Okay, I was trimming dead leaves off my Drosera Adelae, and I noticed two of those roots growing off the stem. Mind you, this is a vey important part of this question. While I was trimming, I thought, "If I accidentally clipped off the stem under those roots and I planted the top, would it...

I found this story when checking tech news. It is probably the worst concept that you could possibly come up with for a downloadable phone application. It's called the 'baby shaker' - I am not shocked by much but... wow. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30354894/ The plug- Absolutely repulsive...

Howdy I am starting my own carnivorous plant store. It will be mostly online (ebay, etc), but I will likely make some early sales at garage sales to start things off. I'm pretty new to all this and I need tips. Anyone have any advice? For starters, what should the name of my business be...

This video has moved me in a way nothing has in a while: http://www.peta.org/feat/ChineseFurFarms/index.asp I do not have a fundamental problem with wearing leather, fur, or any hide. But the removal of an animals hide while it is alive seems so obscenely sadistic, words fail me. Don't watch...

i present: Bear in Camp! Ken Howell "Bear in camp!" I yelled as I shucked my sleeping bag. Some camp -- each of us lay wherever he could find two trees to string his mosquito bar between. Still, it was our home on the trail, and nobody wanted to share it with the bear that was trying to...

I have a good sized N. x Marbled Dragon for trade. It's about 13" across from leaf tip to leaf tip. The ruler in the picture is laid across the plant for size comparison. I'm looking for other Nepenthes though I would like them to be smaller in size. Intermediates, highlanders, lowlanders...

Just got this plant about a week ago. It was in a grow tank with four 20W daylight bulbs. It started yellowing so now it has two bulbs 14 hours a day. A small piece of the pitcher turned black and I assumeed that this was because of a drop in humidity at some point, but when I looked at it...

I am having serious problems with grasshoppers eating my sarrs. Does anyone else have this problem? How do I stop them before they destroy my plants?
