  1. Do you have any of these orchids for sale or swap? i can swap for other orchids, ferns, begonias, bromeliads/tillandsias, carnivorous or any other plants i have (all sorts hardy, tropical, succulents, Etc). regards michael
  2. I also have Sauromatum venosum but it always seems to start growing much later then other peoples in the uk! Does it need a period of dry, cool or heat to get it into growth? I also have Typhonium giganteum that I have the same troube with, Ive been told that this one is a little hardier than S.Venosum, but it also comes into growth rather late for me tho? I am still very new to aroids so I’d like to learn as much as can! I also have Sauromatum venosum but it always seems to start growing much later then other peoples in the uk!

  3. Ok this is very interesting as I know very little in this sort of field; I can grow plants and look after live stock but this sort of thing just baffles but interreges me! Can suggest what I could do be it LED or halogens in the size of area I mentioned? Also what would be cheapest to run?
  4. Interesting, the area im thinking of using it in is 5ft wide, 8ft long and about 6ft high, its a mini polytunnle in my heated polytunnle. lol I was thinking would a few bulbs on the top of the frame pointing down? these where the bulbs i was thinking of E27 38 LEDs 2W Plant Grow Growth Light< any thoughts or suggestions?
  5. I’m looking into some LED grow lights for my Highland Nepenthes and my cool growing orchids that I keep with them. I’m trying find some info on what grow lights I need for them but cant find much, I will have the lights on a timer for the day time. Can you suggest what to look into and what are really good for the plants I want to grow? Thank you Michael
  6. I'm looking into making more space for me sarracenias so I'm looking at pollytunnles or glasshouses/greenhouses, but not sure what to go with! The size I'm thinking of is about 60ft by 20ft or so, it's a big investment so I want to get all the info I can! I know polytunnels are ok and that's where I keep my sarracenias at the moment but I know glasshouses are cheeper (in the long run!) but not as strong in HIGH winds compared to polytunnels. What do you think? I know a few polytunnle sites but could you give me some sites for cheep ish glasshouses or even second hand Dutch style ones. Thank you anyway Michael!
  7. Is anyone coming from the Dorset area to ANY of these open days? As i don’t drive yet, i am happy to contribute to the fuel costs! I live on the A35 in Chideock so easy to find and pick up! I would Love to go to CP open day as I haven’t been in YEARS! Thank you anyway! Michael
