Wierd plants

[Kirkscoastalcarnivores]

Okay, I have three really wierd cases with my plants, that all relate, First, i have a regular VFT, That keeps switching from a dente, to a regular

then i have a bromeliad, that when it doesn't get enough water, and it's hot outside, it reverts back to a carnivorous one, then finally, I have a red dragon, that goes back, and forth from a regular, to a red dragon

1. Can't answer that

2. Bromeliads don't just "switch" form carnivorous to non carnivorous. Which species of bromeliad is this? Only 3 have been known to actually absorb nutrients from dead bugs

3. Give a Red Dragon full sunlight, and you get a blood red VFT. Put a Red Dragon in shade, you get a green VFT. Same goes with Green Dragon VFTs

I have had dente flytraps have some traps with typical "teeth."

How does a bromeliad switch back and forth from carnivorous to non-carnivorous? What kind of brom is it?

As for the Red Dragon...a Red Dragon is a Red Dragon. Its a registered cultivar (I think its registered). The color will vary depending on genetics and light levels. A Red Dragon in low light will probably not be as red.

I'm pretty sure it's actually one of the few registered forms PAK.

well it's some form of Brochina, I think, thanks for the info on the red dragon (I guess i'll have to try in the son) and, the dente came in labeled "Sawtooth"

What the #$%*??

Something is seriously wrong with your plants dude (and it might be serously interesting as well!)

New species?

 

[Jason Wong]

maybe you're changing its environment too quickly (or the weather's changing too fast)?

Woohoo! 300posts at last! In a MONTH, that was quick...

 

[Spectabilis73]

Jason, one post is sufficient enough

And besides, post number doesnt matter at all... Who cares if I have 100 or 10,000 posts?

All this posting for nada! What a rip! I tell how can you get respect if your cp collection is no more then 10 plants in a ten gallon tank.

Believe you me if I hit 10,000 posts you will be hearing it from me! I am guessing about 10,000 times.

As for the redness I think it matter how much light they recieve during the day.
