    D. whittakeri mixed fortunes

    Hi I have been growing D. whittakeri for 12 years now, but this winter has been a problem. Of my 4 potted plants one small one has rotted and died, a second one with two growing points (2 tubers) has been heavily deformed, and the second growing point came away in my hand as rotted! Here is a...

    Amorphophallus titanum dieback!

    Hi I got a small Amorphophallus titanum tuber a few weeks back. It had a 5 inch shoot which was going a bit brown when I got it. Over the last few weeks it has gone completely brown and dry at the tip and is working its way down! And the rest of the leaf has a stressed wrinkled look. It was...

    Tropical aristolochia overwintering

    Winter is on the way, so I dug up my Aristolochia littoralis [= elegans] and A. fimbriata today and put them in pots. I grew both from seeds (off eBay). Last winter they were still small and I just placed their pots in a cool greenhouse. This past summer was the first time I planted them out in...

    Utricularia jamesoniana

    Just wanted to say that so far, the plant is proving very ammenable to my culture on a moist to wet medium. Caution has been advised though, although the growth is excellent, the plant might not form its characteristic tubers that will carry it through dormancy. Based on this, I get the feeling...

    Seed for trade

    Hi all, I have a few seed packets I'd like to trade with anybody that may be interested. I'm basically interested in seed of other Drosera species but you can offer anything else and I may be interested (except Sarras, they take up too much space!). Here's the list- Drosera admirabilis- 5...

    U. reniformis care

    I am very interested in growing this bladderwort since I heard it was one of the easier epiphytes and I love the stolons (looks like something right out of a fantasy story). Oh!.... and the flowers. But before I do I need some cultivation info. Mostly general care things like soil mix and...

    Two voodoo lilys down

    This is very irritating! Two of my three awesome Sauromatum vensoum (see larrys post) have fell over. One I simply moved from one end of teh patio to the other (about six feet). When I set it down the stem had already bent itself in a "n" shape and there it remains, now the stem has gotten...

    Voodoo lily bloom

    Here's some pics of my Sauromatum venosum (Voodoo Lily) that just bloomed.  The tip started getting taller and taller.  Then something poked out of the protective sheath.  Instead of green, it was purple.  I was fully expecting it to develop a leaf since I didn't think the tuber was big enough...

    Tuberous Time Coming

    Yes, the nights are getting chilly here in upstate New York bring good germination of the South African wintergrowing species, and a good indication that now is the time to get the Australian tuberous species going again. I have returned my tuberous species to cultivation: watering the pots that...

    Tubers

    Erm right I just ordered a D. auriculata and it is being sent as a tuber. Now I have never had a sundew in tuber form before and I am little worried about planting this time of year and rotting off. Any tips, cause I live in the UK and there is a whole reverse seasons thing because the plant is...

    Hi, I have a tuberous Drosera which I can't identify. - It has a single erect, undiveded stem (about 15cm tall, maybe it can get bigger) - it didn't produce a basal rosette - the petioles are about 8-10mm long and arranged one "left", followed by one "right" (I don't know the English word for...

    Darlingtonia question

    I just transplanted my darlingtonia. It had loads of dead growth on it that I trimmed away. In the middle of it all, there was a long healthy looking root that seemed to come from the plant. on the root there was one swelled part that looked almost like a tuber. I am not very experienced with...
