Up for auction is a decent clump of several mature Stylidium debile, the frail triggerplant. But don't let the common name fool you. It refers to the delicate nature of the inflorescence, not the robustness of the plant. If you haven't yet tried growing this genus, S. debile is a good starter...

Cross-posted from my main picture thread. So I bought a Canon nifty fifty (Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II) and decided why not get a 58mm - 52mm reversing ring as well to try out some extreme macro photography. Man, am I impressed. The nifty fifty is a legendary lens because it has incredible glass for...

Sniff sniff.... got an email last night, now available.... so i jumped on it, paypal wouldnt accept order... sent email, got back reply..... can only order if ordering 250 euro worth of other plants So we talking a 400 euro min order. wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I want my fuzzy socks

I've seen some great examples of bogs -- raised, circulating, etc. I'm looking to build (or have built) something a little different: I prefer to grow my outdoor (greenhouse in the winter) CP in pots, despite all of the advice to the contrary from experienced friends. I don't have a good reason...

A while back I placed an order with a nursery in Texas. I don't like getting plants there but sometimes I do because what I'm looking for isn't available anywhere else. I ordered two plants. An N. bicalcarata giant Sarawak and an N. campanulata. The bical died on me. It started going down...

The following is from Ron's thread on his Cephs. A little background on my Ceph 'HG'. Purchased back in June 2005. It hardly grew, was certainly unhappy but I dragged my feet doing anything with the plant. Finally March 20, 2011 I re-potted the plant. I immediately could see the issue. Half...

:lol:this is a pretty funny coincidence. there seem to be a lot of Cp lovers at my school, me included( obviously) it started when my teacher asked for suggestions, and i suggested carnivores. now, our science lab window is home to a nepenthes spectabilis, adrosera capensis, and apinguicula...

We all have parts of our favorite Nepenthes that we really like. Spots of this one, pitcher shape of this one so on and so on. I thought that it might be interesting to see what everyone dream nepenthese would be. Below is some catorgies that I can think might be able to help describe our...

S. minor var. minor Ware Co, GA roadside ditch. These plants were fairly common-if I had to guess, I'd say there were at least 10,000 in the area: S. minor var. minor Ware Co, GA. clump: S. minor var. minor Ware Co, GA. There were amazing red clones too: S. minor var. minor...

Hi Terraforums. I purchased a plant not too long ago and when I received it, it turned out to be a bizarre tissue cultured, three - headed monster. Luckily, this plant seems to be pretty vigorous and after I immediately divided the three heads, I kept the largest growing stem for myself...

Hello from Djoni, Portland, Oregon area. I have never joined a forum before, so all new to me. I am hopelessly addicted to CPs, perhaps getting a little out of hand. My husband says I am turning into a carnivorous plant hoarder. About 7 years ago while wandering around a Saturday Market, I...

So I've been doing some thinking after talking to the GrowLab kids. My plants have started growing so much better since I started growing them in water (raised humidity). Well, I'm still getting burnt LFS so I wanted to dampen the light a bit. Plus I wanted to adopt a better growing style...

After returning from holiday for 2 weeks I noticed that my brother had let all of my plants dry out. The dews lost their dew but it returned within a couple of days after being watered, all but the D. Binata that looked particularly dry, I'll let the pictures do the talking.. It continued on a...

Hi Sarracenia folks! I've got a question for you. A friend just dropped off a couple new plants for me: a "scarlet belles" and a "gin goblin". What a nice surprise! But... I don't typically get Sarracenia this far into the growing season. They're in tiny little 3" pots that have to be raised...

Should be an awesome time. As always, there will be display plants, auctions, raffles, and of course, lots of vendors. Who's going? (Sorry if this is a duplicate thread, but I haven't seen anyone talking about this year's meeting.)

After reading Est's how-to and trading a few PMs I thought a circulating bog was quite feasible for me. Pictured is actually a reworked version of my first go. I learned quite a few things from trial and error: Problem 1: A completely open circulating system with just a pond pump and irrigation...

Ok I just been looking around at some different posts talking about shipping. See some people asking for $6 some asking for $6.20. Here is the deal. A small flat rate box ships anywhere for $5 bucks. Yes $5.20 if you pay at the post office, BUT when you buy your shipping label on paypal it...

Hi guys, Found a very nice new truncata pitcher hidden away in the tank. Firstly, this is the common one I see...peristome folded back... on most of the seedlings. However, the second seedlings pitchers always hang and they show a very nice peristome. Infact, if I may say so...looks like a...

I haven't seen this answered here or in FAQs I've found. So, silly question, when talking about mixing soils, all ratios are given by volume, right? Not by weight? Everything else from houseplants to bonsai, ratios are by dry volume, so I just wanted to make sure.
