sphagnum

This is one of the new kids on the block. I used to look after a few hundred Limax. They enjoyed a nightly feed of birdseed, wholemeal bread and grated cheese (It was actually being put out for the birds but the Limax are opportunists). The last couple of years there has been an influx of Arion...

Okay, so I bought a new LED light- I've been doing some research and talking with folks at the indoor farming store (god bless you berkeley), but it was definitely an impulse buy. Still I think I did it right, though I'd appreciate some knowledgeable feedback. It's a four foot fixture for my...

I couldn't find too much on this.. First I was wondering, you need peat on the bottom to grow it? How much humidity does spag moss prefer And what watering method and how much h water would you suggest? Thank you Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

This is the species Utricularia bisquamata, it should have the distinction of the epithet "The Thug". Although looking like a little cutie and I mean tiny, it is only that if it's kept confined to its own pot by regular dead heading before any seed is produced. Just don't turn your back for too...

Went out with ScatterPants this past weekend to look for reported Drosera rotundifolia and Drosera anglica, as well as native Sphagnum species. We were unsuccesful in finding D. anglica, but found a bit of D. rotundifolia and plenty of Sphagnum squarrosum. D. rotundifolia & S. squarrosum...

Good morning, people of terraforums. I have a theory that I will most likely test soon, but I would like to discuss it here first. This March, when I repotted my deathbox vft's, I found that the long fiber sphagnum that they were originally planted in had decayed to the point of looking like...

This Darlingtonia stolon had decided that the corner of the tray was as good place to take up residence. Unfortunately that selected corner is against the door frame of the Darlingtonia House so new larger pitchers were in serious danger of damage. Contrary to my usual procedure, which would be...

Most Drosera can be easily and quickly propagated by leaf cutting, root cuttings, and flower scape cuttings. (A flower scape is just another words for the developing unfurling flower stalk as it emerges from your plant.) This will give you a mature plant faster than raising one from seed...

Hey everyone, I have a Miltassia Shelob 'The Weed'. It's the first orchid I ever bought and I've had it for several years. I've previously had it in straight orchid bark and watered it about once a weak. It would put out one or two new bulbs a year and spike once from each bulb. Of course...

So I started a little experiment on sowing sarracenia seeds around mid March. And now I think it's time to see the result I got. Species: Sarracenia leucophylla Time seeds harvested: mid-late Feb. Group 1: No stratification, sowed on sphagnum moss and perlite mix, kept in sealed bag. Germination...

This happy little chappy is a self set plant in the live sphagnum of the Darlingtonia 'Othello' tray. Traditionally the first of this species to flower annually. For those not familiar with the species. the colour on the above is a little washed out as is the norm with photographs of blue...

I was wondering those of you that have seen nepenthes in situ, how are the seedlings germinating and reaching maturity in the wild do you think? The reason I ask is because it seems I have to be quite diligent with my tiny seedlings and about every two or three weeks carefully remove any of the...

Yes this question does get asked often. Local nursery owner informed me that there were changes on the Peat Moss extraction/distribution market and the brand I used to get is not currently available. I tried several brands and generally found that whatever is sold in Lowes or HD (Premier or...

Hello, I'm currently trying to root a couple cuttings I purchased this past Saturday, I thought they were doing okay until I looked at them today. One of them (a mystery cutting) has started to turn brown at the middle of the stem, the stem is still firm but I can only imagine that it is some...

I suppose it's about time so I'll start with some recent pictures. Quite a few actually. Plants waking up outdoors. Some native Oregon sphagnum I'm growing with the outdoor plants, covered with netting to discourage those pesky birds. My crazy S. "Daina's Delight" growing more than 100...

Hello everyone. I have been in the chat and lurking around a bit so thought I'd finally put together an intro thread. I'm just starting to get into carnivores aside from some success with Nepenthes before and a failure with Darlingtonia outdoors over winter some years back. I have a 4ft T5...

CP Water Germination Experiment Phase 1 tropical & subtropical species, mostly Drosera No stratification When I decided to restart my CP collection I had some seeds stored in my refrigerator for up to 17 years. Some were from the ICPS seedbank and some were from my old collection in the mid to...

As i look through my greenhouse i have noticed that my Mirabilis var. Globosa is much paler than the rest of my plants. All the plants were moved into the greenhouse a few months ago and have adapted well. Although my "Viking" has grown by leaps and bounds, and is now begining to show signs of...

1) Opening Bid of $2. 2) Unided Utricularia orchidioides section, this was sent to me labeled as U. quelchii, but clearly something else is growing in there. I have no idea what the main plant is or if there is any quelchii in there or not. The only chance for an ID is for it to flower and...
