Recommended Posts

hi they do fly, iv googled fungus gnats and they could well be them, they look very similar. are they anything to worry about? during the summer i grow sweet peppers on the same window cil and they are around those plants too, i get them each year but havnt noticed any harm being caused.

update on these seedlings... with the weather slowly improving here they have shown good growth and improving colour. they we're sown just under 1 year ago.

plant 1 is showing good colour (this past week has been really sunny and its darkened alot) its producing small adult pitchers around 1"

Plant 1:

plant 2 is bigger and quicker growing, already producing huge adult pitchers 1 and 3/4 inches! its colour is improving but its not as red as plant 1.

I wonder when, our if, the characteristic dark coloration of the parent will appear.

Of the five seeds sent to a contact, only one is showing good colour and it did so very early. It is on here some where as "Son of Eden Black". The best of the others look more like those on here.

hi marcus, was it black from being tiny? my 3rd seedling... (the tiny one & only other that suvived) is quite red for its size, where as the other 2 we're green when tiny but grew much much quicker. but this ones red at the moment not really dark/black. do you have any photos of them?

Made a bad mistake last summer.

Decided to repot most of Cephalotus plants into 12 inch pots as spring was approaching but was a little worried that they may suffer as the warm days approached. All were repotted other than the EB seedlings. When the really hot days of summer arrived, all plants in small pots melted- including all EB seedlings.

Of course, every other plant placed into the larger pots thrived.

Still shattered.......
