    Utricularia starter pack giveaway

    I will be giving a plug of each of the following utricularia species to one person: longifolia, livida, and what I think is bisquamata ( it's a weedy species but has never flowered for me). All I ask is that you have at least 30 posts, and that they are not all in giveaways. Shipping is on me...

    Grow shelf advice!

    Hi yall, ive been growing cp's for a few years here and there, and since I'm somewhat settled in my current place, I thought I'd set up a more permanent grow shelf. I dragged a free-standing wooden shelf from the backyard to my bedroom's south-facing window, put a few trays of live sphagnum and...

    Bow-fingered Gecko (Cyrtodactylus mamanwa)

    Hey guys it's me again.. You still remember my drunken snake dealer? The one who brought a bag of vipers, literally? Well lucky for me he hasn't forgotten about me during my 4-month absence. He had a deal someplace nearby so he decided to drop-by my new petplace and give me a welcome home gift...

    My experience and what I've learned about mealybugs (ugh!)

    **I will preface this by saying I am not an expert, I have only been growing CPs for 5 years (but only really got into them in the last year) and there are many people here with vastly more experience. This is a summary of my experience and what I've learned about these horrid creatures. If you...

    Bog Sarr Die Off

    So lately I've noticed something disturbing in my bog. After a strong start to the growing season, many of my plants seem to be suffering from untimely demises. This is my second year with the bod garden so I'm not sure what's wrong as the situation hasn't changed since last year with the...

    Quarantine?

    Alright it's about time to start adding snails and crabs and such to my tank... So setting up a quarantine seems unstable and prone to issues since it is a bare tank with a crappy filter and a heater. Anyone have something to add to this? Should I do one? Is it over rated? Etc...

    Hey from southern Virginia!

    Hi! I just joined this weekend. I'm very new to carnivorous plants, but my journey with them started years ago. I have a koi pond, and while shopping for bog plants years ago I discovered this crazy looking thing labeled "pitcher plant." The only thing the label said was keep moist and give lots...

    Moving, downsizing, giving away plants.

    Please read the entire post before posting. Hello folks, I am moving to Anchorage to continue my schooling and so my collection of Nepenthes must be downsized considerably. It was hard for me to choose which plants I would keep and which I would get rid of, but it's been done. Important...

    Rash on singalana Tujuh

    Hey guys, I've been ignoring this problem for a while now, but since it seems to have spread, I figured I'd try to get some help identifying it. Just like the title says, my singalana Tujuh has developed a strange rash, which began at the stem, and has since spread to the leaves. I'm quite...

    The Saga of the Satan Mold

    I have been battling a particularly resilient type of white, cottony, almost spider-web like mold for a while now. I first got it when I received some gemmae and my first utric in the mail. I ended up potting these in some pots which had been on the back porch. There did not appear to be...

    Order Conditions and Packing!

    Hi all, I recently received a shipment from a well known, much talked about source, (using up a gift-card I received from my brother-in-law from Christmas's gone by). Since there has been much complaint here on the forum about poor packing by certain distributors along with other problems...

    It's official I'm moving to Toronto...

    Well, as of today, it's official. I'm moving to Toronto. So, it looks like I'm going to need to get a visa for my wife, a quarantine certificate for my pet rabbit, and a CITES export permit for my plants. Does anyone know where to begin with the CITES permit? I know I need it for the neps...

    mathematical modelling of zombie infection

    I got sidetracked while reading for a public health class and came across this: http://www.mathstat.uottawa.ca/~rsmith/Zombies.pdf That would have to be the highlight of a statistician's career, because how often do they get to conclude a publication like this: In summary, a zombie outbreak...
