Arum dioscoridies - to me - is just poo. Not carrion, just poo. Horrible. Quite a number of the araceae seem to smell like very bad body-odour to me too.....
-
They smell like rotting seaweed to me. The nastiest scent so far I have found in Araceae is Arum dioscorides!

Hamata as a houseplant will struggle......

Mine's in an irregular, rough, dirty mix of bark chips of no specific size, a bit of fibrous peat, dead/dried sphagnum (for hanging baskets) and perlite. Some grow it in just peat and perlite I understand. As long as it's a nice open mix, with coarse material in it, the plant should be happy.

I know Hewitt-Cooper CPs are growing it and got them through last years's summer.... for those who can see the comments here:
-
Just to update as my update got lost in the forum crash last year.... all my plants died in last year's hot summer.
-
Just a quick few photos of the habitat and some of plants of Utricularia vulgaris in mass-flowerings in the vast Kopački rit wetlands in north-eastern Croatia a fortnight ago. Sorry the photos don't really do the utric justice... they were really en-masse but very hard to photograph.

Unknown plant - very strange - can you help me with identifying it?

A succulent will grow under those conditions for a while. It certainly looks like a succulent to me, and apart from the colour E. obesa does have a vaguely similar habit as a seedling. -

Euphorbia obesa? -
(only trim the dead parts... the green parts are still useful to the plant, but typically that does mean the plants are shorter when flowering and look quite tidy).
-
Oh I think of the flowering season as a highlight in the greenhouse, lots of trimmed-short pitcher-bases and the lovely flowers hovering above like so many exotic butterflies. And generally they even smell nice.
-
Yes, my plants outdoors must be 20-30cm deep.

Mine's been growing in the garden for 10 years, with no protection!
-
This Drosera bindoon is producing this crown of red buds. Are they gemmae, or just new leaf shoots? I'm new to the species.....!
-
I would defer planting the seed until September. The cool nights are one of the triggers for successful germination.....
