mine are about 1-2 months old and the biggest ones are making their 5th pitcher. I have read that repotting should be done within 1-2 months after germination or betweed 3-5 true leaves. One problem is that some of the...

Hi friends. In this video you can see how to repot one Drosophyllum without damaging the roots. It's in Spanish but you understand the images. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgcIbWDomnk greetings from spanish association

About three or four weeks ago, my U. longifolia started sending up a flower spike, so I thought it was time to repot. I had been delaying doing so and if I did not I figured it would be three months or so before I could if I did not do it then. I held back one plantlet for a giveaway here...
