terrarium

Well, I've had this guy (Heliamphora heterodoxa) for a months now and nothing happened. As expected since it was sitting on a windowsill. I finally decided to build a terrarium and it's only the third day and I noticed just now there is new growth!! I sorta screeched and started jumping with...

I noticed that most website recommend that you give nepenthes at least a 14-16 hours light cycle in order to grow them properly. With that information, I ponder if anyone has exposed nepenthes to a more intense light cycle ? Say 20-24 hours a day , with little to no night cycle ? I am currently...

It's not so much that I'm bored with the other members of Sarraceniaceae. It's more like a Pokémon-ish desire to "catchem all." As such, behold my first Heliamphora. At this early point I have H. minor H. heterodoxa H. elongata H. nutans' Czech' An unknown Heliamphora hybrid I have them in a...

I recently acquired a leaky 2.6 gallon Top Fin aquarium (can't say no to free containers) and am wondering if it can be put to use somehow. I've searched far and wide on the web but all I find is information on nano planted tanks and the like. My first thought was some species of Cyricosmus...

I bought what was supposed to a dwarf but looks like it is not. It's in my display terrarium & just keeps getting bigger & bigger. I need the mini version. Hoping to find a one from a individual that knows it is the dwarf form. Here's a link to pix of mine...

With all that's in the realm of possibility, how do you grow your plants? Terrarium, greenhouse, bog garden, windowsill? Here's a link showing all my setups: https://www.behance.net/natehollis

Just divided up my adelae, kinda did a hackjob on some of the roots though. They should be fine as long as they went back in the terrarium though, right? Also, found what seems to be a rosetted sundew hanging out with them, at the very least it didn't have the massive root system that the lance...

Hi All I need some advice please - I have some seedlings in a terrarium which id like to move into the greenhouse. what should I be considering or keeping in mind with the move? They are growing in sealed bags so the humidity is very high - but I would keep them in the bags in the GH. im...

Awaiting my new shipment of plants, I have been locked up in the house, quietly anticipating the shipment of a very prized plant. These are the events leading up to my greatest achievement in a 4 year conquest to finally acquire N. Hamata. The day started off with a cool breeze wafting in...

A while back on another forum I read a thread about a person "doing everything wrong with Darlingtonia." Essentially, he obtained a death cube cobra from Lowe's, and, not knowing what to do with it, placed it in a sealed glass jar terrarium in Miracle Grow potting mix. He watered by spraying tap...

N. Densiflora x Ventricosa question Hello everyone, a few years ago i had to give up all my plants due to a move but the itch has started again and i just ordered an N. densiflora x ventricosa which should be arriving late this coming week. Just wondering if anyone else has any experience with...

I've been on this forum a couple of time but I suppose it's time for a somewhat formal introduction... So, my name is Danny and I'm addicted to carnivorous plants, especially nepenthes. I used to be a normal biology student with a small interested in carnivorous plants ( I grew a Venus Fly trap...

So, I'm planning to purchase the Exo Terra Monsoon RS400 Rainfall System for my terrarium so it can mist my plants when I'm in class and lab all day and I was wondering if anyone has use this device before for their highland terrarium ? I'm also planning to remove the filter on it because I'm...

I'm sure lots of us are at university right now, and still growing some very nice plants. I just moved in, so I was wondering if you could share some of your setups. In particular where do you keep soil and repot without getting bits of sphagnum everywhere? Also, does anyone have a terrarium...

Now hopefully if I've done this right you'll be able to click on the above link and my terrarium will appear :) Apologies if it doesn't....the pic is sideways though, still got to figure how to rotate my photos:blush:

Hello, thought I'd introduce myself and say hello. My interests are carnivorous plants, especially Nepenthes and terrarium growing which I've been doing for a few years, so I'm looking forward to learning lots on here and perhaps sharing a few of my own experiences. :) Best wishes Matwag

I have a few sundews that either are not doing well in my condition or that I have way to many of. Here to spread them around. They are: Adelae giant (all spoken for) none left Hamiltonii (one) spatulata (lots) venusta (few) Binata (lots) Keep in mind that a few of these plants will need some...

I have a small plant in a 2.5 x 2.5 inch pot outside, it gets about 14 hours of light each day and is in a tray of rainwater. The tops of the pitchers are turning a dusty brown color and feel a bit dry, even though they only just grew. Also, something looks like it was munching one one of them...

Hey all, If you're going out to see Guardians of the Galaxy some time this weekend (which you should, it's pretty awesome), keep an eye out for when they first visit "The Collector." He has a big, foggy terrarium with several nepenthes hanging inside. You never get a close-up view, but it...

Hey everyone! I'm new here, so hopefully I don't stuff up the picture uploads/attaching. I grow highland and intermediate Nepenthes in Melbourne, Aus, in a variety of conditions including outdoor, indoor, terrarium and unheated greenhouse. I'm about to share some pictures of my favorites, so...
