    Mini Bog of Sarracenias Have Brown Tips

    Planted these at the beginning of the season and haven't had one mature pitcher from any of them. All either deform or brown at the tip. Plants get 12+ hours of direct sunlight and are in standing r/o water. Some pitchers are deformed (looks like aphid damage) could they also be causing the...

    Aphid infestation?

    Looks like one of my Sarracenia pots has been hit with an aphid infestation, but before I do anything I'd just like to confirm that it is aphids, and also ask about recommended treatments. First time encountering them. Pot is also host to some D. capensis and VFTs, but keeping the Sarras is...

    CP-safe emulsifier for neem oil solution (aphid busting)

    I'm developing a fairly serious aphid problem in a few of my trays (Drosera mostly at this point), and want to try a topical application of Neem oil per this article on Grow Sundews. However, I'm having trouble getting the neem oil to emulsify. The label suggests using 2 tsp of dish soap per...

    Does D. occidentalis x pulchella self-seed?

    Hello all, I bought a trio of this hybrid from D'Amato in 2005, and it grew like wildfire. It was irresistibly pretty, so I put it in a wide 14 inch pot and let the thing carpet it over a period of 7 years. It never really seemed to produce gemmae regularly or often. When it did, gemmae were...

    Aphid Pheromones Product Marketed?

    Does such a product exist? I couldn't find anything when I Googled it. Neem Oil does seem to work, but over a period of a few weeks.

    Bonsai Help?

    So I have a bonsai tree I received in October for my birthday. I believe it is a Japanese elm and I am sort of enamored with it. I have, however, been trying to not think about it much as I don't need another plant addiction: Sarracenia and orchids are enough for now. As such, I am avoiding...

    Little green aphid (pic)

    Last weekend I was out collecting green aphids to feed to some baby mantids. I discovered that every time I walked through a patch of Scotch broom I ended-up with numerous of the little bugs aphids scattered around on my shirt. So I would just crash through the plants, pick off the aphids, and...

    Aphid Control Question

    I noticed the other day that the tip of an immature pitcher on one of my purps had a little kink in it. Upon closer inspection I saw a couple of aphids hiding in it which I removed. I closely inspected the plant, found a few more which I also manually removed. That plant was pretty far along in...

    Aphids in my terrarium. How to fix this?

    Howdy. I suddenly have an aphid infestation (must have gotten it from some new plants I ordered back in November) in my indoor terrarium. They are mostly going for my Heliamphora but I suspect everything in my terrarium may have a bite or two. What is the best aphid control I can use in an...

    ant receiving a drop of honeydew from an aphid (photo)

    Hi all, My latest blog is about photographing ants...which are everything that a macro photographer looks for: they are small (pretty much a prerequisite for macro), attractive (some of them at least) and best of all, they do interesting things. The photo below is a western thatching ant...

    Mystery aquatic bug

    I found an interesting critter today. I won't say from who I got it, just in case it's a pest. I doubt it, though. Alas, it is effectively microscopic, and I cannot take a picture of it; I haven't the necessary tools. (I wish I did!) I tried to look it up, but Google just brought up aphids on...

    Aphid help?

    I just spent about 2 hours plucking aphids off my sundew today, am I wasting my time? Is it even possible to just simply pick off all of the aphids? I noticed they like to hide near the flower stalk and underside of leaves, but I'm sure they are else where also. I'm considering the 'dunk'...

    What pest, specifically

    I am baffled by a pest that shows up in my pots time and again. Have looked it up every time and I know that's amazing but it looks like I am the only person in the world who has seen it! No ID. I think I can get rid of it, but I REALLY want to learn what it is, more out of heightened...

    a few pics

    Snapped a few pics in the greenhouse this morning as I was checking on things. Had a nasty aphid infestation a few weeks back. They're mostly eradicated now, but they sure left their mark on some of the pitchers. Sarracenia 'Odyssey' x leucophylla by aarongunnar, on Flickr 'Odyssey' x...

    A few pics of my humble collection - picture intensive

    Hey all - thought I might share a few pics! A few shots of some of my pings that seem to be doing very well: P. esseriana (thanks SDCPs!) P. 'Sethos' (thanks SDCPs!!) P. moctezumae (made quite a nice recovery after a near-death experience) And the rest: N. ventricosa. Sorry for the...
