winter

I picked up this plant at the Chicago Botanic Gardens at their orchid show on Sunday. The woman selling them was really busy, so I didnt get to ask about it, I just bought it and figured id learn to take care of it later... Little did I know that these apparently are notoriously difficult to get...

Hey all, I have been reading about d. Binata. I like them, but I've seen photos of specimens the size of a small bush and I do not have room for a sundew the size of a small bush in my house during winter. Is it possible that during winter I could trim the sundew down to its hibernaculum and...

Hi, I recently got some sarracenia seeds from a friend who has a bog tub in his backyard. He collected those seeds remained in the old flower about 5 days ago, which means they've spent their time outside through the whole winter. I'm wondering if I still have to put them in the fridge? can I...

Hello everyone. I was hoping you guys can help out with a few questions I have about my Nepenthes 'Lady Luck'. This is my first nepenthes. I ordered from a guy online, because the pitchers looked a really cool shade of red and this plant is supposed to do well indoors. Amazon says I ordered it...

Well, it's not quite death valley, but I did make it out to Anza Borrego park yesterday. It's been raining a lot this past winter, including yesterday (at least coastally) so all of the mountains are unbelievably green this year. Here's the view on the approach towards the desert from Desert...

Quick question- my cephalotus has been workin on a really nice pitcher consistently all through winter, but now with better light and temps, it seems like new growth is taking off and that one much-awaited lil guy has just about stalled. Is it likely ever to open? It even put out and opened a...

hi there! i live in florida and summer is approaching. ive been growing a number of my highland nepenthes and utricularia outside over the winter, but will need to start moving them somewhere cooler. im looking for ideas from people who live in similar hot climates that struggle to cool their...

Link to Short List Hey everyone! I live in upstate South Carolina. I've been growing plants for years and I like to look for a new challenge when the plants I have are growing well. I've got Peace Lilies, Spider plants, Snake plants, Philodendron, multiple succulents, and several orchids. I...

I've got that is 8" long. I don't have ideal conditions. It has produced 4 new plants this winter, too. [/URL][/IMG]

I have a project in mind for the spring and I wonder about how to set it up. We have a rather small yard with a good deal of shade, but we have a sunny patio area where I would like to situate a container bog. I intend to use a cedar planter box with a pond liner or maybe a plastic stock tank...

I have an Amorphophallus konjac that's been growing indoors. It has lasted in leaf stage through out the growing season and well into winter. Since winter is almost over, I was wondering, can it keep growing through another spring and summer? Or should I force it into dormancy somehow? I am...

I have to confess that this is one of my winter pastimes and it has had a resurgence this year. The fact that MrsG kept mentioning the numerous boxes of unpainted models in the attic etc and the largish collection of books on the Napoleonic Wars may have given a little impetus to my activity...

I've heard from some care guides (One specifically in mind) that the cultivar 'Titan' enters succulent growth in the summer, rather than in the winter. This seems really strange to me given the parentage (agnata x macrophylla), but I have increased the photoperiod in my growspace, and my 'Titan'...

I just received this but it had no ID and I have no idea what ping it might be. I notice it has no dew on leaves so I think they are winter non carnivorous leaves. Here are the photos: Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet Thank you for the help.

I recently bought a hookeriana and have been giving it a lowlander treatment. The only question I have is how fast does it grow during winter. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

Here's the modest set up I put together for a batch of highland seeds- never tried Nep seeds before, but a windfall literally put some in my lap at the SF conservatory of flowers a few months ago (I contacted the head of the bacps to alert the grower :) the light is a cheap LED on a 16 hour...

Hello, My name is Chris Duncan and I have been growing carnivorous plants for 5 years now. After a few deaths with the recent horrible winters I have actually gotten good at this. So far I have tried my hand at Flytraps, Nepenthes (lowland, highland, and hybrids), sarracenia, drosera(only...

These are a couple of native terrestrials that I potted and plunged this fall. In early January, no doubt due to our crazy weather, I noticed growth in the pot containing Platanthera flava and P. ciliaris, so I moved it and the second pot, containing a Cypripedium acaule into my cold room about...

*EDIT*Drosera, Nepenthes, and Orchids for trade I suppose before winter ends it would be a good time to trade some plants! I'm mainly looking for nepenthes that arent on my grow list or bulbophyllum orchids. For Trade .Drosera binata "Marston's Dragon" .Drosera filiformis Tracyi .Sarracenia...

Hi, I'm pretty new here! I bought a bag of soil, and i have dried Sphagnum moss, not live but blocks that swell as crazy when i wet them. I'm thinking, my Sarracenia which i have had for about 4 weeks seems to be a bit big for it's pot. Is it ok, or should i repot it into a bigger one, i...
