[Akopan Tepui + Cueva del Fantasma expedition (Jan 2017)]

Amazing places and photos!

[Good miticide in EU]

I've used borneo too on vfts and it was really goog. I also sprayed the sundews just for precaution without burning sign. And yes its specific against eggs and juvenile form.

[information about some dionaea]

Ciao Luca, if i'm not wrong the "amteborus" is a clone founded by italian grower sbrisio77 ( dovresti conoscerlo) in a market in Amsterdam.

[MERRY XMAS EVERYONE]

Merry Xmas to you all!!!

Sudden death is a fungal infection (term maybe not right in English) which grows very fast. 

 

Do you think SDS could be related to one of these?:

 phytophtora

pythium

Some grower here in Italy use trichoderma with good result. I'm asking more than anything else because i've never been very lucky with thi genus.

[dormant Darlingtonia (seedlings) in darkeness ok?]

Ok now its clearer, you should assure them as much light as you can because they need it for photosyntesis, even in the dormant period. 

[Cephalotus Autumn Colour]

Congratulations! beautiful plants!!!

[dormant Darlingtonia (seedlings) in darkeness ok?]

Hi Oliver, plants always need of sunlight and good air circulation even in winter time. Specially if they still have green parts (for photosyntesis) and to avoid mould.

[ID help]

Honestly it seem some kind of hybrid with leucophylla, this due to the wavy shape of the hood and the areoles, looking "leucophylla style" to me.

[Drosera anglica is it dead]

Hi Partisangardener, i must apologize, i misreaded what DT301 wrote about keeping them in the greenhouse. My words was only referred to growing temperate sundews outside.

[Drosera anglica is it dead]

I don' t think english sun could be a problem, they are tougher than you may think. Mine (from seed germinated in spring) survived to a extemely hot and long lasting italian summer. I grow mine with a lot of live sphagnum in full sun, open air with just a coverage above.

Boy I would have used all my spagmum planting them in there 

yes it would have been better, i grow rotundifolia, intermedia and anglica in live sphagnum and they are thriving.

[Where is everyone?]

Like JMH i think the "issue" is fb. Also in the italian forums happened the same migration, probably because fb is easier and faster to use, nowadays how many people don't have an fb account? (btw, one it's me). Until there are some forums active, i will use them.

[Drosera anglica is it dead]

Try to improve the air circulation in the greenhouse, hybernaculums are very sensible to lack of air and sunlight. 

[Drosera anglica is it dead]

Hi DT301, i enterely quote what Richard wrote: try to check for hybernaculum, if you don't find any of them try with seeds, but spread them on live sphagnum moss, i had good result. 

[Sarracenia dormancy?]

EVERY Sarracenia needs of dormancy. Try to post a picture, if it's a hybrid may be hard to be really secure about name.

[heliamphora 'red mambo']

congratulations! i really like the shape of the "hat"

[Carnivorous plants in Poland]

Hi Krzysio, i have just one word for all of your photo: AWESOME!!!

[Hi to all]

Ciao Luigi!!!

[Capillaris or brevifolia?]

Hi Fryderyck, looking at some picture found on the net, yes there is lovellae chance, due to the extreme variability in the spatulata complex, lets see.....

Se non e' un problema manda pure le foto, se vuoi anche su cpi.

Thanks, grazie!

[Capillaris or brevifolia?]

Hi guys, last year i bought some capillaris seeds, but now the plants are adult and seem more brevifolia rather capillaris (i will change the label). This due to the dimension of the rosette (less then 4 cm), colour (very red), shape of the leaves and colour of the flower (white but i know that could be difference). Am i right? Thanks in advance.

[Rescued a Purp venosa - repotting]

Hi yours is the same old story: often who sell cp don't know anything about them. If it were a vft i have no doubt, repot immediately. But with sarras i usually smell the bottom of the pot: if it stink (rarely but may occur)repot, otherwise i wait till dormancy.
