Hello, i saw your post on the trade post and was wondering if you end up having left over D adalae I would be interested in getting one. However, I don't have anything to trade since I'm pretty new to the hobby. anyways, thank you for your time

So my two bogs in the backyard seem to be doing okay. However, the top layer of LFS seems to constantly dry out with the weather here in southern california. I have been misting the dried out parts every morning. Is this a bad idea? is it not needed? keep in mind I have little no no humidity...

So the seeds have finished their 4 weeks of cold stratification and I just sprinkled all of them in selected areas on my mini bogs with labels to mark them. My question is how long will it take for the seeds to germinate? does it depend on the species? seeds include: spatulata, intermedia...

ahh thank you! but do they really affect other plants? i was going to sow them in a mini bog.. would this be a mistake?

uhh no.

4?

I know not many of you will know the answer to this question but hopefully someone will. Does Drosera "Indica" require a cold stratification for seed preparation or not?

Which Nepenthes species are probably the easiest to grow under any conditions. Such as capensis of nepenthes. I'm trying to find a nep that can do well in very low to no humidity

I am wondering if using dead LFS as a planting medium by itself is the same as using live LFS.. I wonder this because I planted my new drosera prolifera in 100% dead LFS and I'm worried that it might choke out and die.. However, I saw a post on here saying to use 100% LFS for D prolifera.. do...

Lol yeah I sent mine a week ago and from where I live it should have arrived in San Diego within a day or two.

So I heard about using kelp fertilizer on my two bogs to get better results.. So I wanted to ask what popular brands are okay to use.. are all kelp fertilizers okay to use? The only place I have found that carries this is a local nursery called green thumb international and they have it in...

so only stratify filliformis florida red, intermedia, and capillaris? or should I just stratisfy all of them for 4 weeks? also doesn't filliformis need a longer stratification than the others?

Yeah that's exactly what it looks like. I decided to just remove it all together.. and I just totally replanted my two minibogs which took an hour.. no wonder a bunch of my plants died last year.. beginners failure.. those employees at the local nursery lied to me.I think I will pick up some...

well i was planning on putting the filliformis red in the fridge for 2 months.. but I was told I didn't need to do that for the rest of them?

So I made the mistake of buying and useing this Hawathian Green Moss as a top layer for my CPs instead of LFS. Is this okay to use as a top layer? Does it benefit the plants in any way besides looking nice? Am going to buy LFS tommarow.. but am wondering if I can leave the large amount of green...
