rot

hey guys i was wondering if any of you use trichoderma fungus on nepenthes roots to prevent root rot and encourage healthy root growth

I have 1 minor hybrid(I think noid is the proper term) that started to do poorly. I was a decent sized rhizome but the pitchers started dropping. I pulled it and after inspection that one side of the rhizome is squishy and rust colored..... but only half of it. After some research it seems it...

I lost my Cephalotus 'Hummer's Giant do to crown rot, and i am looking to replace it. Check my growlist ? let me know if anyone is interested. Regards :-(

Finally decided to bite the bullet and repot my big old N. villosa! Its been in its old compost too long and also got jammed in its home in the greenhouse. I should have done it a few years back as the leaves are looking more stressed than I like and pitchering as been few and far between these...

Please forgive my ignorance, but are sundews capable of root rot? I had a clump of Capensis and one by one started wilting and dying. I repotted the remaining ones and looked at the roots, but they look fine. I've seen gnat larvae in the pot before, but found only one. The stems were hollow...

I trusted someone else to water my Lowland neps when I was gone and they gave them wayyyy too much water. There was actual standing water in the bottom of the pot...about 2 inches. It was only saturated for about 24 hours. I removed as much excess as I could but the media is still pretty wet...

Just today as I was looking at the plants, I noticed my maxima had caught some large cockroaches. It's not a humongous pitcher and I'm worried how much it can eat! When it first opened it caught one (like inch and a half), and today I noticed two more fresh ones, side by side. I beleive they're...

hi guys i just discovered a fungicide that deals with root rot. The active ingredient is captan. Has anyone used a fungicide with captan safely on nepenthes. The ratio is 500g per kg

While looking up information for the cultivation I have found that there are very few guides to growing N. villosa, so I thought I would write up a basic guide to its cultivation from the information I have found and my limited experience (two months) with the plant. Nepenthes villosa or the...

Hi all, I am having a little trouble with D. filiformis, all types and verities, and could use some help. It seems I can not get this particular species of Drosera to really get started in the spring. I will usually wind up buying a few in late June or July, pot them up in the usual 50/50 mix...

Hello, Anyone just use orchid bark mix for there Nepenthes plants? Perhaps the medium size with charcoal added. I have been using it for a few N. vents and sangs with no problems as far as I can tell. I just mist the soil top a bit more than usual but they seem to not mind. I started using...

I know that in the wild S. psittacina has been known to capture aquatic prey during flooding. Does anyone know how long can they be submerged for, or if it would begin to rot or kill the plant due to flooding being a temporary thing? Would it be a possible way to help curb the "wigglers"...

In June of 2011 I bought my first Cephalotus follicularis; the so-called "vigorous" clone from D. Hastings. I knew little about the care and cultivation of this mysterious species, but as is my way, I sought every snippet of information available to help me forge a plan for its care. This is the...

I'm a bit worried about my H. Minor. I think I made a major screw up. To give a brief summary of its condition. The plant was purchased from the FTS and from my understanding, it was raised in a greenhouse with relatively low humidity conditions. I have it an open container, sitting on a...

Hello folks, just want to share my recent experience with my p.moranensis. Since january, my moran was at 50% air humidity and 20-30C. Then i put them in a highland terrarium at 75-100% humidity, same temp. After 3-4 days, my ping explode! He made giants leaves, almost the double, without any...

I am new to butterworts and need a little help! I received a P. Titan and P. Pirouette about two months ago. They were dormant when they arrived and I was told to give them their dry dormancy for another month or so. I gradually increased watering and the Pirouette started making carnivorous...

Is this root rot or is the vine just wooding over? The lower part that turned black is starting to get a woody texture. Please tell me this is no root rot! The basals seem fine. Is this root rot? :( It's spreading up towards the green leaves, no leaves are showing any blackness yet. The soil...

hi all In the last year something bad going over my plants,i had a snail attack on my collection and it seem that i cant get rid of them .I always find new small snails in my media.tried few things but nothing helps.I lost alot of plants due 2 root rot ( aristo ,inermis,jacquelinae...)all were...

ROOT ROT: Well, I'm really getting into neps. I don't want to jump in and spends tons of cash before I know my neps are thriving. Neps 1-3 I've had for around a month and they have obviously settled in, as they are vinining quickly and/or creating new leaves and pitchers. Neps 4-6 I've had for...

My first guess is root rot, or it's going into some sort of dormancy bud. I'm not worried about it, because I have a feeling it will sprout more plants form the base, even if it is root rot. Plus, I can always take last minute leaf cuttings.. What do you think? the other one next to it is fine...
