I should reword: where I currently live, I have no place that I could convert to a proper environment that isn't already taken up by plants and animals (and my family probably would not smile on me...

Due to expense and relative lack of success with some species, I've cut back to only having a few...but this is one new arrival set that I hope will stick around and breed well: Creobroter sp.,...

A few others have joined the group (the last, as currently planned), and they may or may not show up here as I manage to get other pics (though posts will eventually appear about all of them on my...

Rebounding after a very, very rough arrival...

And still trying to figure the secret...

Don't think I have anywhere that stays quite warm enough all year for them, so I'm just living vicariously...

Ten days in an nobody? Let's get rolling...

As rarely as this seems to like blooming for me, might as well enter it while...

My truncata x spectabilis is still only about 2" across...I NEED it to get to that size already! And the burb x platy to at least approach making uppers...such a lovely cross.

Well, if this is an opportunity to post a link: www.carltoncarnivores.com is my site. Because my plants and animals are my life, every cent made there is made to support them, or myself to be able to...

Best guess is N. stenophylla or at least something in that complex.

It's actually tokaiensis, not spatulata (said nursery still hasn't changed their labels for that one). As prolific as it is, I would maybe repot a few into a larger container, and throw away the...

D. tokaiensis and burmannii. D. sessilifolia has to be ID'ed using a combination of several traits, including flower color, leaf shape, ascending or vertical inflorescence, size, etc.

it does grow well, but still waiting for mine to flower...
Side note: the "small form" is the only reniformis there is. The larger version is U. cornigera.

I was pretty sure "Black Knight" was an EP ramispina x ventricosa cross...who took the name for that plant, and what's the cross?

Halfway through and nobody yet...we'll start with something that originated with thez_yo then:

Might enter one in the POTM shortly...

You'll find unless you're growing a plant that was used to high humidity in its previous location, or a species that absolutely requires it (that doesn't cover most of the common ones found in garden...

When I replaced most of my T8's with LED, the change in distance didn't fry anything, just dramatically increased red color for a few months before they all settled in (still far more colored than...

Fruit flies are not useful as flytrap food, unless you're feeding seedlings. They're small enough to climb out of the traps when they close, and even if contained don't provide enough worth, possibly...

I'm seeing no difference between the two images other than exposure effects on pitcher color, if you're trying to suggest they're different. Still the same N. "ventrata" clone.
Lighting,...

If designing for lowland plants, my personal first suggestion would be: forget a terrarium, invest in a greenhouse. The very few lowlanders that stay small are generally finicky to grow, and even the...

Most CP seeds are designed for surface germination, meaning many of them expect or will do better with light.

So many flowers!
