I failed to do my due diligence and research what to do before my plants arrived, but today I only received a small batch (a D. filiformis, D. intermedia and a P. primuliflora). The former two are definitely dormant, but the primuliflora is flowering. Next week I'll be receiving a big order of...

Hello all, the New England Carnivorous Plant Society will be holding or 2015 show at a new venue for the 1st time in over 10 Years ! This years show will be held at Tower Hill Botanical Garden in Bolton Massachusetts on September 5th and 6th. We've got plenty of vendor space space available to...

I was just given a bottle of a product www.inocucor.com/products/ (thanks to Ray at First Rays Orchids)containing a mix of microbes that supposedly have multiple benefits for plants. The benefit which I'm most interested in is a claim to help prevent damping off and other fungal issues. I'd...

Now that I'm actively working to restore my CP collection, I'm giving serious thought, as to which Drosera to include first, in my newly regrowing collection. Of course, I've already started with Drosera regia 'Big Easy', Drosera schizandra, Drosera prolifera, and Drosera adelae. Through the...

A little over a year ago I bought a Dracula vampira orchid at an Orchid Show in San Francisco. It came from the SF Orchid Society Booth, and did not come with a clone name. It was in bloom, and I managed to break off the spike before the end of the day. Since Draculas are successive bloomers...

Hi guys. I have an Amorphophallus Konjac bulb I’ve been growing for maybe the past 3 years and just noticed it is starting to bloom for the first time! But it seems really, really early….I normally have it starting to sprout just a tiny leaf tip around March or April and by the time the weather...

My pygmy sundews are still producing gemmae in profusion, but I've planted up all the space I can spare for them. There is only one solution, it's time for a giveaway! To receive gemmae I will ask for a small shipping fee (Christmas has wiped me out for now). I have gemmae from D. pulchella, D...

Background Info: My girlfriend had 4 citrus plants growing indoors. She has no outside space except for 4 small window boxes. She has had the 4 citrus plants for about a year and four months. I got them for her from a mail order catalogue. Three plants came together, unmarked, in one pot and...

Hey all... My wife said I can turn our 3 season porch into a greenhouse. It has sliding glass doors on 3 sides and a wood framed roof. I would remove the roof leaving only the framing, install Polycarbonate on the roof joist. Add fans and a furnace. It has a concrete floor but I think I would...

Does anyone know which genera of CPs are most likely to survive being in transit for a long time (e.g. a week)? My first guess would be Utricularia, since they don't take up that much space but are there any others? This is for an overseas order that I might be making.

Over Thanksgiving, I spent time with family in Tallahassee FL (zone 8b). My cousin's husband is leaving her with 2 kids and no job. She is in need of some extra money and asked me what profitable plants she might grow in her yard. She has a couple acres of yard space to work with, some of...

I have a huge collection of Sarracenia. Many are endangered, many are rare, many are from Meadowview Biological Research Station and expensive to buy. Two things have happened in my collection: 1) They keep reproducing, so I have run out of space 2) I am moving from the Midwest to Arizona and am...

Hi! I just finished deflasking and potting up a bunch of orchids, and after filling all the allocated space I find myself with quite a few smaller seedlings left over. I'll say 10, because there are at least that many I have no question are viable. They're a Catasetum type hybrid, genus...

Recorded temperature through the day. Although, the average temperature is around 73 during the day and in the 60's at night. High - 77 Low - 66 Humidity High - 100 (Although the humidity seems to drop 10% every 3 hours or so. It starts to drop when the light turns on. Had I not spray the tank...

I recently acquired a leaky 2.6 gallon Top Fin aquarium (can't say no to free containers) and am wondering if it can be put to use somehow. I've searched far and wide on the web but all I find is information on nano planted tanks and the like. My first thought was some species of Cyricosmus...

I don't post often in this section, but I have something that I could use help in ID'ing. I found this guy running through my greenhouse inside a few days ago, ridiculously quick mover and I only managed to catch him after he ran into the space inside a cardboard box. I squished him because I...

Jeremiah Harris and I decided to check out the Harvard Museum of Natural History yesterday. There is a vast mineral collection on display as well as an array of stunning fossils, skeletons and Victorian era taxidermy specimens from around the world. In this diverse collection of natural wonders...

Hey guys and gals, I REALLY need a Socal area plant sitter for a few nepenthes and sarracenia for me for a few months (probably about 6) starting ASAP. I don't have a ton of plants, and most of my really rare and expensive one's will be shipped to a few friends of mine, but I still have a medium...

It's a neat little plant but I do not have the space for it. It should be a nice addition to someone's collection Far as trades go I do not very have much I am looking for but here goes: n. sumatrana n. campanulata n. kamptonia n. bical orange n. bical red x orange N. Viking #19 x (maxima x...

The reason I am parting with this is I am expected a new bical very soon....a marudi so they are practically the same and I will need the space. This is one of my first nepenthes which fit and grew inside a small *** fish tank at one time. lol. Far as trades go I do not very have much I am...
