rot

Recently the immature H. hispida has had a large pitcher die off. The only thing that has changed would be the seasons, but because the windows are open now it should still be experiencing a nightly temperature drop. I have been growing it in a plastic bag with the top open. (to keep a higher...

I let my ceph dry out a little too much between waterings and its looking like the leaves are not smooth anymore, and they are very limp and kinda bumpy looking like its starting to wilt.. I immediately watered it and put it back on the windowsill hoping it will revive but its been a few days...

Drosera rotundifolia seed - three US locations Ok, everybody wanted Drosera rotundifolia at the beginning of the year. Here are some seeds from three locations in the United States. South Fallsburg, NY Big Lagoon, Humboldt Co., CA Gasquet, CA Ivan Snyder's "Big Lagoon" Drosera rotundifolia...

I've got a Sarracenia Minor in my mini-bog on the patio. It was growing really well for a couple weeks and sent out a pitcher or two. However, we received a lot of rain over the past week, and now my Minor appears to be wilting. The leaves are still green (no sign of browning) but the pitchers...

Last season I started as a beginner and bought a ton of plants. I spent around $100 bucks last summer and had more error than I expected. This was due to overwatering, lack of knowledge, and using a hydroponics style vegetable planter that my mom had sitting in the garage. This vegetable grower...

This is an odd question, but which carnivorous plants do you actually dislike (whether it's their difficulty with growing, their appearance, etc) Personally, I'm not a big fan of the Venus Fly Trap "Dente" because it just looks bad. It goes against what a Venus Fly Trap should look like (the...

Are sundews from California readily available in collections? I am trying to put some in my bog. I would like to put some CA rotundifolia (the highland site) because they are pretty big. How would one go about getting some? If that fails, I would like D. rotundifolia 'Charles Darwin'-is that...

Hi, all! The other day, I noticed that all of the pitchers' lids on my Hummer's Giant were closed. From the knowledge I've gained from several of you, I thought it simply to be a humidity problem, as I saw my humidity gauge had registered 30% at one point, and my humidifier was running...? I...

Thank you to everyone for all of your kind replies and help on my previous posts . I greatly appreciate it! I do have some more questions that I know will seem super basic, so I am grateful for taking the time to help this newbie! Previous post...

Ugh. I'm still losing some of my smaller Sarracenias due to rhizome rot/melt/fungus/something. This summer has been unbearably hot and dry. At the past advice of one of our veteran Sarracenia growers--Bugweed--I've started growing my plants in undrained plastic tubs. About 2 years ago, I...

Aloinopsis malherbei If you buy one of these from Lowe's (usually mislabeled "Titanopsis calcarea" see bottom entry) NEVER EVER, EVER NEVER water this plant directly! It will usually turn to jelly in a couple days if the soil gets evenly wet. Mist/spray it heavily every day or two so some water...

Hey guys, I have a very small ceph that I got from andrew a while ago. It is growing in my sunroom, where temps stay between 65-85F most of the time, and humidity is usually around 50-65%. I do not have it in a tray, I mist it every other day. I read that cephs suffer from root rot very...

Okay, I was trimming dead leaves off my Drosera Adelae, and I noticed two of those roots growing off the stem. Mind you, this is a vey important part of this question. While I was trimming, I thought, "If I accidentally clipped off the stem under those roots and I planted the top, would it...

Hey, i just got myself a nice 6 inch across, 6 inch deep round, ceramic pot. how do i clean it, so there are no extra minerals that might pose a threat to the plant? the darlingtonia right now is in a small 3.5 inch square plastic pot, with the media being 100% live sphagnum. it's sitting in a...

Last year, I had a very nice, compact, clumping Echeveria. It was producing at least six pups last November. Like all Echeverias, though it didn't like getting overwatered, especially in the cooler months. I overwatered it and it began to lose some lower leaves. Then I saw that its stem was...

In the comming summer vacation,I 'll have to leave the dormitory for at least two months and therefore nobody is going to take care of my ceph during that period of time. I do wonder,whether it 'd be possible for ceph to survive under the following conditions for two months. 1. Here in Shanghai...

Today I finally received one of my few "grail" species! Here's my first Somalian asclepiad Pseudolithos cubiformis My plant shown above is a whopping 7/8" in diameter! Eventually it gets to about 4". They often develop into a nice solitary cube of living brown reptile skin. Sometimes they...

I was wondering; because N.ampullaria can be kept much wetter than other N. species without fear of rot, can you keep it in a water tray like you would for sarracinas and VTF?
