Hey tropicbreeze! What's your weather like at the moment? You can edit that plant name up there Karsty.

I guess, thinking about it, you must have a very red cv. of flava? I had a chance seedling of S. purpurea ssp. purpurea appear in an outdoor bog garden, and after 1 year it's size was comparable to yours.

Karsty started following Echinopsis 'Tango', Very small Flavas over winter survival, Krzysio's Nepenthes and 3 others

Hi FruitPolo, Are they really S. flava? They don't look like it to me. In the spring, I would experiment with some of them by spraying weak fertiliser over them and see how they react. Or if I could provide bright light and warmth all through winter, I would try it starting from now. These are just educated guesses at how to improve them Karsty.

The sad demise of the house plant section in UK garden centres.
Karsty replied to mobile's topic in Talk About Anything
Phew, after finding my magnifying glass to read some of these comments .... If any of you live within driving distance of St. Albans, Herts, you just Have to go to Aylett Nurseries. Their house plant area rival Kew Gardens for incredibleness, and to top it, their customer service is outstanding. Nearby is Burston Garden Centre, which has been quite good lately for house plants. -
Uknown Green house pest
Karsty replied to roberto morgado's topic in General Carnivorous Plant Discussion
Hi Roberto, Any news on this? It is almost certainly just fungal mycelium. Get yourself a cheap illuminated loupe from eBay, and have a good look around to see if there really are any pests. Karsty. -
I think the ants are chewing your sundew leaves to cause the damage. They apparently to not eject any formic acid. This particular queen ant escaped from me this year. Next year I will install cctv. Weirdly, all those I put into D. m. 'Big Mouth' were fully digested......

It's done it again this year. Does anyone else have experience of Dionaea 'Red Dragon' ('Akai Ryu') not digesting queen ants?

Couple of Questions About Aphids
Karsty replied to Netjer's topic in General Carnivorous Plant Discussion
If there's no aphids, there's no aphids! It's sounds like you are describing the natural sugary secretion it uses to attract insects....? -
Ali - Do you really think 10 weeks was not enough time to give the Ambyselius time to do their job? You will see that I carried out a certain amount of destruction with regard to the infested plants. So would it be reliable to say that after hatching these mites will not produce eggs within 2 weeks? Even in the most favourable conditions? Honestly, I'd rather poison myself slightly then recover than go through all of that trouble with the oil-based pesticide (would not SB Plant Invigorator do the same job?). Besides, I don't have a binocular microscope - not yet anyway! But I wo

Couple of Questions About Aphids
Karsty replied to Netjer's topic in General Carnivorous Plant Discussion
You can drain it off anyhow. Just make sure its medium remains moist. If it was me I wouldn't be concerned about it, I would take it out of the water and just put it straight back into normal conditions....
