winter

A pic of my naked jasmine, Jasminum nudiflorum. Too bad this winter has been so mild until now, it's already done blooming for the year. And the flowers look so nice against the snow......

So I don't have a lot, but i'm super proud of my plants. I talk to them and tell them they are doing good. They seem to like it. Here it is: Outdoor: I have four S. purpureas, a couple i lost the tags for, so at this point i call them all purpureas. I have a S. Red throat, a couple Luecophylla...

I am using a mini greenhouse to grow a variety of sarrs, vfts, dews, and pings. Below is the link to the greenhouse I am using. I took out the second shelf and have all my plants on the third shelf. I also plan to put a grow light on the top shelf. The problem I am having is that my new...

Hi folks. For the past several weeks I've been planning an indoor basement grow room. I created this thread to post pictures & document my progress with this build. Room Specs: The area is roughly 12 feet long x 7.5 feet wide. Ceiling height is about 78 inches, 72 inches underneath a couple...

Plants In The City #6 - Packing In Sarracenia For Winter 2015 Been awhile since I've had a chance to put together a video. Thought I'd show how I'm putting my Sarracenia to sleep for winter up here in Zone 7a. Enjoy! -BT https://youtu.be/_PlKjWNESfA

New England has had a few hot days recently, but I didn't think much of it until today. I looked at the bog tray and saw a forked leaf sundew unfurling a pair of new leaves. One of my VFTs appears to be doing the same. I cracked open a window and the room rapidly dropped to a reasonable dormancy...

Some mixed-seed VFT babies spending winter outside due to space issues in the garage. They seem to be doing well in the cold temps with overnight temps in the 20’s at times. Temps always warm up above freezing during the day though. The second pic is of the tray after the snow melted off the...

I'm interested in getting some stapeliae, but I'm not familiar of their care (or even succulent care for that matter!). It mostly seems that during the winter, they are "dormant", although I don't know if it is a true dormancy or if they just slow down their growth. Because of this, I should...

Hi Guys, I'm Paulo from Brazil I am returning to the hobby after a long winter!! I'd like to show you some pictures of my old collection. These photos are from the year 2009. Best Regards

I'm offering a single specimen of this eastern US native orchid. Plant is currently in a 4" round plastic nursery pot, but for shipping purposes it will be removed. I will send it bare root or with the loose media at the winner's discretion. Although it's flowers aren't very showy, the dark...

Well I finally did it. I've joined Terraforums. I was encouraged by a fellow CP grower, and have been reluctant. I normally hang out on OCPS which is a small friendly community of folks, who share many of my growing conditions. So, joining Terraforums feels a bit like a first trip to a big...

Last winter I got quite a lot Drosophyllum seeds and put them in my special pots. In early spring the started to germinate. The first eleven I planted in a pot with soil from a very poor sandy pine forest. Lots of roots included from Vaccinium vitis-idaea for possible mycorrhiza partners. From...

Hi there guys! I'm gonna buy a small N. truncata in two weeks and I want to have everything ready for it. I live in Argentina. Winter is 10c - 18c (sometimes it can get to 0c but thats rare) and summer is 15c-35c. My idea is to have it outdoors, under indirect sunlight. But I'm having second...

My porch CPs are going to sleep for the winter at home. But I set up a shelf in my office at work so I could continue enjoying D. paradoxa and some D. capensis "alba" and D. capillaris seedlings over the season. I'm using a simple clamp light with a HO CFL. Question - is the paradoxa supposed...

Ok...someone here was nice enough to trade me some non cp seeds for some cp seeds. im a noob if you don't know. I only have a couple neps and a purp. He sent me some sundew seeds and I really want this to work. He sent drosera intermedia, d spatulata (it looks like he wrote Beenak Victoria s...

Hey guys, I live on the coast of California in a USDA zone 10 region, the bay area. I'm curious as to what the best CPs to grow outdoors would be. Temp averages during the day are about low 70s during summer and high 50s/ low 60s during winter. Humidity tends to fluctuate drastically depending...

A number of my Pinguicula are in Winter growth now. It's exciting to see them change. P. macrophylla <a href="http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/companionablestatic/media/9dc9f4f8-1741-4cd5-b68b-c33583c88f32_zpsrbh2euto.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img...

Last summer, again, I put my P. emarginata "Eric Green" on the north side of the house outside. Again the plant is producing seed pods. I still didn't see a pollinator. Years ago before I tried putting it outside I tried selfing the flowers. That didn't work. Apologies if the picture is annoying...

Back in spring I got a ton of D. capensis from @dozer1028 (well, winter for him) to help spread the love so to speak. I had a giveaway at my college campus and many people started growing these fun carnivorous weeds, in fact every time I walk around campus, I'm bound to see someone's capensis on...

Hello all, This is my first time posting here so please forgive me if I'm posting this in the wrong place. I bought my first Nepenthes last spring, so this will be my first winter caring for it. I live in Charleston, SC, and it's just started getting into the 50s (one night it dipped into the...
