spagnum

I was taking a look at the container I have my Drosera intermedia "Cuba" and Sarracenia flava seedlings in, and noticed small sprouts of sphagnum moss starting. I have had this happen from dried long fiber sphagnum moss, but not from a 50/50 mix of peat moss and perlite. I am very happy to see...

Hi. I'm new to the Discussion Forums. At the begining of the summer,I got a small pot of Drosera adelea from osh. About a month ago, they outgrew the pot, so I transplanted them to 4 in. pots with a spagnum peat/long fibered spagnum/vermiculite/perlite mix,(Spelling?) and for the past...

As I previously wrote, my son brought home a VFT planted in the bottom of a 2 liter soda bottle. (the top serves as the lid of a "terrarium") It appears to be planted in about 2 inches of spagnum (looks really branchy) and perlite. Underneath rocks/some type of drainage material, about 3 inches...

I have tried twice to propagate my typical venus flytrap with no success. The white part that you pull off the bulb always rots on me when I put them in spagnum. I am going to try again in about a week when a good leaf grows on the outside of the plant. But this time I will probably just put the...

When I checked in on my plants yesterday, I found an enormous web forming over my entire plant. BOOHOO. This is the same plant that last week I found weird smelly goo growing in. What is going on here? Should I submerge the entire plant like you suggested someone else do? Do I run a risk of my...

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to plant Drosera Spathulata seeds? Should I try to get them out of the little black seed pods or plant the whole thing? Should I let the seeds sit for a while or plant them whenever? How deep in the dirt? Should I use a mix of Spagnum moss and sand? or...

Hi folks! I'm curious as to what (if anything) could be wrong with my ventricosa. I've had it since about Jan/Feb and it's only making pitchers about 1/2" tall but when I got it it had a few (dried out) pitchers that were about 3" tall on 10"+ leaves. This was a 3 foot long vine cutting which...

If I was to receive a loose roote ceph in the mail, what would I need to do to it to get in a pot with the maximum chance for it's survival. It will arrive in a bag filled with spagnum moss. Just at &#3625 each loose rooted just don't want to get it for me to stuff it up.

would it be possible to use any other soil besides spagnum and not kill the cps?
