Beyond Beginner's Information: Insider's Insight
This was originally written for my friend whose interest is piqued in Carnivorous Plants. I've worked very hard on this, but I don't doubt that perhaps I've forgotten anything meaningful or gotten something wrong. Please correct, or add other...
A number of weeks ago I brought my Cephalotus in from outside, the largest of which had a flower stalk which had finished flowering. Being rather lazy, I decided to just pull the stalk out, rather than cut it, which resulted in me pulling out a length of rhizome, a pitcher and some leaves...
First the disclaimer..... There are as many methods as there are growers. Some grow beautiful helis using methods totally opposite from these. It is not my intention to imply that you must follow these recommendations to be successful. I present this guide as what "I"do and what "I" believe...

Happy birthday Kelly!
I am looking for an airpump, tubing, eggcrate, a powerful pond pump for the bog garden, pond pump tubing, trichoderma, and a tc starter kit which I really want!
For trade I have a 3 inch Hamata, Small Heliamphora, C. Big Boy cuttings etc. Please pm me for details if you are interested in...
Hi,
My H. pulchella (Amuri)has been a rather odd grower for me. Last year it produced just one pitcher before eventually producing another one this spring!
Them it produced a couple more before stopping and gradually started to die back. All the pitchers were brown & crispy but the base of the...
It was brought to my attention last night that one of my recent divions was being treated with fungicides. The grower was concnered about a white/grayish residue that would not wash off.
(An understandable concern I might add, and I am to blame for not foreseeing this issue)
Prior to shipment...
In years past, I have typically planted Cephalotus seed in regular composts (http://www.terraforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=121937&highlight=cephalotus+seed) and/or only briefly germinated them aseptically (in TC media). This time around, I have the opportunity of doing a bit of...
I've read that Ampac's Trichoderma isn't recommended for sundews because it will help some and harm others. I was searching for a sundew safe list of some sort but couldn't come up with anything. Who has tried T. atroviride with a sundew and found it helpful or harmful? Please list the name of...
After reading Est's how-to and trading a few PMs I thought a circulating bog was quite feasible for me. Pictured is actually a reworked version of my first go. I learned quite a few things from trial and error:
Problem 1: A completely open circulating system with just a pond pump and irrigation...

Hello,
This Heliamphora disease is caused by a phytopathogenic fungus (which I was able to identify during my molecular studies of Heliamphora by chance), which infects the vascular tissue of the centre of the plant, and can kill a...
Whatever it is, it grows extremely fast. 3 hours ago, there was no trace of this at all. Now..., well the pics show what I found. It's only growing in this one pot, and the media isn't bad, only about 3 months old ( bark mulch/perlite). I'm hoping it isn't harmful. I'm assuming it's just a...
While I usually keep all my plants well separated and labeled, I'm contemplating dropping a few Drosera in my Heli terras. I'm thinking of dropping some in the pots of my Heliamphora..unless you guys think I should drop some sphag in the terra itself and drop them in that, or just in entirely...
Following on from this post, below are details of my latest experiment.
My latest experiment, and the one that I least expect to succeed, is to try to grow a Cephalotus cutting in mycorrhiza and trichoderma inoculated sawdust using passive hydroponics.
This is an overview of the setup;
The...
this is three weeks after a cup of day old coffee was poured through the media, as with every other nep i have tried this on ( 5 in all ) every one has responded this way:0o:
i have also started a monthly regimen of trichoderma , on several neps and some of my cephs, so i can compare to others...
