terrarium

Hi all, I have a terrarium in my room containing a mixture of carnivorous plants. Recently the ants invaded the house and a few found my Nepenthes, now the pitchers are full of ants! When there was only a few I didn't mind, however their numbers are increasing. The pitchers are regularly...

Hello, CP Growers! I've been wanting to make an account time, but didn't have the time to.:-( But now I have.:-D I only grow highland nepenthes and some droseras though. My Growlist: Nepenthes Hamata Nepethens Ampullaria Nepenthes Attenboroughii Nepenthes Truncata "Pasian" Nepenthes DeRooses...

Hi guys. I have a small "terrarium" (more of a wood box, really) with my Nepenthes there. The terrarium is 2x2x2 feet. I have 2 CFL bulbs (27w and 32W, the lumen output is nowhere to be seen), 1x13W T5 (740 lumen) and 1x36W PLL (1770 lumen). All the lights are 6500k. They are inside the...

Well, apropos of a recent thread, I decided to start a new one here that is on-topic, of that off-topic discussion :jester: When I was first starting out, in all the instructions I found, the proverbial 'they' described a certain potting medium, certain humidity, a grow setup, which plants...

Hi everyone, I have really been hit hard this summer with pests on my CPs. I have found Mealybugs, Aphids and what I think is some kind of Mite. I have not been able to identify it yet as it is very small. I do know that it is red/orange in color. So I am doing some research on methods to get...

I stumbled across this site a few weeks ago and have been reading the forums ever since. Finally thought I'd join and quit lurking. I'm new to houseplants and ornamentals in general (about a year of dedicated experience), but I've been an avid gardener for the past decade, with a focus on...

Hi guys! I was searching the web for terrarium forums and this was the first thing that popped up. Since I like carnivorous plants I decided to join the forum anyways, even though it wasn't quite the type of forum I was looking for. I was looking for terrariums in general, you know? But hey...

Hi all, I am an experienced dart frog keeper who is somewhat new to CPs. I had a magnificent N. purpurea in a big glass vase for a while, but it eventually outgrew it, got cramped and failed to thrive. I have this wonderful 27 gallon cube sitting empty in my living room. I don't want to set...

I need to find out if it will be safe for my dart frogs if I add some Drosera and Pinguicula. I have about 18 species of those and I am thinking of adding them to the terrarium. Just want to know your expert opinion on this. Thanks

My grow list is very short :(. Terrarium: 7 D. Muscipula 'Red Dragon' 2. D. Capensis typical (one of these, I'm not actually sure of, because under its current lighting, the leaves are turning pink, which I didn't think was normal for D. Capensis) 2 D. 'Floating' Some strange spiky grass...

The other day I was working with my small 50 gallon terrarium that I use to house my small Lowland plants, however It got me wondering.. What do others use to grow these plants? I know a few growers here have some truly massive plants, such as Nepenthes Rafflesiana And Nepenthes Bicalcarata and...

It's some type of moss. I don't know whether to trust it or not, because I seem to have about 3 different types cropping up in different quadrants of my terrarium. This one is springing up from a bit of dry sphagnum that I buried in the soil around the roots of my D. Floating. Of course, the...

Greetings. I'm currently working on a small terrarium with a few plants (Cephalotus, Drosera, and a Mexican Pinguicula). However, I've been having difficulty finding the exact pots I need. I need something somewhat tall for the long root system of the Cephalotus, but I can't find the exact pots...

Hey guys, Long time no see! So, I had originally planned to pull my VFTs out of my terrarium for their dormancy, but (and please correct me if I'm wrong) They seem to be starting their dormancy already. I'll post pics of the plant that is furthest along in what I think it's doing, later. I'll...

About two weeks ago, I upgraded my lowland tank to larger T5H0 lights As the King tiger was beginning to demand a larger terrarium and better light. The Attenboroughii seedlings have taken a liking to the environment too, and they Are already growing larger. However, this poses a question...

Greetings. A few years ago, I had a large 20 gallon terrarium in my room under a CFL and grew a wide selection of CPs (Cephalotus, Heliamphora, Drosera, Nepenthes, etc). However, I was planning on moving out of state and wanted to focus on a smaller collection so I sold almost all the plants and...

I currently have a terrarium setup for highland nepenthes. Everything grows really well for the most part. Although I do not use electronic AC, I think I should get into it (later here). I have various highland plants, however I can confirm that even some of the pickiest plants are doing well...

A few months ago,when my bicalc outgrew the small terrarium, I set it up in one that was larger, but had less ventilation. I made the mistake of setting the pot in the water, and proceeded to neglect my poor nep for several months:nono:. (I also made the mistake of setting the terrarium up in a...

Im looking for a smallish orchid to go in my terrarium and jewel orchids appear very small and pretty…any advice? thanks

Decided to start a new pic thread since it's been awhile since I updated pics here (although regulars in chat will have probably seen most of them at one point or another). Guess we'll start with the indoor stuff: Half of the large terrarium, full of Sarr seedlings from seed sown last year...
