Sorry...this post was meant to go into the Nepenthes forum and was placed here on mistake (I don't know how to delete a thread so I just removed the content).

i have always had lots of trouble growing drosera roraimae, the first time i recieved a seedling it died and now i have bought a new more mature drosera roraimae from the summit of mount roraima but im having trouble growing it, i have it growing in artificial fluorescent lighting, it gets...

I've had my Ceph for quite a while now but I've noticed over the months that some pitchers seem to be yellowing a bit and the oldest pitchers at the under-center of the plant (hard to see in the pic) are definitely dead. Is this something to be worried about? I've heard the Cephs can often cause...

Hi everybody, For many years now, I've been growing the super rare hybrid Dr. rotundifolia x linearis (or the opposite, sorry, I don't know, lin x rot) . I'd be happy to swap the ever-growing population I'm having here, it grows like weeds. Basically (cf other tread) I am interested in Dr...

Greetings all, I am procrastinating right now and avoiding responsibility for just a few more minutes so I thought I would make a list of some of the carnivorous plants I think are best to start with- a long with some comments. This list is meant to be pretty general and is perhaps USA centric...

Are rhizomes supposed to be buried under the ground or sit on top of the soil? Last year I noticed that my sarr rhizomes appeared very prone to rot buried as they were in the soil. When I dug some up to divide them I saw that roots had been growing out all over the place, even from the top of...

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...

There is a multitude of flower types and colours available on the thousands of Satsuki varieties available, the main four being: Selfs-single colour, Fukurin-coloured centres with white edges, Sokojiro-white centre with coloured edges and Shibori-which covers all the stripped, half & half...

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...

Hey TF members! Have you ever grew something and never growing it again or taking a long break from growing it? Of course, I'll start:) Phalaenopsis Orchids-Yup, that's right those "easy, beginner ones". Tried 5 times with different kinds at different times, they "survived" for a while.... then...

I am trying to clean up my collection after a couple of years of neglect and I have too many plants so I am giving away some stuff for the most part. I have about 15 large divisions of S. flava (common form) and 11 of S. leucophylla. The thing with the S. leucophylla is that they may be either...

Do any of you grow Hippeastrum (or Amaryllis)? I currently have a ton, and have created several hybrids of my plants. I currently have 40 or so seed grown ones from well over 100. I've let drought and rot take these, to make plants even easier to care for. These seedlings are of various crosses...

*pix added* one of the new pitcher on my ceph is turning black. so I took a look at my ceph like everyday. and noticed one of new pitcher's lid is turning black. rot maybe? should i cut it off? if so where at? right at the pitcher or close to the "trunk"?

Come spring I'd like to start collecting a couple butterworts. I have a really nice, sprawling collection of Sundews, Nepenthes, VFTs, Sarrs and even bladderworts. Pings are my last unexplored territory (completely unexplored). I was wondering if anybody could recommend some good, starter...

Earlier this year when I was living in Mississippi I posted about my pitcher plants not thriving like they should have been, and eventually I figured out the cause... It was because the soil I used had waaaaaaay to much LFS in it (I think I used LFS, peat, and sand in a 1:1:1 ratio), and over...

I received my first Wistuba order about 2 weeks ago and the plants are having problems. The hamata katopasa had stem rot and probably will not make it. I contacted AW and he issued a replacement for this one (next spring). However, now the tenuis and another hamata have these brown copper...

Ok so my N. Tentaculata hasnt pitchered for a few months and now it has finally started pitchering. Unfortunetly, it's making these weird deformed pitchers. When I bought it, it did have a pitcher like this. I have proper HL conditions except for humidity. Humidity is about 50-60% so that might...

Im thinking .:-D Why cant I just put all these traps as is, (just like they are in my mini fridge at say 42 to 46 F till late february), and just pot them back up then ? . I know others do this , but do I need to do more than just putting another stryo. plate on as a lid, and tape them...

So, I got a bare-root ventricosa as an impulse buy several weeks ago. It showed up looking pretty sickly, so I rinsed the roots with RO, rinsed the leaves with an alcohol solution and potted it up in pure, clean, LFS. I'm awaiting an improvement, but I figured I'd run it by you guys for a proper...
