Last year I stumbled across these cupcake carriers at the $ store. I said to myself HMM!! those look like they would hold 9-3" round pots, so I bought 1 for a buck (big spender). Took it home, dug out my 3" pots and lo and behold the pots fit when I put the top on. Since I make my own labels...
Hi everyone,
I have been busy building a polytunnel to move my current plants into and expand my collection as well. I bought a "kit" which I am putting together with a help of a friend.
Very excited about it as I can't wait to start using it!
I am also putting a fence around it, I have dogs...
My whole area tends to be a sort of honey hole where exotic plants grow wildly all over the place. It used to be a massive grass farm eons ago. Several years ago I became aware of a large patch of Giant Japanese Iris (japonica) that was growing in a ditch around the corner from me. I only notice...
Hello all,
I've been growing carnivorous plants for over 10 years. Most of that time I lived in Brooklyn where my growing area was limited to two small windowsills. I moved upstate a few years ago and my collection has grown exponentially. I am interested in all types of carnivorous plants but...
Hello all,
I have built my first terrarium and decided to put it on top of my 10 gallon fish tank. All the moss and plants are real except the lotus flowers which I made out of clay. The bridge was made out of popsicle sticks which I had to eat a lot of ice cream :0o:. I'm a beginner so feel...
Hi Everyone,
I have been given the opportunity to have a Polytunnel built in a family members yard as mine is way to small for a setup like this.
The tunnel will measure in at: 4 meter width and 8 meter length. I might divide it into two segments, one for none-carnivorous plants and one for...
This is an informational thread. To culture Cp, You will need an overview (next thread). A space to work and grow. I feel you will need a hepa hood. HEPA, HIGH, Efficiency, Particulate, Air. History on HEPA BEGINS IN 1942, US ARMY. It was used to develop Bio --weapons. Personaly, I believe the...
So I don't have a lot, but i'm super proud of my plants. I talk to them and tell them they are doing good. They seem to like it. Here it is:
Outdoor:
I have four S. purpureas, a couple i lost the tags for, so at this point i call them all purpureas. I have a S. Red throat, a couple Luecophylla...

Been talking about this a lot in chat, and I'm sure everyone there is more-or-less sick of hearing about it by now. Figured it was time to post some pics. ;)
Getting started (the linoleum didn't work out), but shows the space formerly occupied by my off-the-shelf plastic tent I had been using...
Just wanted to share some photos of my neps and their progression. I grow my plants under LEDs. The problem I struggle most with is low humidity but it seems like really bright light helps harden my plants and sphagnum (resist drought). Ive built a second grow box to house larger plants though...
Its the beginning of that time of year for me and ..im sure, a few others. WINTER!
Though Neps dnt go dormant i do find myself dealing with the dreaded Tiny leaf syndrom during these times when the Neps get brought inside while i seal the windows on the sunporch/greenhouse for my VFTs and Dews...
Another wonderful lens from an era past. This is a sweet but heavy lens Metal and glass construction with a built in lens hood. Enjoy photography the way it was meant to be.
Bidding starts at $20.00 and I will pay shipping within the US
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...
Belated sad news guys.. My one and only leopard gecko, Denver, passed away when i was at the last leg of my Asian tour :(
My dad and sister was 'looking out' for him while I was away and unfortunately they both sucked at it -__-
Here is his last photo I took before i left the next day...
Hello everyone I want to build a bog in north western Pennsylvania has anyone built on this far north or further. What plants could I put in it I now Venus flytraps won't make it through the winter could smeone help me
My wife has been on me for several months now; the ground cover on the side of the house is too overgrown – it has to go. I put it off, as men often do…. But, I took a couple of weeks of “vacation” and she was quite instant that something had to be done. So I borrowed my buddy’s truck and...
Hi all
Built myself a medium sized terrarium about a month ago. So far it seems like the Dorsera I've got in there are loving it.
With the exception of my little D. Adelae. For some reason it has turned super red almost black on the tips of it's new growth and produces no dew :-( The humidity...
Hi everyone,
Recently started collection and growing CP's and stumbled onto this forum whilst doing research.
Since I bought my Typical form D. Capensis at the nursery a few months back I've been hooked! I have even built my own medium sized terrarium that I use to propagate Drosera in now...
I'm new here & to CP in general. I have grown many types of plants for many years though & have a new love.
I built a large 60X30X48" tall terrarium (it also has 10" of water in the bottom with fish etc) I'd like to include one or two lowland nepenthes in. It's a fairly new setup, the day temp...
