    Maintaining american carnivores - indoors?

    Hi all, I'm Joe and I'm new to terraforums... I recently bought the healthiest of a couple of sad-looking Sarracenia flava ornata from my local nursery. They didn't know much about it (it was labeled as a Cobra Lily) and basically all I knew was it liked clean water and the pitchers fell over...

    N. neoguineensis

    Again my Wistuba order arrived on my B-day (not today), 2nd year in a row that's happened, weird! Anyway, just one of the rarer plants I've had on back order has finally arrived, it's an 8 cm N. neoguineensis. I'm just curious if anyone else is growing this one and if you've got any successful...

    Oh no!

    I lost my second N. burbidgeae x edwardsiana today The first died shortly after getting it. But this had appeared to settle in and even produced 4 pitchers in a row. But the last few days the pitchers died quickly and the leaves had the dreaded yellow/brown look. After cutting it up today even...

    Teachers call me names now too

    A boy in school is starting to bully me regualy. He hits me with the ball in P.E deliberatley and keeps pushing me, and he calls me names like fat and swears at me and says that mum probably has a padlock on the fridge to stop me eating food. So I had enough. In assembly, I kicked the back of...

    Experimental bog garden pics

    On a spur of the moment I put together a miniature bog garden with some extra bricks I found, extra pond liner I had and what was left of my peat moss. All in all it took me about an hour to build. I am basically just trying to sacrifice a couple of my plants to see if they will survive the...

    Sorry i was gone for a while.

    Sorry about my abscence.. first, for the past few days the computer has been freezing up every time I boot it up. Did it three times in a row a couple days ago.

    Growing my VFT Collection

    Well I got my shipment in from PetFlytrap yesterday.  I picked up 4 more Green Dragon bulbs (they sent 5, yey!) and two packages of soil since I don't trust my soil. I noticed their soil was using a lot less perlite than I have been using.  I was going with a 50/50 mix and they seem more like...

    3 pitchers later

    It sure has taken on some shape since the first and second pitcher! It looks like a colorless N. x Judith Finn. The pticher before it had some kind of weird problem and had trouble opening. Then it turned red, then crispy red, and dried up. The one before that was overfed and grew fungus. The...

    I'm running for political office

    My main qualification is I am good at keeping my trap shut! I can stick to the issues. Just pitcher me in the Senate! Trust me, I'll put a flytrap in every pot. There aren't any flies on me, I can tell you that, and once I get hold of something I don't let go. I am also quick to digest...

    Pygmi progress

    Just a thred to record milestones in the growing of my first Gemmae, several other types of sundew seed and some northern purple pitcher seed. Do to the lack of most medium this time of year, I've desided to experiment with a seedling growing kit that should reduce transplant shock.  I got a...

    So complicating...

    Ugh. I've had one pitcher form completely out of the terrarium, and one formed half in it. It is fully out, and it is humid enough to produce copious amounts of nectar, but it is about three, coming four leaves behind in pitcher production... Once its current unfurling leaf unfolds it will have...
