Ps3isawesome's photo thread

Ps3isawesome's photo thread (Updated 3/11/2016)

I have an urge to share and want to consolidate this type of posts.

I'm very happy with my set up so I've decided to stick to this for a while or at least until Summer comes.

I am now able to drop the night time temperature in the HL terrarium down to 54 from 77 with an average of 67.

The outdoor set up has worked really well too.

Future updates to come.

How are you dropping your HL temperatures if you dont mind me asking?

Great plants!
 
Thank you ^_^

I close the door and open the window to this room around 8PM. I then close the window before I go to bed. The door stays closed the whole time so the heater don't get in there.

I'd leave the window open through out the night but my alarm system requires that window closed so........ men. Other wise, it'll prob go down even further.

But the cold air is enough to cool this room down to the 50's.

I want to try that, but my tent is right up against the window so I cant open it without moving the whole tent xD When I get growlights and move the tent, Ill give that a shot!

Its worth noting that wont work in summer though.

Looking good! What ping is that in the front left? Next to the white pot.
 
thanks base drifter, it's pinguicula laueana
 
What species of Nepenthes is that very dark red one in your terrarium? Closest to the glass.

the one that's next to the Heliamphora is a Nepenthes veitchii x platychila
 
It has awesome foilage!

it's a tough little grower. I threw it outside during summer (high 90s and humidity in the low 20s) and it produced new pitchers. But it's def liking this home better.

Just wanted to update on some of my plants. Hope everyone enjoy. This is prob less than 1/2 of my collection. I got tired of taking pictures........ ^_^

Some of this plants were just ravaged by a recent California rain, so there's still recovering.

King Henry - The traps near the soil is super cute
IMG_2863_zps4c77a3d7.jpg


S. 'Judith Hindle' = my very first Sarracenia
IMG_2861_zps4e8fc5c1.jpg


S. 'Adrian Slack' x 'Judith Hindle' - Luckily it produced one trap and a new division at the bottom.
IMG_2860_zps2876ac47.jpg


S. catesbaei "Sunrise" x flava var. rugelii - the name could be wrong because I won this from my first giveaway. This plant got invaded by ants and the S. won
IMG_2859_zps0cdc5e91.jpg


Sarracenia mysterious random seedlings
IMG_2862_zpsa2de805d.jpg


D. venusta - From a giveaway, glad it's giving me tons of seeds and new growth points. I think flowering took much of its energy and now that it's stopped, it's resuming growth
IMG_2853_zpsaabecfcb.jpg


IMG_2854_zpsc4bdd2bf.jpg


D. aliciae - It was pretty much dead for the first 2 months. It's coming back strong with tons of D. capensis around the pot.
IMG_2855_zpsff1d0aaa.jpg


D. hamiltonii - This little guy has doubled in size after I sprinkled close to dead ants from the Sarracenia pitchers
IMG_2856_zps77f3c2a7.jpg


D. capensis "Alba" and regular seedlings - Giveaway from Victoria and it's my "coral reef" pot
IMG_2857_zpse2f400d4.jpg


D. capensis and red - the white background was a mistake since you can't really see the dew, oh well
IMG_2858_zpscbf49bad.jpg


H. heterodoxa - Very first new pitcher
IMG_2864_zps7df2e185.jpg


P. 'Tina' - the new pink is really pretty
IMG_2847_zpscf14fb17.jpg


P. 'Pirouette' - It's really amazing how pings change color in winter, love the pink though
IMG_2846_zpse701ef7a.jpg


P. laueana - the leafs are finally cleaner now that it's moved inside
IMG_2845_zps6d4453b4.jpg


N. veitchii x platychila - the biggest pitcher grew when this plant was outside
IMG_2841_zpsa5a88e50.jpg


N. "Caesarion" - it came with the smaller pitcher, the other pitchers developed inside the terrarium and on a windowsill.
IMG_2840_zpseb5cd4f4.jpg


N. muluensis x lowii - this plant was really cute because the tendril buried itself inside the sphagnum when it was outdoors and it developed this beautiful pitcher
IMG_2836_zpsfc2ce0e0.jpg

IMG_2839_zps42528fbe.jpg


N. talangensis - it never developed a pitcher outdoors, and now that it's inside a terrarium 4 new growth point has developed ^_^
IMG_2831_zps2090ac8a.jpg

IMG_2829_zpsed662b1b.jpg


N. maxima x spectabilis - This is my strongest growing smaller size Nepenthes

Nice collection and photos! I wish I could stop obsessing over Sarracenia long enough to broaden the species I collect a lil. N. maxima x spectabilis is incredible.

I made a promise back in Nov that I'll buy plants again only if I survive this winter and next summer. I kind of under estimated the amount of work and time in the beginning. I thought of focusing on specific species but just couldn't resist on seeing how other CPlants trap insects

Well.... most of my Sarracenias, Flytraps, and some other sundews are in dormancy. I posted my pings, helis, and some more Nepenthes last time so I'll focus on my other plants this time. My cephalotus is making a recovery so it'll be shown next time but it's doing amazing.

Nepenthes Caesarion - Since arrival, it's produced two new pitchers. The third one is quite a size jump compared to the other two
IMG_2991_zps0edbb8e0.jpg


Nepenthes Veitchii x Platychila - This was one of the plants that was also fed with ants when outside. I really like the spikes and coloring on its newest pitcher.
IMG_3003_zps415a54d1.jpg


nepenthes Talangensis - This are my first pitchers, it gave me two at a time with two more on the way. The pitchers are tubby and running with nectar.
IMG_3004_zps55ebd9c9.jpg

IMG_3006_zps78cf18c7.jpg

IMG_3007_zps759886de.jpg


Drosera Binata - I won this from a giveaway. It came with only a few growth points and it's exploded as expected. Plenty of little tiny new growths too!
IMG_3012_zpsd4e8a3e0.jpg

IMG_3015_zpsbd360523.jpg


Drosera Capensis red - It's gotten a lot taller since I got it. Hopefully it flowers soon
IMG_3018_zpsef9f6338.jpg


Drosera Capensis - My first Drosera, rescued from local nursery and it was completely dying. Now it's made a HUGE comeback. Second flower stalk is here
IMG_3046_zps644e8b4c.jpg


Drosera Spatulata - It's really cute how they clump together.
IMG_3044_zpsf2336366.jpg


Drosera Aliciae - I counted 9 capensis seedlings. This plant has also made a huge recovery. It was burnt for a while.
IMG_3035_zps4a282ffb.jpg

IMG_3043_zps2950888b.jpg


Drosera Venusta - Not only is this plant giving me two new little plants, it's flowering AGAIN!!! It can't stop!

In August, it will be my second year of growing cps and I can't wait to see how big they're gonna get!

Here's my outdoor collection waking up from dormancy


My drosera collection that I've moved outside


Here are my indoor pings and I also repotted them into an all mineral mix to see if it'd help them grow.


My ceph that got attacked by powder mildew and has since recovered nicely.


Here is my indoor nepenthes
