Mato's Pic Thread.

Sorry for your troubles Mato...thats awful. I need more fans for my terrarium or i'm going to eventually have something similar happen.
 
Yeah, always gotta keep that air moving. This was really a much more minor problem than I originally thought. I probably didn't even need to cut the pitchers off at all, as the fungicide would have killed any mold.


On the bright side, I do have 4 pristine pitchers frozen in my fridge for future crafts. I'm thinking of making a shadow box. :bigthumpup:
 
Mato, in addition to the 15 minutes you are running your humidifier during the night, how long do yo urun it during the day? And do oyu run your fan 24/7 or only when the humidifier is on?
 
Thought I'd also show you guys the pitchers that were cut.

VB, I am essentially running the humidifier whenever the lights are on (6 a.m. to 6 p.m.), but I have decided to give it a break from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.. The fans are hooked up to two different timers: Fan 1 is on the same timer as the lights and Fan 2 is on at the same timer as the humidifier, so when the humidifier comes on in the middle of the night, it is blown by only one fan.

Really depends on the mold. if you have powdery mildew it can be a pain to get rid of. Fungicides dont kill it just control it. I hope thats not what you have.
 
Very beautiful plants. I really like the one you suspect is sib x talangensis. Nice cephalotus too.
