repot

Oh good lord..

Recently the birds have been indulging on my nep spaghnum so much that I need to repot every single one I've had outside. I read on the ICPS forum that you could use cayenne powder for Sarracenia for squirrel prevention. I was wondering if it would be fine to use on Neps, and if it would even...

Cactus As you can see, it doesn't look "full" enough" and there are brown patches/scales? This thing has been declining the whole time I've had it--maybe I should repot it?:-( EDIT: The darkish spot towards the base is just dirt and shadow nothing to worry about. I'm more concerned about the...

i have a few sarracenia that are ready to be repotted, but those sarracenia that had repotted previously seems to go dormancy(producing curve leaf) straight away after i repotted it,i place them at their normal growing site(with lots of sunlight and rain)then it start to rot(from base, as those...

Hello folks. Just curious for a long lasting medium for my nepenthes. My current mix I highly peat and I think it might be the reason for the decline of my treasured truncata. It is a rather large plant and I have had it potted in the same huge pot for about 3 or more years now. I thought it was...

Another save from the brink of death... I bought another Nep today from my local garden centre today, when going to pick up a soil mix to seperate and repot a capensis alba, it had about five dead pitchers attached and a general look of abuse so I managed to get the price down to 4 pounds. It...

So.. these guys are really touchy!! I'm absolutely hating this media mix.. as you can see it's having some issues. And it seems that every time I move or repot the seedlings they either decline to the brink of death.. or just die. These are all that remain from my group, and I want to ensure...

Hello all I arrived home from holiday to find that my girlfriends nan who lives with us has put osmocote pellets on nearly all of my plants, I had bought the bag of osmocote to try some out on some neps but not used it yet, she thought she was helping and said some plants looked like they...

My sarracenia are suffering and I can't exactly figure out what is wrong. In some of them, when I unpot them, there are tiny black bugs in the soil that look like sugar ants. I thought that is what they were but as more and more sarracenia keep dying and I keep finding these bugs in the pots...

Hi, A question about my red dragon vft. I have had it about a year and a half. It sits on a windowsill, and has done pretty well so far. It has dark red color. Lately, the traps have been staying closed, and some leaves are dying off. New leaves are forming, slowly. The windowsill is not...

Hi everyone :) I just wanted to share some thoughts on the N. Alata that Ellison gave me. It currently has 3 large pitchers, and is producing 3 more, by far the fastest producer of the ones he gave me. Also, I think it is starting to vine, so I may have to repot it in the next few months. I...

Can I repot my Echinocactus grusonii, Mammillaria elongata, Mammillaria gracilis var. fragilis, and dragon fruit into a mixture of Miracle Gro and Perlite? Thanks, Adam

hello, i thought id post some pics, not just carnivores this time... first my nepenthes collection... King Rajah looking happy after his recent re-pot... Nepenthes red dragon... N. copelandii apo... N. hamata some what unhappy after its recent repot... My orchid collection... and more...

I apologize for the lack of picture, but I think I can explain this properly. So I have a large Ventrata with multiple vine and stalks all coming from 1 or 2 individual plants in a pot. One vine, however, has been growing rather strangely for the last few leaves. For the last 2 leaves on the...

Hey all, I have a number of questions that I would like to be answered, and I have been saving them all up untill now. Just for you ;). I thought I wouldn't waste forum space with about 10 questions in a period of, like, a week. :P Anyway, 5 problems/identifications! 1) My Nepenthes x Ventrata...

Just some photos I took today: Full Collection Nepenthes Miranda. Has quite a few growth points. I got it last fall, finally got one in good condition. Has been growing in my window this winter so that's why it's growing sideways. When I bought this from a local nursery it was labled as...

So I've been growing a Desmodium gyrans or Telegraph plant for a number of months so far. At first my lighting issues kept it from being very happy, because I didn't know how to provide it with bright enough lighting seeing as Winter was in full effect. Then, I heard it needed a dry dormancy...

So I stopped by a big local nursery today and had to choose between some giant Mirandas for $28 and these smaller, but still big Vents fro $16. I ended up with what seems like a healthy vent, so check it out! http://www.flickr.com/photos/hugh-jass/5586327716/ As you can see some of the leaves...

Hello everyone, figured I'd pop in and post a small update from the Mediterranean now that we're finally having some nice spring weather. I'm happy to say that nearly all my CPs made it through their first winter and are slowly waking up :banana2: I did lose one Sarracenia, but considering it...

I have my plants in my garage for winter, and we've had some warm days, but it's back into the 20s and 30s. I checked on my plants today and noticed that at least one is putting up a flower stalk. If they're putting up stalks, is it too late to repot? I repotted all my plants last spring, and...
