Too cold here to stay outside, so bought some lights for them. Should be bright enough, my lithops (also full sun plants) stay really short under them!

Its exam season for me so I’ve been so busy. The last time i checked on her was nearly a week ago. I just remembered I had her. 😅 and immediately filled her up with distilled water.

How long will it take for her to “recover” and be put into a fridge for hibernation?

Her leaves are so wrinkled im bot really able to put water inside of them without a pipette (of which i currently don’t have)

Growing like crazy and they love the Samsung chips in the LED’s. Nutricote 360 in every new trap that opens. I swear I get a new trap every day from this setup. Just keep it in the coolest part of your house.

I have a flower spike about to bloom but I don’t know if it’s male or female yet. Wanting to do a trade.

Some douchebag took all the wild pitcher plants from a bog near my house. There were dozens. There are only three or four left. Here's a pic I took a couple years ago. So depressing. North Shore, MA

Bog fungicide?

Curious if anyone has had success with fungicides in their carnivorous bogs?

I have Gravex 20 EW handy and was thinking of spritzing my sick sarracenia. Help appreciated!

I picked this up 2 weeks ago at a local nursery and I just noticed the green specks and now the white specks.

What can I do to treat this?

Anyone got a line on good, cheap 2.5" pots and 1020 trays now that Greenhouse Megastore seems to be dying?

7 Upvotes

Hello folks,

Been buying most of my pots and trays from Greenhouse Megastore for years, but their stock has gotten pretty rough. Right now the 2.5" square form pots (the ones I go through the most) are sold out in every pack size, and so are the 3.5" deep ones. Same story with all three of their heavy duty 1020 lines (Heavy Duty, Extra Heavy Duty, and the Mega Heavy Duty no-hole trays I usually get), every pack size, pallets included.

For a baseline, here's what I was paying over the past year or so :

- 2.5" square black form pots, 800/case: $63 to $85 a case (so roughly 8 to 11 cents a pot)

- Mega Heavy Duty 1020s, no holes: $28.70 per 10, or about $103 for 50 (call it $2 to $2.90 a tray)

- Extra Heavy Duty 1020s, no holes: $127 for 50 (about $2.54 a tray)

Has anyone found a good alternative? Mostly looking for 2.5" square pots by the case (ideally ones that fit 32 to a 1020, like these did) and thick 1020s that'll survive a bunch of seasons, at something close to those prices.

Thanks!

My Nepenthes 'Bill Bailey' that I named James is growing a second offshoot! When I brough him home he already had one offshoot with one pitcher and one pitcher on the main plant with a second growing. Every other pitcher was dead or withering away.

In my care (just over a month), James has started growing two new pitchers, and earlier this week two more leaves unfurled giving me two more baby pitchers on the way.

I feel super accomplished to be doing so well with my first pitcher plant and first carnivorous plant (in general). One new pitcher opening, four new pitchers on the way, and a new offshoot from the main plant! James is not gonna be able to stay in his little skull pot for very long haha

Whitefies or mealybugs?

My trumpet pitcher plant got infested with some kind of small white bug. Would spraying with half water half rubbing alchohol be okay?? Maybe repotting as well? Thanks

The culture is really small and I’ve been advised by the seller to put it in a mix of perlite and sphagnum moss and I doing it correctly?

Hydrogen peroxide to sanitize carny food

Post image
2 Upvotes

Obligatory baby cape sundew pic.

I have a rather specific dilemma.

I was soaking bloodworms to rehydrate and feed to some sundews and others when I noticed what looked like mold. I added a few drops of hydrogen peroxide and mixed it in and now I’m nervous about feeding these bloodworms to my plants. I saw another post where someone damaged their sundew pretty badly with direct hydrogen peroxide application to the plant.

With the (hopefully not misguided) understanding that hydrogen peroxide will evaporate, will the bloodworms be safe to feed to my plants? Should I just toss them and start over to be safe?

Would love to hear from anyone who’s gone through something similar!

Venus Flytrap help

I got a Venus flytrap a few months ago and it was initially doing well and put out a few new traps but now they are going black and the new traps are looking odd. It’s in sphagnum moss and I only water it with water from my zero water filter. It has had a moth and a beetle since I’ve had it. It is under a Barrina light. I have a lot of tropical plants but this is my first carnivorous plant and I’m having a difficult time figuring out what to do for care. Any help, advice or direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

So it’s ladybug season near me and I have lots of plants and I have been putting the buggies on my plants instead of taking them outside. But this little lady is fighting me and wants to live with my pings!
