The plants are inside in a grow tent . They were not on the Porch.

Yeah, that’s probably the smart thing.

Is it ok to use bugs that died of insecticide to feed my nepenthes and other carnivorous plants? I just cleaned our screened in porch after being on vacation. There were a number of dead bugs on the porch. I assume they died of insecticide because the pest control guys spray a few times a year...

This (maxima x talangensis) x hamata BE-3777 is growing fast now that it is in the grow tent. Even in the South Carolina summer, it seemed slow. The peristome starts out a pale red, then turns a nice jet black. The teeth are a nice touch.

Neither can I.

I just purchased a N Raff, medium sized. How long does it take to get the size of your Raff var alata? That is a good looking pitcher.

This is an orchid I’ve been growing for about 5 years. It’s a reliable bloomer. About a month or so ago I decided to divide it. At the time there was no indication of flower buds. As soon as I divided it both plants sent up spikes. Both spikes are going to have 4 flowers in bloom at the same...
