    Please help with diagnosis and treatment

    Hello TF'ers, I'm having an issue with two of my nepenthes. One is a hybrid of N. (ventricosa x sibuyanensis) x burkei and the other is a nice seed grown N. burbidgeae. The hybrid nep has been going down hill for the last month or so, and at first I thought perhaps I over fertilized it because...

    saprophytes

    Kidding, saprobes. I am looking for an ID of any sort of what I am looking at here. Hiking through coos county, oregon, on the coast, I came across this damp rock wall covered in this whisker like fungal bodies. Spores? Fruiting bodies? I have no idea but I am trying to put it in a journal so I...

    Looking For Difficult Seeds

    I was just given a bottle of a product www.inocucor.com/products/ (thanks to Ray at First Rays Orchids)containing a mix of microbes that supposedly have multiple benefits for plants. The benefit which I'm most interested in is a claim to help prevent damping off and other fungal issues. I'd...

    Dactylopsis digitata

    The incident of having a couple of common Jade Plants survive outside last winter just outside Philadelphia got me interested in succulents, and a short while later I discovered this plant. It's very rare in the US, but fortunately my interest coincided with a seed order from South Africa where...

    Heliamphora Pitchers drying rapidly

    Hi, I recently took a weekend trip and came back to find my heliamphora looking less than happy. After doing a bit of research, the sudden death syndrome that I have read about seems to be related to fungal infections. I received this plant in a juvenile stage about a year ago. Slowly but...

    rosette-on-a-stick syndrome

    I've been having an issue with a few nepenthes, and I'm wondering if anyone has figured out the solution. They're growing fine up top, but they lose old leaves as quickly as they gain new ones. Over time this leads to a rosette with five or six leaves sitting on top of a tall woody stem. In my...

    Utricularia campbelliana growing on a car cleaning sponge

    A couple of years ago I wondered if a sponge could be used as a growing medium. Figuring that it was perhaps a little too 'sterile' I set about growing some moss on it. My U campbelliana had been multiplying well in a more traditional growing medium, which unfortunately started to succumb to a...
