Hi all,
Recently got into indoor plants; nothing special just a couple of orchids, cacti etc. I want to delve deeper into some more exotic plants and CP's are possible the most intresting to me. I have two main questions though (sorry if they have already been asked) the first being are there...
Quick background:
1. I live in a split foyer home, the basement door is kinda in the middle if the back lower level but further away from the bedroom side of the upper level.
2. My side of the bed, under which my shoes are kept, is furthest from the bedroom door.
3. One of my cats, who shall...
My D. dichrosepala gemmae are about ready to harvest, there will likely be 10-20 gemmae.
D. dichrosepala is a very easy species of pygmy dew to grow, Ive been growing mine for about a year now inside of my bedroom with no supplemental humidity (thats probably around 20% humidity), they have...
All,
I recently made the conversion from my basic baker's rack set up to a grow tent. I made the decision due to limited space in the rack and wanting to have more control over the environment as a means to grow more difficult species. Hopefully this post may help others who are interested in...
The Carnivorous Plantation in southern Alabama has an opening for a grower/operations manager. Compensation is competetive salary and free use of 1 bedroom apartment on site. The candidate will be responsible for greenhouse and field growth of Sarracenia and Nepenthes. Tissue culture experience...
In about 1968, when I was living in Westminster, California. I was an avid organic gardener, In the back yard, I had an organic vegetable garden, not very large (about 10' x 40'), but it contained a large variety of plants. I had two bee hives atop a grape arbor. I also kept a rooster in one...
Well, I am finally done with second rounds of midterms in school and have some brain capacity to deal with winter care for my plants.
It is indeed too cold for my nepenthes for winter as the outdoor temperature in my area hovers around 40's.
Honestly, I can't find egg crates anywhere. except...
Heres my Nepenthes Ventricosa after 3 weeks in my care :) I just bought some Sphagnum Moss off Ebay, so thats one of the main new things. I actually need some help with the moss. It was harvested off of the sellers land, and it came with a boatload of other vegetation including dead leaves, dead...
I grew Nepenthes and Heliamphora reasonably well with a basement setup in St. Louis for about 5 years. After moving to an apartment in Texas, my plants suffered and either died off or I gave them away. Now I'm moving to a house (still in Texas) where I'll have more room. I really want to get a...
Hi my name is Elliott I am 14 years old. I have been growing Nepenthes for six months . I grow my Nepenthes in a HL grow chamber in my bedroom. I have done hydroponics in the past and ill love to try again in the future when I have enough time. By joining the forum i would like to gain more...
After a long period of non-growth due to shock, my Brocchinia reducta is starting to grow again, my lovely plant loves the sun so I had it in my mother's bedroom in a west facing window and watered the urn, fed it a couple of bugs a month, the plant was growing beautifully, vigorous and quite...
My bedroom used to be an old garage. Anyways, I heard some rustling noises while lying in bed a few nights ago and my first thought was that I had a furry intruder! I set up some traps and I was right. I decided to feed my truncata. I've fed it a mouse once before and it digested everything but...
Let me proceed this by saying I am a horrible forum poster. But I am going to give this a go, to chronicle my new 10x12HFGH.
I have wanted a greenhoing use for years (probably close to 12). I have always been held back by a lack of usable space to install a GH. About a week ago I finally...
It is quite odd, I have spent most of my life terrified of spiders/arachnids until a few weeks ago, when I decided to handle a pink toe Tarantula... Since then ive become hooked, my first T as seen in my previous thread was a G. porteri, or Chilean Rose Hair.... Shortly after, I picked up a few...
As anyone who has been in chat with me knows, the only thing guaranteed to send me screaming from te room like a little girl is a cockroach. Well I guess I'm going to have to change my saying. My ten year old cousin is a champion in junior showmanship and obedience trials with her dog, yet...
Hi everybody! I have a P. moctezumae that I purchased online (along with a P. moranensis) that is not doing well. The P. moranensis is doing okay, (although it is not thriving by any means) but the moctezumae is actively dying. It arrived with three one inch long skinny leaves. The one leaf...
Hi, my name is Matt and I live near SF,CA. I've been growing CP's for a while now. I am a member of the ICPS and the local BACPS. I've been reading old and new posts on this forum for about two months now. I got hooked on CP's as I was driving to the beach one day. I saw the sign for CC and the...
I got some of these from a member at the OCPS forums, they came with baseballish sized tubers and were beginning to produce flowers.
And one of the flowers opened today. Now, I have these on my bedroom windowsill, otherwise I would not be complaining. But waking up to the smell of rotting flesh...

I set up 2 containers for the ping collection and put them on the grow rack outside, underneath a container of Sarracenias. I also set up 1 ½ containers for the pygmy sundews. Then I set up the 10 gallon tank for the U. gibba / Aldrovanda. It doesn’t look like the U. gibba did too well...
I was having trouble deciding where to put my VFTs nowadays, since last year they lived on my windowsill (classic nono) and then they moved into my mum's greenhouse which got them riddled with spidermites. With a dog running around, outside on the ground was not an option, so I decided to put...
