Billybob Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Hi! I had a lovely plant collection a few years ago but had to sell it when I went to uni. I'm back now, and can't wait to start growing again! I'm looking forward to getting involved with stuff on here again - its changed loads!

Tarek Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Wellcome :) it`s probably hard to sell all plants , but now you on right way :) . What you have grow before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billybob Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Wellcome :) it`s probably hard to sell all plants , but now you on right way :) . What you have grow before? Hey! I mainly grew VFTs, sarracenia, darlingtonia and neps and had a cephalotus. I absolutely love nepenthes, but I had a bit of trouble during the winter with them. I'm trying to sort something out so I can keep them warm enough without paying a fortune! How about you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James O'Neill Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Welcome back! I'm dreading the time I have to go to uni, I don't know what I'll do without my plants! I guess I'll leave them in the parent's greenhouse, but I might not get to see them a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I'd just left them at home too, but I was so worried my mum would kill them - she's not very green fingered unfortunately! What are you thinking of studying at uni?

I think im going to try and grow some more drosera this time, they're just fascinating. I didn't grow my nepenthes in a terrarium, we've got a sort of utility room that gets loads of sun and is pretty humid, so I put them there. Thinking about it, I'll do the same again for a few select species and make a terrarium for the winter. It looks like yours are just on the window sill - do they cope well?

Yes, my only on window sil , i think plants and I doing not bad . Thx for good words about my plants :) . You lucky man if you have facility like that with lot of sun and good humidity, what kind a room there if it`s not a secret? :) About terrarium really good idea, in future and I will buy some. Drosera really very nice plant, looks great, nice rich color :) . We can change some spare plants if you wont :) . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billybob Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Tarek - swapping plants sounds great! I'll wait until I've got some divisions. VFTLance - I wish I'd thought of easing her in gently, I might give her a few lessons so she's okay for the future! Good luck with uni, I'm sure you'll have loads of fun!

Ehm...zoology or marine science. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
