    There's always room for jello . . .

    Here are some recent updates of a few Heliamphora cultures, in an experimental media -- some producing mature leaves within seven months. The cultures represent potentially unnamed lower-altitude species; and -- hopefully -- one particularly desirable one, from Cerro Huachamacare, from Amazonas...

    The Name Game - Part 2

    Australian Drosera in Cultivation Allen Lowrie's Carnivorous Plants of Australia Magnum Opus at time of publication Dec. 16, 2013 listed some 241 species. Many of these were new species or reassignment of ranks (subspecies or varieties). A few had been in cultivation before even having been...

    Some Thoughts on Sphagnum Cultivation

    I've been doing some reading the last few days, trying to learn a bit more about mosses in general; how they grow and propagate, how much their environment affects them, etc. Turns out that most "typical" mosses do not, in fact, leech nutrients or food from the soil...at least, not...

    LF N. madagascariensis

    I know this lowlander used to be widely available, but I haven't run across it in a while, so I'm not sure what the current market value of it is. If anyone has a cutting/plant for trade, I'd like to hear about it. As far as Neps go, I have a N. hookeriana with 8" leafspan or so I'd be willing...

    Sarracenia "Bengal Tiger"

    Hey all, just wondering if anyone here has any information on this hybrid. I found pictures on the CP Photofinder recently, and was blown away, but other than a small note on the plant here and there, I can't find too much about it, or how widely grown it is. If this is one that can be more...

    Hello everyone!

    Hi, My name is Johan, I'm 23 years old and I live in Belgium. I recently discovered this forum and thought it would be nice to share growing experiences and photographs. I've been growing carnivorous plants since I was about 10 years old, starting with out a D. capensis (which sadly has died...

    N. villosa/ N. macrophylla TC help

    I am looking here to see if anyone has experience with working with villosa and macrophylla tissue samples and being able to get a callus to form for multiplication. Each Nepenthes species seems to have its own preference for how much BAP and MS it likes, so by getting a good idea for both these...

    Sad Day......Stanley Rehder has Died

    You may not know his name but you probably know of him. S.Readii was named for him. He did a lot of work for cp's. It's a great loss but all of us that loves cps are better off for the life long work he did. I talked to his daughter a few weeks ago, he'll be missed...

    i have 2 dorsera anglica temperate seedlings for trade

    as of now they are growing in lfs....the original plant was kinda expensive for a drosera so i figure they are either difficult to propagate or not widely available. I am open to anything drosera, dionaea, sarracenia or lowland nep.

    Starting a Sphagnum Culture

    I've been wanting to start up some culture tubs of LFS for a while now. I know where I can get LFS to start my culture, but I want to know the best way to culture it before I buy it and try it. For the culturing tubs, I have two clear, 7" high, 27.5" long and 15.5" wide plastic tubs. Not sure...

    A Hike Through the Tongass (DUW)

    Yesterday I went on a seven hour hike through some interesting Southeast Alaskan rainforest. The following pictures will show you a bit about the area that I live and the forests and sphagnum bogs that I've grown up in and have come to love. The trail head is a an old stretch of boardwalk...

    Drosera trinervia - seeds ~30+ Suprisingly this small winter growing South African Drosera has the distinction of being the most widely spread of the South Africans, not D. capensis. The plants were labeled "N560 Stromsvlei Kloof, 150km from Cape Town, RSA". I don't know much about...

    Sarracenia Size Chart?

    Is there a commonly used size chart for sarracenia? I'm thinking probably not, because everyone has such widely different views on the sizes of their plants. I've been buying a lot of them lately. One place I bought from that advertised large plants were really big, what I call large, with...

    Question for the UK people, best nutrient POOR soil purchase please...

    I know it's very important to use nutrient POOR soil to grow Venus Flytraps. It seems that the most widely accepted medium to use is a 1:1 mix (in terms of volume) of peat and perlite. However whats the best brand to obtain in the way of nutrient POOR peat. I know it may sound stupid, but I...

    Sarracenia rhizome rot: remembering Bugweed's tips

    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...

    S. flava rubricorpora question . . .

    Recently, I had a chance to read some differing accounts relating to the supposed "sensitivity" of Sarracenia flava var. rubricorporora to any re-potting, root disturbance or division; and that its very bright coloration -- widely varying from reds to purples -- can be adversely affected; and it...

    A year in review

    Dave Barry Year in Review: Bailing out of 2008 BY DAVE BARRY How weird a year was it? Here's how weird: • O.J. actually got convicted of something. • Gasoline hit $4 a gallon -- and those were the good times. • On several occasions, Saturday Night Live was funny. • There were a few days...
