    When to Repot Attenboroughii Seedlings?

    I've talked to a few people about this in chats but I haven't gotten a straight answer. I have six attenboroughii seedlings, all with 2-3 pitchers on them. Some of them are starting to make larger pitchers. The leaves on one may be 1/2mm in width even. They have 2-3 carnivorous leaves each...

    Acclimating Sarracenia Outdoors

    Hey everyone! I tried searching my question but couldn't find anything. If it's already been answered apologies for the extra thread. I haven't tried my hand at Sarracenia yet but will be changing that up soon. For most CPs I either use the humidity dome or baggy method over the course of 4 - 6...

    Is this a good pot for my Pings?

    Hey guys! I was told not to use clay pots with CPs because they release harmful minerals over time. But isn't ceramic pottery made out of clay? Does it really matter if the outside of the pot is glazed or not? I'm just trying to figure out if I should repot my pings into this pot: I've been...

    WIP New Lowland Grow Chamber

    My "beginner chamber" literally fits inside the new one. lol. Was finally able to repot all of my older nepenthes which was desperately needed. 80% of them were root bound. Only reason I didn't repot the ampullaria is bc it was a recent purchase so i know it is fine root-wise. For the past 6...

    Nepenthes hamata #2

    I recently mentioned that my second hamata just produced a dud pitcher and the plant growth slowed way down. It turns out that the NZ sphagnum became too compacted and caused the roots to rot away. The tap root is still long and healthy looking and there is no foliage die-back so I re-potted...

    Should I repot?

    Hello again guys! It's fussy little me again! My little Laueana is doing fine and growing well but I noticed that when I go to pluck off dead leaves it's really easy to litteraly lift the entire plant out of the pot! It's attached to a clod of dirt and two rocks with moss on it. Being so easy...

    N. burbidgeae

    In the fall, three of us got together & ordered some SG plants from a nursery. All three of us got SG N. burbidgeae (& I added a N. fusca & N. veitchii). Since I coordinated the order, the plants were shipped to me. While the plants were healthy, they were less than perfect. After evaluating the...

    Received Sarracenia rhizomes

    I just purchased five random rhizomes from someone and they arrived bare rooted. My question is whether I should put them in a medium before I put them in the fridge for the next couple months, or whether they could remain mostly bare rooted wrapped in some spaghnum. They are in hibernation now...

    ??? When To Transplant Pygmy Dews ???

    Here they are... Why can't the grow in the same pot? I foolishly didn't add sand to the top portion of the mix, so algae/mold keeps growing and is overtaking them. They're in my greenhouse with natural sunlight and good air flow. So when can I repot them without setting them back in growth...

    Young N. miranda That Has NEVER Had Pitchers, plus ID request

    I've looked through previous threads, hoping to find the answer to this, but since I didn't really find anything that satisfied my question(s), I'm posting on here for a solution. I have a young-well, actually TWO-N. mirandax hybrids that I purchased last spring at a reptile show from a guy who...
