Does anyone else get these guys inside their pitchers? If my ID is correct these guys are predatorial mites and are beneficial since they can feed on thrips. I only ask because it seems hit or miss...

Thank you Carlton, I believe my timer does 30 minute intervals so I'll do 30 minutes a week. Could you suggest a time to start decreasing the light time? Now perhaps?

Quick and easy question. With temperature sundews like pygmy sundews that are grown under artificial lighting; how quickly should I shorten their photoperiod to trigger gemmae production? Once the...

This is a seed grown hybrid from Bruce Lee. Root system has packed in this 1 gallon pot and it's just now showing some good sized leaf jumps. Growing conditions are outside in the Florida sunshine...

Hopefully the final update for this thread. With multiple messages back and forth with Adnedarn I've decided that I need something with Imidacloprid in it. From the old threads I've read most people...

Thank you for the clarification! I was doing some more inspections today and I noticed a huge decline in adult mealy but plenty of web/egg spots and little guys. What's new now is that I snipped off...

For clarity purposes are you saying I shouldn't add any more insecticides since I did my Ortho spray and give it some time to see how it handles them or don't combine Orthene with my spray but do...

Oh my goodness that makes more sense once you described drenching them.. I'd picture unpot - scrub - dip - repot. I've already seen a decrease in activity but I'm not getting any excitement two days...

I flipped over the 3 pots I've seen mealy bugs on and I wasn't able to find anything on the roots and those pots were root bound so I was seeing a lot. Perhaps a good sign? Can the mealy bugs I see...

Andrew thank you so much for that detailed write up! As of right now I've only been able to find evidence of them on 3 plants but I do grow in a very confined area of 3 trays and pots jammed...

I was doing my normal routine check for the day and noticed my Fledgling was littered with them. I had a few strays on two other pots but I read around the forums and clipped off dead...

I'll enter my D. Intermedia Alba!

Certainly not Moorei. Looks like x catesbaei?

I'll submit my flowering D. Burmannii 'Humpty Doo'

Now those are gorgeous! I was debating on setting up another light inside for my South Africa dews and the pings. I'm wondering if the light they're getting from the windowsill isn't enough? May...

Yours look great! I understand they're all different species but it's strange to me how far behind these two are compared to the others.

The picture of it colored up is the same day I got it and potted it up but they were stuck in transit for an extra two days. I'm not sure about the moving it to a shadier spot. As of now that...

Sadly, no I do not have any east windows in my apartment. Substrate is wet but the tray gets to dry out before I fill it again, maybe I should stop letting it dry out before I fill it up again? They...

Hey all,

At the start of Spring most of my Pings were looking great and I was finally seeing some carnivorous growth from most of them expect my Cyclosecta and Rotundiflora. At first, it seemed...

Ah that helps a lot! Indeed everything is sticky expect the Reticulata. Since it's still not producing carnivorous leafs I'm still going to go a bit between watering after the tray evaporates.

I have not touched a leaf. I’m assuming I should touch and look for mucus coming off of it?

I have tried growing Carurlea many years ago and failed but I will say I didn’t put forth as much effort...

Everything seems to be going well, got some new growth from all of them. I'm watering slightly every two weeks to encourage them to wake up. I'm still unsure if they're producing carnivorous leafs...

Substrate is a mix 1:1 mix of peat, perlite, pumice, and sand. Thanks for the timeline idea of when to start watering! These things sure like it seriously dry. It's kind of hard to get that...
