terrarium

Ok, I need some critiquing of my thought process here. I know that evaporative cooling (swamp cooler) needs low humidity to reduce the temperature; that it can only reduce the air to the wet bulb temperature, which is a deviation of the current temperature and humidity. For example, areas with...

Hello all, I've been growing carnivorous plants for over 10 years. Most of that time I lived in Brooklyn where my growing area was limited to two small windowsills. I moved upstate a few years ago and my collection has grown exponentially. I am interested in all types of carnivorous plants but...

Hello all, I have built my first terrarium and decided to put it on top of my 10 gallon fish tank. All the moss and plants are real except the lotus flowers which I made out of clay. The bridge was made out of popsicle sticks which I had to eat a lot of ice cream :0o:. I'm a beginner so feel...

Hey, terraforums. I want to mount a small bromeliad to some cork bark and add it to my gecko terrarium. Are they safe for crested geckos? Can bromeliads handle distilled water? I know that tillandsia can't take distilled water. Would a mounted bromeliad be ok being sprayed with distilled water...

Good morning, terraforums. Yesterday I bought a baby N. Ventricosa from Lowe's and made a little terrarium for it to help maintain humidity. But I read online that ventricosa will tolerate low humidity, but mines a baby and it looks like it just started producing full pitchers. I even saw a...

So I'm just getting into Nepenthes and other carnivorous plants in my vivariums. My first attempts were growing N.ampullaria from seeds, and growing sundews on a moss drip wall. So far I've had success. Now I have a N.campanulata on order. I'm debating putting it in a terrarium with frogs where...

Haven't been paying much attention to my LL terrarium as I should lately. Was surprised to find this in there today: Nepenthes mirabilis flowering by Jerabudragoness, on Flickr

hey all! It's been quite a long time since I have posted anything and quite a lot has happened. I lost most of my already small collection of CPs over the year due to negligence on my part (things just dry up so quickly in hot/dry weather, and my cat likes to drink all the water out of my...

Hey all. Recently I noticed one of my nepenthes ampullaria pitchers had some brown spots on it. I didn't think much of it (I assumed maybe it was the way that pitcher developed) until I took a closer look at the pitchers of the basals and saw that one of them also has the same brown spots. It...

I wanted to use some moss for my terrarium so I collected a sample from around my property in the woods. I think there is 3 species here but I don't know and are they any good for cp's like sundews and maybe cephs? Location: USA, North Carolina Thanks Chris Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is there anything I should know? I've read around here that T5 bulbs put out a lot of heat, but I've also read they are very cool and can be put much closer to plants? I'm wondering what I will need to change when I make this switch, and I am finding a lot of contradictory information. Input...

Hi! I'm a new member here. I do not keep any carnivorous plants, but I have several other gardening projects. I wish to build a setup for growing Sphagnum spp. mosses along with a few other acid bog plants in a fish tank enclosure. My current idea is to just to fill the bottom couple of inches...

Hello, I have my first 2 dionaeas for about 1 month, I had them in a windowsill but recieved poor light and high temperatures, then, since they traps didn't colour at all, I'm thinking having them in a terrarium, in my room. Is it possible to fully replace sunlight with artificial light ? what...

Hi all, I can take a few divisions off my mother plant of this species if anyone is interested. It should do well in intermediate to highland Nep conditions and isn't a huge space eater. I'd be interested in swapping for CPs, tropical blueberries, orchids, interesting new terrarium material...

I don't have much in the way of CP, though I enjoy growing the few I have and enjoy reading about them on this forum. Here's the little list: Nepenthes maxima x2 Sarracenia psittacina S. purpurea S. leucophylla S. flava S. alata Dionaea muscipula Drosera multifida extrema many various mini...

Hi, I have a terrarium with pings in it. They are doing well. I have had a t5 fixture over them but just got a new one and changed from a coralife to an ATI fixture. I want to order more bulbs. Any recommendation on the type of bulb I should get? Particularly what wavelength is best for their...

For years I've admired how John Yates grows his sphagnum. Literately everything he touches turns into sphag. If you look at this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKh9FxTjnNo you can see that he his sphagnum grows even on benches. In his video he explains how his misters come on every few...
