Do Mexican pinguicula tolerate imidicloprid? I have heard they're sensitive to pesticides and fungicides. I have mealy bugs on a few pings. Really weird.
Hey all. I have neglected my cephalotus collection a lot, and I've decided I want them to start looking good again. Sadly, almost all my plants are completely covered in powdery mildew. Does anyone a way to cure this beside neem and more air movement? I recall hearing that sulfur based...
Hey all, I was hoping you guys could help me conquer my problems with rhizome rot. I've moved all my plants outside into a small grow tent/greenhouse thing in hopes that sunlight and airflow will help prevent any new cases. However, I am also curious if there are any strong fungicides that I...
I was considering making the topic of my senior project the cultivation of carnivorous plants from seed, in which I would measure how light, humidity, soil makeup and moisture, and various fungicides and pesticides impact the growth and germination success of various carnivorous plants. What do...
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...
This growing season was going good for me until I started to lose several mature divisions to rhizome rot. The previous years I've lost a few divisions due to media getting too compacted over time. This year I decided to go with an airy mix with a higher perlite to peat ratio. I use the...
I've germinated several different species of Nepenthes (all lowland) the past few months and most of them seem to be growing pretty well but I've noticed some are turning brown, starting at the tips of the tiny pitchers, and slowly the brown begins to work it's way down the the base of the leaf...
I've got about 800+ seedlings that I'm growing out for my research project and I've repotted my seedlings multiple times to try and get rid of the algae infestation but to no avail. Literally one week after repotting the soil is already covered in the green menace. Does anyone know of any...
It was brought to my attention last night that one of my recent divions was being treated with fungicides. The grower was concnered about a white/grayish residue that would not wash off.
(An understandable concern I might add, and I am to blame for not foreseeing this issue)
Prior to shipment...
After reading Est's how-to and trading a few PMs I thought a circulating bog was quite feasible for me. Pictured is actually a reworked version of my first go. I learned quite a few things from trial and error:
Problem 1: A completely open circulating system with just a pond pump and irrigation...
I was just wondering if there are any fungicides that can be used to treat sooty mold on sarrs....I tried the standard "Wipe it off" suggestion with little success...can anyone give me any suggestions?
Thanks.
I'm trying my hand at raising CPs from seed and cuttings, nepenthes, sarracenia, and drosera in particular. And I'm looking for a good general purpose fungicide that is (a) effective, (b) safe for most CPs, (c) human and pet safe, and (d) does not have a pungent odor. I know this is asking a...
Cultivation of pygmy Drosera
Jan Flísek and Kamil Pásek
Pygmy Drosera comprise up a peculiar group that include the smallest sundews - small growth is a typical characteristic of this group. Most pygmy Drosera are found in southwestern areas of Western Australia. Only D. pygmaea is found in...
There's been a lot of questions regarding fridge dormancy for those of us that do not have access to a garage or shed and live in zones not fit for outside dormancy.
There are different methods, this is simply mine. I have had tremendous success using it and hope that those of you that chose to...
Hey, I did a search of insecticides and fungicides because I was going to buy some and I did find some brands at the store, but they either werent what I wanted or too much money.
When buying either one of them, what am I looking for in the ingredients? I remember one of them that was...
What insecticides and fungicides (and other chemicals) are OK to use on VFTs?
I don't think there are any pests on my VFT right now, but I have some other non-CPs around the VFT that have some pests?
Thanks
Hey all,
I've come across a brand of fungicide recently that's supposed to be relatively safe for all sorts of things from veggies to ornamentals and fruits. The active ingredient is some strain of bacillus subtilis, which I've not seen or heard too much about. Says it even helps to control...
Just wondering if anyone has ever used cinnamon as fungicide ... :P

Oh and while we're on the subject of fungicide, here are a couple more questions.
1) Are there any household products that can be used as fungicides? and how effective are they? Read...
