Some mixed-seed VFT babies spending winter outside due to space issues in the garage. They seem to be doing well in the cold temps with overnight temps in the 20’s at times. Temps always warm up above freezing during the day though. The second pic is of the tray after the snow melted off the...
I was considering converting an aquarium to a terrarium for HL Neps. Less of a production setup and more of a naturalistic display. Since my considering was done mostly at night during our recent heat wave I realized that cooling would be necessary, as the temp of the room I would be able to...
Hi everyone,
I'm growing CP since 2010.
Tks to the OCPS forum members, I now have a nice collection that I grow in a dedicated room.
Here, in Quebec, we usually get over 3 meters of snow every winter but it didn't stop me trying CP outside too. Especially temperate pings and sarr. I'm...
So we were having a nice warm winter this year, but yesterday it decided to drop about a foot of snow on top of us. I thought it was going to melt so I went outside at about 9:00 to snap some photos (in a T-shirt, very Canadian :-O)
Only two of the photos are really worth showing (shot with a...
So i went to my parents house Christmas eve. having one of the best ever watching my son open up his new gifts (and daddy getting his new tool set) :)
I was just getting ready to sink my teeth into my mothers PRIME prime rib and i get a call from the next door neighbors telling me that my...
Got to visit some CP natural habitats in Oregon.
First site in southern Oregon
Late snow melt water was high. Don't know if the plants had woken up to their fullest. Some Flowering in the D. anglica. Utricularia intermedia seen and it was flowering. There is a published trip report for this...
The recipe for the cake (it's supposed to be a roll cake with cream, but I switched it up a bit)..
pour 1/2 tsp salt into 7 egg whites + whip to stiff peaks
pour 1/2 cup sugar into 7 egg yolks + whip to light yellow and thick
melt 8oz semi-sweet baking chocolate with 2tbsp water and 1tbsp...
Living in Missouri, I got about 4 inches of snow today. I also happened to conveniently run out of distilled water today. As I was about to walk down the block to our local grocery, I realized there was plenty of what I needed outside! So I grabbed a large plastic container, scooped off the...
While I usually keep all my plants well separated and labeled, I'm contemplating dropping a few Drosera in my Heli terras. I'm thinking of dropping some in the pots of my Heliamphora..unless you guys think I should drop some sphag in the terra itself and drop them in that, or just in entirely...
M1 Garands and Carbines are semi-automatic and legal to own in all 50 states, there are tens of thousands of them already here....Garands CAN NOT under any circumstances use a high capacity magazine anyway, your choices are to load it as a single shot or use a 5 or 8 round clip, the bottom of...
So I've had my cobra plant for two or three years now. It's done well so far. I'm proud that I've kept it alive.
Anyway, I've noticed a few of their "heads" have become pruny. Like someone stuck a straw in them and sucked the life from them. I've never ever seen this before. Could this be too...
Oy I have too many plants, made worse by being re-bitten by the orchid bug. I now have 3 shelves full mostly of plants, so here's pics of that and the RO machine (which got moved to the other side of the sink behind the dishes-drying-rack). Oh, and the plants on the window behind the RO...
Hey guys,
Its officialy summer here in Toronto, and my Highland nepenthes are throwing temper tantrums. Eg: not pitcher, slowing pitchering down, losing pitchers etc.
Can anyone tell me a good way to cool down my terrarium? I tried Ice bottles, but they don't work very well, because they...
When YOU, not your plants, eat food is there anything that you need with it, like soda, CHEESE (x3333), or Milk...etc?
For me, I melt cheese on everything I eat. x33 I'm not crazy, its just everything has taste, but its so boring. I love cheese.I'm not :crazy: I bet you guys have weirder things...
Hello Friends,
Well, due to some requests from fellow Heli-addicts, I've decided to write an article on how I grow Heliamphora indoors year-round.
Here's a list of the Heliamphora I'm successfully growing at present;
H. nutans
H. ionasii
H. sarraceniodes
H. hispida
H. minor x H. heterodoxa...
Hi guys,
A fascinating new thing I have come upon is a Dutch cookie called a Stroopwafel. A family friend brought over a bag of stroopwafels that a friend of her's got from Amsterdam and they were delicious! I taught my grandparents how to eat them the proper way (put the cookie on top of the...
Got up today and there's a ton of whirling blowing falling snow so heading off to a book store in a county far, far away was outta the question. I have plenty to read anyway, including a book I somehow ordered two of off amazon last week which both arrived today! So it better be good! lol...
Contrary to belief, nepenthes are quite hardy as im sure alot of you know. but a few people have recently asked me how i grow mine outside during the summer months here in the Northwestern US.
As many people know, Western Washington is part of a temperate rainforest, and the temperatures in...
Gang -
There have been several discussion over the past couple of weeks over the merits (or lack of) of LFS as the sole or a portion of potting mix: I've only ever used pure LFS a handful of times, and have since slowly repotted everything out of it. Today, I finally had the time, and enough...
