Several weeks ago I posted pictures of some Nepenthes seedlings that look pale yellow or very light green. I have been messing around trying some things and believe the faded look is due to too much light. I have several plastic cookie boxes and several 72 cells germination boxes with many...

Hey guys (i know, this is my third thread started today!) I was wondering, after all this research on tissue culture, how do people such as andreas sell their plants? well here is what i came up with- i will be purchasing a micropropogation lab in a few, and have decided spontaneously that i...

http://reviews.ebay.com/Selling-your-plants-on-Ebay?ugid=10000000001404806 Most people are totally unaware that to ship , sell move or cause to be moved, any plant material, live or dead wet or dry, a Nursery license is required by all States and Federal law. The individual states ALL require...

I have heard about a mystery disease, presumed to be a virus, that infects a lot of the Pinguicula 'Titan' material in cultivation. Its symptoms are twisted, deformed, and "rolled up" leaves, stunted growth, and inability to fully break dormancy (plants get "stuck" between dormant and active...

So, someone on OCPS forums admitted to taking plants from my cities local protected bog. Needless to say, I wanted to unleash the kracken and destroy this kid. But he is young, and I don't want to scare him away... Here is part of my response: I am from Ottawa, and am quite disappointed that...

Though I'm obviously not planning any dividing until much later this year, I'm looking ahead and anticipating. One problem I forsee is this: several of my plants are pretty impressive in size. I have a Sarracenia x catesbaei, for example, that is specimen-sized. As I look at the base of the...

i have an infestation of crane fly larvae in my large pot of pitcher plants. One by one they are dying off. I've tried manually removing them by flooding the pot and forcing them to surface but they are too numerous.. I just ordered some nematodes but then i realized they wont get to me for...

Just wanted to share my recent experience with the method of putting your villosa in the fridge. I suggest to not risk doing it. I tried putting it in the fridge as people suggest because my nighttime drops were only getting down to the high 70s and with day time temps of high 80s-90. The...

I rcd one about a week ago but it's not doing so well and need some friendly advice to help it recover. it is just starting to show some brown spots and most of the leaves are "droopy". I have a lowland terrarium with a small bical and raff var elongata in it and they are doing fine...however...

Good day, I recently received a number of fine quality South American Drosera from (left the name out, for Andy). The species in question are: D. gaminifolia D. rorimae D. camporoupestris I also received D. kaiturensis and D. esmeralda from a member on another forum a while back. Now, the...

Trichoderma is a biological plant growth stimulator that forms a symbiotic relationship with the root systems of plants. This relationship allows the plant to transport more water and absorb more nutrients to help ensure a happier, healthier plant. Trichoderma also has naturally occuring...

There was an article on a political blog this morning, describing a study at Cornell, which suggested that our democracy -- our republic anyway -- was in danger because the vox populi was too stupid to recognize what was good for them. My favorite quote was an Orwellian (maybe Huxleyian) riff by...

So my last few Nep seed attempts have been made in small plastic deli containers...with very mixed results. I would like to get higher and more frequent germination, and have seen many people using small seedling greenhouse trays. My question: I have 6 types on nepenthes seed coming soon. My...

Woke. Up this morning and noticed aphids on some of my plants. I'm forced to quaretine everything until I'm sure that the problem is taken care of. I apologize for the bad news but I will let you know asap when the problem has been cleared. I'm quarenting because I do not want to risk anyone...

This spefic plant has never really done well for me and I'm getting another one with darker color so I figured I'd try to trade this one. I need to ship this thing out wensday as it will be above freezing. If temps in your area will be routinely below freezing then shipping is at your own risk...

I've had this plant for some time and its never done well for me so if anybody's interested I'd be willing to trade it. It's only about 2" across since it died back to its roots a few months ago Bu it looks fairly healthy but has no pitchers. Looking for anything on my wantlist. Just PM me if...

I am baffled by a pest that shows up in my pots time and again. Have looked it up every time and I know that's amazing but it looks like I am the only person in the world who has seen it! No ID. I think I can get rid of it, but I REALLY want to learn what it is, more out of heightened...

A number of weeks ago I brought my Cephalotus in from outside, the largest of which had a flower stalk which had finished flowering. Being rather lazy, I decided to just pull the stalk out, rather than cut it, which resulted in me pulling out a length of rhizome, a pitcher and some leaves...

Trade: D. slackii plant for D. graomogolensis I've got a nice little Drosera slackii that I would like to trade to a good home and I'm looking for a Drosera graomogolensis. I am new to the forum and so I don't have a batting average for trades, which I guess makes me bit of a risk. Anyone...
