Hello all I live in NE Florida where I have a bunch of native CPs already. I've collected some that are growing on my land as well as recently purchased a few Sarrs to round out my collection of native Florida species. I'm wanting to pot them up so I can have them in my back yard to enjoy...

generally I consider it bad luck to show pics of new arrivals before acclimation but I figure there aren't very many in circulation as ep sold out pretty quick and only a percentage went to the usa I assume. I didn't catch it all in the frame but it is a nice specimen so far....I just hope the...

So, I have been interested in tissue culturing Nepenthes for awhile, but have never really had the facilities or skills to do it. I now have a tissue culture lab with available chemicals and PGR's that I work in and am experienced with sterile technique and media composition. The only thing I'm...

I have heard somewhere that some cp's die in certain mosses, I assume because of the moss degrading and causing spikes in certain chemicals or something. I dont know because I can't find info on it anywhere but common sense tells me that this problem is most likely more common in bog plants...

Is anyone familiar with the process of shipping terrariums? I'm actually more concerned with how to ship them pre-made. I would like to make some for family members, but don't necessarily want them to have to build it themselves upon receipt, especially if what I'm making for them is very...

Pictures! N.thor x campy N.campy x max N.(veitchii x lowii) x campy the N.ventrinermis flower stalks (i cut off the pollen balls to save for later..) ..and an upper N.tenuis Sarra minibog is coming along well :) Some of the pitchers are coming up gnarly, so I neem'd this past...

One question that comes up now and then by new members is how to embed photos into their posts. It is certainly more stunning visually to include photos in a message rather then just a link to the images. Here is a short illustrated guide. First you need an account on an image hosting site...

wondering if mimosa pudica or the other sensitive pant with yellow flowers NEED distilled water , idk the name of the yellow flower sensitive plant but looks very similar to mimosa . I assume its either Partridge Pea or Neptunia plena(aquatic sensitive) guess I wont know till it flowers or the...

While I am mainly interested in hybrids, N. veitchii is probably my favorite of the "pure species" and one I am very interested in growing successfully. A nursery only a couple miles away has several varieties available, N. veitchii "highland" from Bareo and Hose Mtns. locations, N. veitchii...

Does anyone have experience growing Utricularia blanchetti before? I received some a few months ago and it was in bloom, but now I can't find any stolons on the clump of moss it used to be in. Has this happened to anyone before? I read on Barry Rice's FAQ that this happens, but I would like some...

Hey Everyone: I'll be headed to St. Croix in March and wondered if anyone knew of any carnivorous plants native to the island. I tried a quick Google search, but didn't see anything mentioned. I'd assume a Utric and/or Ping would be on the menu, if any are there. If anyone knows anything...

Cant seem to be able to find a solid answer on lighting and dormancy I guess what im looking to find out how critical light is during winter dormancy. Im in ny and its not unusal to see subzero temperatures so year round outdoor growth is not possible. If a flytrap gets hit with a good frost...

So recently my significant other got into raising Poison Dart Frogs as pets. In that hobby, it is extremely taboo to keep frogs of different "morphs" together. Morphs are from different regions, and when they breed, the resulting progeny is "unpure." They worry about these getting back into the...

I got a good number of Orchidoides Utrics from Ron last year and while many did well, some did not enjoy my summer warmth. My U. quelchii was one of those. The plant dropped all of its leaves, and I've just kept the pot in my terrarium in the hopes that it may recover. I noticed these stringy...

I just got some greenhouse space at work, so I've started to grow Nepenthes again after taking a break for the better part of the decade. A nursery I've gotten plants from before is offering two crosses I'm interested in growing, N. truncata x merrilliana "Caesar", and N. "thorellii" x (truncata...

I'm a graduate student at Cornell University, and I have heard from school faculty and fellow students that there are several areas on and immediately adjacent to campus where Drosera rotundifolia, Sarracenia purpurea v. purpurea, and Pinguicula vulgaris populations are present. I live right...

Hi guys! I just received some seeds from John Brittnacher over at the ICPS, one of which is a packet of Drosophyllum. I have literally spent almost 10 solid hours over the weekend reading every last scrap of forum conversation about its germination, the ICPS grow guides, and every word written...

Hi, I have some black elephant ear plants that have been growing outside for the summer and now since its getting colder, I assume it is time to bring them inside. I have heard of overwintering them in the bulb form. Here they are right now: What should i do at this point. i live in NJ, winter...

I have been doing my research but I am still confused as to whether or not my growing conditions are okay.. I grow Nepenthes ventricosa by a south-east window..It receives some strong sunlight but only for a few hours (1 - 3 depending on the season or weather). I have two 20-watt T12s (2050...

I am primarily a lowland grower, but I've been looking into plants to adapt to my windowsill. I was thinking about a truncata, but I think I want to make my last plant-related investment before college to be in a plant that sparked my interest in CPs: N. hamata. There are two places I think I...
