tiny

I figured I'd post a pic of some of the "pretty weeds" that flourish in my bogs, the containers and the in-ground. The red one in the center came as a hitchhiker with a Sarr from Meadowview a few years back. It gets small 5 petal yellow flowers in the summer and turns scarlet in the fall. The...

I've been attempting to start new plants of 'Gigantea', 'Aphrodite' and 'Alfred Lau 13' and man they are growing VERY SLOWLY. Is that normal? Under a T5 light about 3-4 inches away. anything I could do to speed things up even a tiny bit? I'm relativly new to starting these. Thanks for any...

Due to the generous nature of many of the TF members and with summer almost over its about the right time for some giveaways. So what are most people looking for? Keep in mind everything I'm growing is currently growing in 65-75 temps, maybe a little higher or lower. Utricularia...

I've been watching these tiny bugs for over a month now, they're all over both of my big plant pot setups. They're so tiny that you have to blow on the soil to see them move. I put some small pieces of mosquito dunk's in the water trays about 6 days ago, no change yet. They're not gnats or...

This morning I saw a little tiny black bug climbing on this leaf and when i looked closer i think it ate my leaf should i get a pesticide?

I've been searching the forum and the interwebz to no avail... I bought a nice Sarracenia "Dana's Delight" last summer. It grew in full sun on a fire escape along with some VFTs and a S. purpurea. Everything went dormant in due course and spent the winter on a windowsill in an unheated...

I recently got my first Utricularia, a bisquamata. It has now produced one flower for me! Man I had NO IDEA just how small the flowers are! Top to bottom it's about 5 mm! You almost need a microscope to really see the thing! Trying to get a good photo of it. NOT EASY so far.

Hey Folks, Before I decided to post and ask for help I've attempted to do lots of searching, homework, and cannot come up with an explanation for this. About a week ago I woke up one morning and went in to check on my plants (I have my collection on a grow rack. Mainly sub-tropical Drosera...

This video shows a tiny juvenile Central American harvestmen (Acromares vittatum) very rapidly devouring a chironomid midge (like a mosquito that doesn’t bite). I shot this video last weekend on my kitchen table using 3 tabletop LCD lamps. Unfortunately I didn't get the colour balance quite...

I'm having an issue with several of my vfts. The plants are growing in a mixture of peat moss, perlite and sand. They get at least 8 hours of sunlight a day and are watered with distilled water, not too much water, just a bit in the bottom of the saucer and they never dry out. It's hard to tell...

Hi there, A recently set up outdoor tank has yielded seven or more no-id aquatic utric plants. A recent thus far non-successful attempt to sprout some other aquatic seeds has made me wonder if I had some tiny seed hitch-hikers. Of something else. Or who knows? Maybe netting out prey from...

I'm wanting to do a giveaway in the near future for some extra D. natalensis & P. esseriana (light pink) that I have. Problem is, I'm not sure how large I should let these guys grow before offering them. A couple of the largest D. natalensis are 1/2". Am I correct that it would be best to wait...

This trade is for D. intermedia seeds. The plant was sold to me labaled as "Hardy Sundew, Drosera intermedia". I have had it for 18 months. It has flowered profusely in that time, frequently dropping seed in the LFS substrate of the terrarium where it lives, resulting in herds of volunteers...

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...

So, thanks to my limited space for growing things, but my love of nepenthes anyways, I feel sometimes the smaller varieties get ignored in favor of the giant ones, but many of them have pretty traps too. So I have made it my mission that every year I am going to purchase 1 tiny nepenthes species...

Hi Folks, As some of you may know I got my first CP's in April and they're doing fairly well. Plenty of light, water, good temps and decent humidity. I use the water tray method and had quite a shock this morning... I've done a lot of research and most places I've found say "clean the water...

So I have this Utricularia reneformis that I picked up earlier last year that came in a 4" pot. It was fairly well filling the pot when it arrived and over time I would tip it and pop the "root ball" out to look at the traps and the progression of growth. About half a year ago I noticed, during...

Hello all. As some of you may know from my other recent thread, I have recently completed my second tour of duty in the Army and I am now home after eight years away. Now that I am back, I am once again managing my grandmother's acreage for her, acreage that is prime habitat for CPs. The...

Hey all, So I have a bunch of OP Sarracenia seedlings. I'm putting up 20-30 Sarracenia plants. These are all OP seedlings that range from 1-2 years old and come from a variety of great growers and collections (including my own) so you're sure to get a great variety of plants. Because of the age...

Just about three years ago a fellow TF'er gifted me with a tiny baby hamata. here is one of "Hammy's" pitchers today.
