    saving Darlingtonia

    I just got one that was in a dry pot at lows for $1 Does it have hope of recovery? It's planted in pure sphagnum and I don't know if that is proper because I also got a dead ping that turned out to have 1 layer of peat and 1 layer of spagnum in it's pot. I've already rehydrated the little guy...

    Dark Green Sphagnum

    I added some plugs of live spagnum to my terrarium about 2 weeks ago. People complain about it being slow/hard to grow but mine grows very fast, and I love that. What I don't like, however, is the new growth on it. All the new growth is dark green, however it's still compact , so it is getting...

    N. rafflesiana (or hybrid)

    Hi, I know several S'pore growers bought the N. rafflesiana (or hybrid) from either SPA or another source. I just wondered how they are all growing. After repotting mine in pure spagnum moss and repositioned it to a slightly shadier position (it still receives some sun) it has been growing...

    unknown sundew

    I don't currently have any sundew so you can imagine my surprise when I saw this sundew growing in a pot of spagnum moss. The spagnum moss came from a pot of sarracenia about 5 to 6 months ago. The moss dried out completely a month or so ago and I thought it had died but it revived after...

    Silica sand

    Anyone have any clues where I could pick up some? Or any alternative that would hold the same value for mixing with Spagnum moss?

    What is it?

    I have three plants that came up out of spagnum moss. I had the moss for a month when the sprouts started to appear. They looked like grass seedlings, but very small and the leaves do not blade. They remain rounded and long. Small brown, rounded seed shells could be seen on them when they first...

    S. rubra

    My rubra started it's new growth for this season a few weeks ago and the first pitcher is beautiful. All the new ones since then are starting out normally and then curving down past the edges of the pot until they end up looking like "curly q's" hanging down the sides of the pot. There is no...

    Hello, It's been a month since I've had a terrarium - an aquarium with a ping, drosera and nep, in a mix of 70% sphagnum peat moss and 30% gross sand, growing in their pots. I changed pots after I bought them, I keep most of the previous soil not to harm the roots, and added spagnum + sand...

    Sunburn

    My 8" N. gracilis showed what I think is sunburn after a bright day recently, and I would like your opinions as to whether or not it was sunburn. It (and a few other spps. that showed the same signs, not not so severly) has nice moist soil, in a greenhouse with not much shade, and is in a new...

    A lot of talk about mites in recent posts

    Hi everyone!! There've been a lot of posts about mites recently and so I was wondering if this is what the damage looks like?? This is the first plant that got it: (n. xiphiodes x n. mikei) Someone else told me that light exposure can cause this? Then it spread to this one... (gymnamphora)...
