terrarium

Hi all Built myself a medium sized terrarium about a month ago. So far it seems like the Dorsera I've got in there are loving it. With the exception of my little D. Adelae. For some reason it has turned super red almost black on the tips of it's new growth and produces no dew :-( The humidity...

Been researching what plants might be suitable for terrarium growing. Been reading older posts about them & thought I'd ask for some currant info. From what I can gather they are lowlander that doesn't get so big? Thanks Jim

These are very very young plants, as in first 1 or 2 carnivorous leaves. They were an eBay purchase, so I can't guarantee 100% that they are drosera Marston Dragon, but this is a giveaway, not a trade, so... free plants. The winner gets 15-20 of these seedlings (I might lose count, I aim for...

Hello, this is my first post here. I have received these Heliamphora on 21st April 2014, as I made a terrarium for them on that night. They look so healthy when I received, with bunch of roots and pitchers. Which I soak them with Trichoderma for 2 hrs 30 mins before potting. Here, I will post...

I used some dry ice to get rid of pesky ants.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e60o-dNfHdk

So I have a couple of nepenthes, but is feel that I can't reasonably provide the temperature drops they want, being that it will start to get too warm at night for nature to provide it for them anymore (highlander hybrid and ventricosa). So I was hoping to perhaps get a very small, portable...

I'm putting plants in a 260 gallon long aquarium(best deal ever.), using cat litterboxes to have a sphagnum mat along the bottom, a shaded area for a D. adelae(I've heard they like indirect/dappled, but bright, light. If I'm wrong, please correct) and four nepenthes in it(maxima poso, miranda...

Hi everyone, Recently started collection and growing CP's and stumbled onto this forum whilst doing research. Since I bought my Typical form D. Capensis at the nursery a few months back I've been hooked! I have even built my own medium sized terrarium that I use to propagate Drosera in now...

I'm new here & to CP in general. I have grown many types of plants for many years though & have a new love. I built a large 60X30X48" tall terrarium (it also has 10" of water in the bottom with fish etc) I'd like to include one or two lowland nepenthes in. It's a fairly new setup, the day temp...

I recently built a large paludarium (a terrarium with a water feature, I had never heard that word before not so long ago). It is 60X30X48" tall. I have nearly always had a fish tank & put my self through school working in a nursery, so always had a lot of plants but never any CP before. I'd...

Hey guys, you may have seen my post earlier asking if anyone was interested in donating plants for a nature education and conservation center. I'm happy to say that I did receive a few responses and so far one person was generous enough to send a handful of Drosera plans for each of the kids...

Hello, I've been growing CPs for a year or so and just started a terrarium about a month ago. I have 4 4 foot T5HO fluorescents (cool white) and also 2 2 foot T5 fluorescents (soft white) over two tanks containing: Drosera Multifada Extrema Drosera Capensis Alba Nepethens Miranda Nepenthes...

Hello Folks! My name is Chris, and I am a timelapse photographer. Rather than going for the iconic tortured tree in front of a starfield my interests have turned towards plants and studio work. I wanted to start this thread to document my progress, and hopefully get some tips on how to get...

This is my first CP project and first CPs. A Sarracenia hybrid, Cobra lily, Venus Fly Trap, Cape Sundew, Purple Pitcher x2, and a Sarracenia. Built this little thing myself, I think I should redo this so the water is flowing and I hate the brown moss :-( make it so dark and dead looking. It's...

Brand new to CPs. Hope to learn a lot here, building my first terrarium today, almost done. :banana2: I hope it's not to much of a fail :0o: Thnx

Hey Everyone: I somehow missed the flower on the stalk, but my Genlisea hispidula bloomed. I've taken a couple shots of the flower on the floor of the terrarium: I'm not entirely sure how I missed the bloom; it must be very short lived. I've been checking every morning and evening and...

First off, here is the almost finished waterfall: And the back side (ignore my dog): To highlight the basics, this is going into a 75 gal terrarium with a mix of CP's ranging from a N. glabrata to D. falconeri. Yes I realize two very different environments but just wait :) The base of the...

I live in the San Francisco bay area and was wondering what plants I could grow outdoors year round. I have a large terrarium that I am currently growing the majority of my plants in but I want to start growing as many as I can outdoors. Tell me what you suggest! Thanks!
