sphagnum

Sup all, i want to build a small box type construction to put outside, and increase humidity within it my problem is, last time i tried this, i ended up frying everything inside of the box, and it seems to me, the only way to counter that would be to ventilate it really well.. which would also...

Sup all, the person i bought my live sphagnum from over a year ago said i could fertilise it with diluted fertiliser, and it really helped. he didn't go into any detail about what fertilisers to use... what dilutions, and how much to apply though, so, has anyone else tried doing this with any...

I have always bought distilled water from the groceries store to water all my plants up until last year when I got a tds meter and found my tap water was around 70 ppm. However I still use distilled water for pots that have live sphagnum in them since I've read that live sphag is very sensitive...

I've observed that sphagnum moss always seems to grow better with nepenthes, than with other plants such as drosera. I was at california carnivores on Saturday and talked to Peter D' amato and asked him whether or not he found the same thing, and he said that he noticed the same thing. Sphagnum...

I cooked these 3 sundews under a light, and I also recently transplanted them bare root from %100 peat to 100% sphagnum. There is no dew on them, and hasn't been for 2 weeks! Can they not handle as much light as the VFTs?

I have had a Nepenthese Ventrata for 6 years now. For several years it struggles and didn't grow much. It started vining a few year ago, and a year ago I trimmed off some tiny sucker vines and some dying yellowed ones, and it took off. It has 3 vines, the tallest is 4 feet. I have it propped up...

Hi all, How does one top dress pots with live sphagnum moss? Every time I try to do it, the heads just shrivel up even though the media is moist. Thanks.

I've done some reading about these guys, and they seem to like temps between 60-65 at night and 75-85 during the day, with high humidity, indirect light, decent airflow, and are best grown mounted, but well drained media like live sphagnum works too, right? Assuming the rest of this is correct...

VFT / Dionea Muscipula: Typical 2 small Drosera: Nepenthes: Non-Carnivorous: Bog companions: Cacti: Epiphyllum oxypetalum “orchid cactus" 2 Orchids: Looking for: I know some of these are unlikely, but hey, .. it doesn't hurt to try, right? Byblis – anything Cephalotus – Seeds...

And I'm not *entirely* sure what I'm doing, but I'm trying! I wanted plants in my room at work, but it has no windows. I ultimately decided on a terrarium with artificial lighting, and carnivorous plants because they always seemed really awesome. 10 gallon terrarium with some sort of tropical...

New mini Akai Ryu parent. I am interested in other (mini) carnivorous plants that will complement this sub-species in an arrangement and that can handle in the desert. Currently the plant has been on a south windowsill for a week. Plan is to put it outside on an Eastern balcony to receive 4-5...

Just spent the strangest hour and a half. I trimmed and re-potted plants that were neither orchids or carnivorous. I mean my hands were touching actual potting soil, not "media" or sphagnum. It, it, it just didn't feel normal. What's worse, now I don't know where to put them come cold weather...

Any orchids that would do well in either pure sphagnum or sphagnum and orchid bark out there? Temps are about 70-80 during the day in the summer, 57-65 at night. In the winter it's 48-55 at night, and 65 during the day. Not sure about humidity, but there are several trays of moss in the...

Hi folks. I have a problem with some of my sundews. Unfortunatly i do not have any pics i can share due to a NDS i had to sign, i might be able to share them in private message. I am thinking i might have a fungus issue. Some of my sundews have the tips of thier leaves turning brown. This...

This is part of my larger project to renovate my grow shelf once I move into my new apartment in a few weeks. I've been wanting to put together a highland terrarium for awhile now. With the Wistuba group order at flytrapcare forums coming up and me being worried about the few highland plants...

Hey folks. After doing lots of reading I've decided to try my hand first at an outdoor container bog. As I've mentioned in previous posts I'm in Texas, zone 9, near Houston. I plan to do mostly sarracenia with a couple VFT, sundews, bladderwort, and even a cobra lily if one would survive for...

I was wondering if anyone has experience treating with peroxide on sphagnum specifically and if they have a ratio that worked for them. the fungus isnt overwhelming the moss but I'd like to get it under control before it does. the moss was in an undrained tray with a humidity dome on it when it...

Hello all! I haven't been very active on this forum, so this will be my first official contribution! So yesterday I recieved 10 Drosera Regia seeds from Petar Kostov. To those of you who do not know of Petar, he's a skilled grower from Bulgaria who specializes in Regia and Drosophyllum (in...

Hi all, I was wondering if it was okay to try and root nepenthes cuttings in live sphagnum moss. Thanks.

Most of my plants are doing well in my Orchidioides setup, but I'm not sure about my Utricularia geminiloba. When I got it, it had quite a few healthy-looking leaves. However now there are only two leaves (one of which is new). One of the leaves is covered by the moss. Is geminiloba more...
