    Inch Worms in my Apple Trees

    I was fertilizing and mulching my young apple trees yesterday. I found inch worms trying to eat the leaves. My VFT had a few new traps that just opened. . . I think the other inch worms understand now. I totally felt like Neegan off TWD. :banana2:

    Jello Shots!....(for the plants, not you)

    I wanted to wait before I said anything concrete, but as I ended up trading away most of my test subjects, it looks like things are on hold for awhile until the next batch of seedlings are large enough, and anyone who knows me, knows that I can be impatient with certain things... This began...

    Fertilizing Drosera

    I guess I use to much fertilizer, but I always get negative results when I fertilize my Drosera. I was using a 150ppm urea-free orchid fertilizer sprayed on the leaves, but it resulted in deformed leaves. I recently tried some beta pellets, but that appears to have been a bit much as well. Is...

    Pinguicula reticulata - 2015

    I've been growing these particular plants, since about this time in the year 2000. These, are presently just recovering from a stint of about 4-5 years with absolutely no watering. I maintained their lighting, but gave them no other care. They kept growing, changing leaf forms, and blooming...

    Nepenthes Light cycle: 24 hours light cycle effects

    I noticed that most website recommend that you give nepenthes at least a 14-16 hours light cycle in order to grow them properly. With that information, I ponder if anyone has exposed nepenthes to a more intense light cycle ? Say 20-24 hours a day , with little to no night cycle ? I am currently...

    Nepenthes Osmocote Fertilizing

    I heard that some people fertilize their nepenthes by using osmocote. I tried doing some research on this topic and found out that people who have used it with great success, never mention the exact kind they used. Did they used the one with a NPK Analysis of 15-9-12 or 19-6-12, or 14-14-14 ...

    Dyna-Gro Foliage Pro 9-3-6 Fertilizer

    I have a bottle of Dyna-Gro Foliage Pro 9-3-6 Fertilizer that I use for "regular" plants potted in inorganic potting mixes. I was thinking that it would be a good candidate for fertilizing my Heliamphora, both in terms of soil drenching and foliar spray. Foliage Pro is lauded in some plant...

    Old leaf tip turning tar black?

    I've had this ventricosa for almost a year now, and it's been doing great. Two lower leaves are yellowing, and I first thought it was just age. A few days ago, however, I noticed that the oldest leaf has a very dark tip to it, as if someone covered it with charcoal dust. All the other leaves...

    Foliar fertilizing ferns (when grown as cp companions)

    Hello everyone. I recently received some Cinnamon ferns (Osmunda cinnamomea). My goal is to grow them as long-term companion plants with my flyraps, sarracenia, and temperate sundews. I didn't just randomly choose any fern, I had cinnamon fern recommended once as a companion plant for cp's...

    New to Bromeliads- How are mine doing?

    Hi, I recently started to grow plants, beginning with an Aechmea bromeliad. It's a hybrid cultivar called "haiku". Since I got it, it has grown a little more roots, and a few leaves.

    Fertilizing Nep Seedlings

    So I have been told by a few people that it might be a good idea to fertilize my few month old nepenthes seedlings currently growing in coco coir. My local hydroponics store had http://www.ageoldorganic.com/20/age-old-kelp-3-25-15/ as their best reccomendation, mainly just nitrogen and...

I have a young-well, actually TWO-N. mirandax hybrids that I purchased last spring at a reptile show from a guy who...

    Fertilizing Drosera & Sarracenia?

It has a ratio on the thing of like 1tbsp per gallon, but I do 3/4tsp per gallon like directed by the nursery owner that uses it on all of their CPs. I want to fertilize my sundews and my sarracenia. I have 15+ of each aliciae and...
