rot

I decided to make a thread for the tub I am using to grow my Orchidioides Utricularia. The first post can be found in the section Orchidioides discussion thread.I started this a little more than a month ago, with Utricularia reniformis and asplundii. Currently in addition to those I have...

These are all the varieties that I have seen or researched, this is a fully up to date list, and I hope many of you find it helpful. Nearly all varieties are unofficial, some not well described, and others hardly described at all. So far 'Albino' is the only variety with an official status...

I lost quite a few plants this winter but I have a Sarracenia that is sending up much smaller pitchers than usual. Should I dig it up and cut away the part of the rhizome that is dead or should I just leave it be. I'm a bit concerned that the dead part may have some kind of 'rot' that will...

Cephalotus "Hummer's" divisions for other Ceph cultivars/genetic stock (or Heli's?) Hi guys, I have a few Cephalotus crown divisions up for trade, one of which has a flower stalk. I bought the mother plant maybe 5-6 years ago as a Hummer's Giant crown division from an eBay seller in Alaska...

This is a set of cuttings that partially overlaps with the other Begonia auction I have, which is plants with roots. Since these have a finite lifetime, I'd obviously like to get these in the mail on Monday, Tuesday at the latest. Until then, I'll have them outside, where it's at least a few...

Hey all, I was hoping you guys could help me conquer my problems with rhizome rot. I've moved all my plants outside into a small grow tent/greenhouse thing in hopes that sunlight and airflow will help prevent any new cases. However, I am also curious if there are any strong fungicides that I...

Hi! It's been a while! After browsing the web I've found a lot of really neat lava rocks with pings growing out of them. How is this done? 1) How big does the lava rock have to be? 2) Does it require ANY soil? (I find myself having a lot of issues with peat or sand. I do well with almost...

My friends just gave me a bunch of tulip bulbs and I don't have the room to plant them all. Instead of letting them rot away, I thought I would trade them away. I don't know what kind or colors they are. I am trying to rebuilt my small sundew collection. I am looking for looking for D. capensis...

So long story short I recently received a robcantleyi x hamata with a relatively fragile root system that I suspect was damaged during the whole unpackaging/potting process. It's been about a week and the growth tip is visibly progressing but the bottom most leaf is now yellow. Probably due to...

With it being Black friday and all, Im gonna go and see if any of the remaining garden stores around town will have anything worth a look. However, Ive been really curious to see how these netted Hydroponics pots work for nepenthes. Does anybody use these/have any information on using them for...

After speaking with several members here among other growers, I have realized that there are more misconceptions about successfully growing these plants than I had thought. I wrote the care sheet below last year for the NECPS members to use as a guide for their cultivation and I hope that it can...

[/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] I am a bit concerned with my ceph at the moment. The leaves and pitchers have been browning and dying off, which isn't that unusual but the young growth has also been doing that and new growth has all but stopped. The plant sits in a southern window in about 1/4" of...

I recently received a few hamatas from Wistuba. One of them has a blackening leaf on it that has me slightly worried. I believe that it is just tissue damage from the trip as it appeared to be blackening when I first received it. The growth appears to be progressing on it. My other hamatas are...

It really doesn't matter what media (in this case half silica sand and half coral sand) I use, it is always wet. That's because I keep my potted Mexican/equitorial Pinguicula in plastic trays, and I keep the water levels in the trays, near the top of the media levels in the pots. I do this...

Here is a pic of one of my Pinguicula cyclosecta in a 3.5 inch pot. The plant is transitioning to winter leaf form. The media is pumice with a little silica sand mixed in. The dark surface on the media is a film that forms, over time - it is likely a mixture of bacteria/algae and other...

I have several varieties of pings that now resemble mutant brussels sprouts. Do any of you have suggestions for awakening them? Would longer photoperiods, increased temperatures, or slightly more water help? I know they are more susceptible to root rot when they are dormant, so I am hesitant to...

Hi there, I have 2 cuttings of nepenthes in water, since a long time ago and now they have a few roots... It's time to plant the cuttings in peat moss, or maybe wait until the roots get bigger and stronger? Ps: How long they can stay in the water before they rot?

For a few years now I have been losing neps quite regulary where the roots on examining are very wirey black and dead. And often the dieback extends into the base of the plant. Healthy nep roots I find are black, thicker with micro hairs on them and white caps to the ends. I keep losing plants...

Is there a way to treat root rot?

I've had this ventricosa for almost a year now, and it's been doing great. Two lower leaves are yellowing, and I first thought it was just age. A few days ago, however, I noticed that the oldest leaf has a very dark tip to it, as if someone covered it with charcoal dust. All the other leaves...
