tiny

I was just given some bench space in the horticulture club greenhouse at my university. I live in a tiny apartment, so I'm excited to finally have room to grow Nepenthes. Light and humidity seem perfect, but according to the greenhouse complex manager, the hort club greenhouse is heated to a...

announcing another new hybrid :-) H. parva x folliculata Still tiny, but first mature pitchers non the less... will post pics when it develops a little more oh and I guess it's ok to say now, This December's issue of ICPS newsletter has an article of mine about indoor heli cultivation, I got...

My pings are infested with these little bugs. At first I thought they were perhaps seeds that I spilled accidentally but when they starting popping up on more and more plants it became obvious that they are not seeds :( They don't seem to be moving much unless you poke them and flip them upside...

This D. abberans decided to wake up a bit early, so I'm trying to keep things cool for it so it doesn't get too upset! Beware: iPhone quality photos inside!:jester: Still tiny! A week ago: The plant today. I gave it two tiny gnats so far.

Here's the result so far of my recent attempt at propagating N. campanulata by culturing the shoot tips in vitro. I used small basal shoots as explant source and referred to these links for disinfection methods: http://icps.proboards.com/thread/4891...

So the other day I was shopping online for a few plants and a TC farm in Florida that I was buying from had a nep. called 'Gentle'. Only $5 for it so I said why not! The small plant they sent has only one tiny damaged pitcher that gives me very little indication of what it will look like. In...

I just received a young adult cephalotus planted in pure LFS in a small pot. Should I go ahead and repot it in a sand/peat/perlite mix in a larger pot, or should I wait? The soil it's in seems kind of old and compacted and the pot's tiny.

Hi guys, I joined the forum to ask about my ventricosa (probably, could be ventrata). I've had it for a few years; love it, will get more neps when I have the space. It's grown from a tiny home depot plantling to a sizeable plant, with approximately equal sized vining and basal stems. Until...

Over the weekend I ordered some PVC and Acrylic from a local plastics manufacturing place downtown, and made this terrarium for som smaller plants and life moss. I was wondering for those of you who keep live sphagnum in between your plant pots, how much water should be sitting in the bottom? I...

I know vft's can not be left out in freezing weather. My problem is I have no place to put them in the winter where they would get the temp and light needed to hibernate. My basement is heated at about 65 degrees even on the window sill. I did the refrigerator method last year and they survived...

Why do some wistuba Heli never seem to go beyond juvenile stage? I have been growing Heli from Wistuba since 1997 but have found some clones (for me at least) never progress well. My hispida never did and got smaller. Yet another clone from elsewhere moved to adult growth quickly. My 10 year...

I have tried and failed to grow regia in the house, so when a generous donor supplied me with a few small regia I planted them in the bog outside since I had luck with another one out there year-round in the past. They were tiny plants when I got them earlier this year and I lost one to slugs...

UPDATE: Looks like August 24th at 12:00pm is the best time to meet at my place. Email me for an address. Hello Colorado! It looks like I have some extra plants that I would like to trade with other Colorado enthusiasts. I was thinking we could all get together some Saturday in August or early...

A European paper wasp (Polistes dominula) trying to feed on the tiny droplets of nectar secreted on the underside of the operculum of a yellow pitcher plant (Sarracenia flava). As you can see the wasp had a very precarious hold on the slippery lip of the plant. You can tell that this wasn’t...

I recently bought a couple of Thai micro crabs (Limnopilos naiyanetri) to photograph and add to my aquarium. These critters were really tiny and my aquarium is chock full of wood and plants. I knew that once I added the crabs I would be lucky to ever see them again; so I took the time to take...

I just joined today. Have been growing carnivorous plants since I was little but seriously now for 4 years. I'm currently working on a TC project with Nepenthes, Dionaea, Drosera, and Cephalotus as part of some summer research that I'm doing at school. Finding as much information as is out there...

I’ve been taking photos of zebra jumping spiders (Salticus scenicus) that have been hunting mosquitoes on the screen door to my kitchen. These spiders are really endearing in their movements and “attitude”...it’s too bad they are so tiny. Imagine how much fun they would be if they were the size...

Hi, I was hoping someone could help me ID this sundew(s). I had this pot sitting on the side for almost a year now and all of a sudden these tiny little guys popped up. The only seeds that I've ever sown are D. menziesii menziesii. Could this be it? These ones seem to be a totally...

First attempt, 6 lb bone in butt Spicy/ sweet rub with a tiny bit of apple juice injection. I was afraid of overdoing the injection. I didn't want to taste the apple. Smoker set on 225f, water tray, hickory chips Curious about progress, is this what I should expect at this point? 3 hrs /...

Being a newbie is hard so can anyone tell me what are good carnivous plants I should start with? I took cuttings off a nepenthes last month and today notice new growth? I am so happy first time I ever tried it and I was jumping and clapping my hands when I seen this tiny green leaf coming from...
