Cephalotus, inducing stress for faster growth....
I'm curious if anybody has an opinion about possibly speeding growth of Cephalotus with induced stress (please keep reading). Originally, I purchased three plants. I had grown this plant with great success for about fifteen years. Therefore...
I have a few pings -- 3 or 4 P. moranensis, P. "Yucca Do 1713", and hopefully soon, a P. x 'Titan'.
They are currently growing under my 4' long grow lights in a windowsill and seem to be pretty happy -- the D. moranensis got a dusting of Crushed, Dried bloodworms recently, as did the Yucca Do...
Well, I finally received my first Mexiping, a cute little P. laueana. I've been reading about them, etc. and it seems that pings can be very easily propagated. The plant I have is about 1-1.5 inches across, and has just left its dormant period, as there are about 3-4 carnivorous leaves...
Hi! Along with other species I have these 2 south american drosera in my collection. Since the variability of the species is great I would like to know whether or not it is possible to determine where these plants come from just by looking at them. My drosera roraimae just started growing. I...
Sorry for the dunce newbie type question.
I have a nice ping that needs repotting.
Rescued from a Home Depot death cube 3 or 4 years ago and now doing very nicely.
Not sure exactly what variety it is, the tag didn't say.
It is still in it's winter rosette, calmly sitting in my north window here...
Here's a photo tour of a strange succulent genus called Adromischus that I've been collecting. A botanist named Tolken (!) put them in with Crassula but I think the Adros are way cooler!
Adromischus cristatus - you can't see it in the photo but there are aerial roots all up the stalk...
So some time in October, I bought a 6.99 Fred Meyer's cylinder of death fly trap.
It did 'ok' for a while, until I put it into dormancy, when then it died back and lost a few leaves - no biggy.
It remained a spindly rosette of green petioles until sometime in January when, in the midst of...
i would like to start by saying i found this on www.thegardenhelper.com . this is not my work, it is that of the person who posted this on the site mentionned above. I thought it is EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE and makes defining easy by using plain old english, and not technical terms!
Please, ENJOY...
Here are some pictures of a surprise batch of sundews that popped up in a pot that I planted with some sarracenia seeds I got. They started out low to the ground like a rosette then started to grow up, and up and up. Now guessing on the growth habit I think it may be some kind of tuberous...
Rosette's of Winter-form leaves can be quite large, the rosette in this photo, is 2.5 inches (6.35 cm) in diameter. Not counting the transitional leaves that are protruding beyond the compact Winter-form leaves:
Please share your observations of Winter rosettes of this species. I am interested...
I posted this on CPUK forum but i am trying to get as much info on this as possible so those who have already read this...forgive me:-)
I grow my plants in terrarium but this contribution to the forum is not as much about terraria as it is about artificial feeding of CPs so if needed please move...
While cleaning out my lowland terrarium I noticed an anomaly on my D. petiolaris 'All Red', with all my other petiolaris complex plants their flowers always grow on long stalks, however with my D. petiolaris 'All Red' the flower is nestled within the rosette and appears to have a very short...
I am guessing that Genlisea come in many different sizes. I recently received Genlisea lobata x violacea. The single rosette is approximately 1/2" across. My question is, what is the average size of these plants under good cultivation and do they have an "age" when they become blooming size?

Hello everybody!:-D
I got this pygmy some time ago marked as D. closterostigma. Doesnt seem to look much like it. I dont know what species this is could anyone help? Here are some pictures:
the rosette is 35mm across
flower detail (sorry a bit blurry)
The drosera made a new plantlet on...
I've been meaning to post this pic for a while, I got these plants as extra with an order from Andrew. Since I was not expecting them and didn't have a pot, I plugged them into a mini bog with my sarrs.
Forgive the poor quality of the pic, they are from when I first got them. They have since...
