I know this is a controversial thing to say here, mostly due to the whole "let nature take its course" meme, but I'll go ahead and say it anyway:
If I saw this in real life, I would save the frog everytime. Sure, the plant needs subsistence, but as an animal, I have more in common with the frog than the plant. Since I'm also an animal with the ability to feel empathy, it comes natural to me to save other animals in need.
This being said, I'm pretty sure the recording is from a live feeding in a closed environment.
Nepenthes sanguinea "blackjack"
It looks almost like a Rebecca Soper. Anyway for a pure especies is crazy strong, growing through winter without problem.
Sarracenia psittacina. No flower this year, I guess this unusually hot winter just fucked its dormancy up.
Deformed flowers in Sarracenia x fiona. Another consequence of a hot winter.
And the only healthy Sarracenia flower bud I got this year is from a weird hybrid: fiona x flava
>>2095714
the non-blooming one looks like a penis. Nice dildo-plants m8

>Look mom! I'm edgy and fat!
>>2095796
Don't worry, it's not cool to be cruel. It's just a shithead millennial male meme. They'll all be dead from their own stupidity in a few decades anyway. There is absolutely nothing right with the naturalistic fallacy. Never forget that. If anyone ever tries to give you the reason "Well nature, therefore..." just stop them and remind them they're a fucking idiot and ignore anything else they ever have to say on any matter, because they clearly can't into ethics or basic logic so their opinion is worth exactly one day-old shit.
>>2095841
Sup /plant/, can anyone recommend a good reference/guide book for indoor plants, with emphasis on terraria? I have an amazon gift card and want to green up my house a bit.
>>2095796
That's fucking retarded. You're harming the fucking plant doing that. Also, plants are capable of feeling pain as well.
>>2095807
I got a medium one from predatory plants but my fucking dog ran it over and snapped the plant in half
What are some easy to grow orchids? Especially ones that dont mind a small temperature difference between night and day?
>>2095841
>cruel
It's not fucking cruel shithead. If I were being cruel, I'd purposefully go and catch a frog to feed the trap. If that frog stumbled into a trap all on its own, sucks to suck now don't it?
>>2095898
No they're not, stupid. Pain requires neurons. You're just another edgy little kid trying to feed intelligent creatures to plants and use "muh nature!" as an excuse. And opening or pruning one leaf on a flytrap does a lot less damage to the plant than getting eaten does to the frog. Most traps don't require feeding in captivity anyway.
>>2095903
Of course it is. You're just a little edgy cunt. Claiming muh nature doesn't make something not cruel.
>If I were being cruel, I'd purposefully go and catch a frog to feed the trap.
I'm pretty sure that's what we're looking at.
>If that frog stumbled into a trap all on its own
And I'm going to stop you right there. Fuck the prime directive.
>>2095906
Alright calm down there PETA

Eat shit, edgy child.
>>2095901
Phalaenopsis hybrids
>>2095949
Just Phals? I buy them, but after the inital flower stalks die, I can never get them to bloom again. I guess I don't really mind since I like their foliage as well, but it'd be nice to see some flowers
>>2095950
Really? Mine flowers every yeat without problem. They say they need to feel a bit of col during winter to bloom, so dunno, mine is indoors all year round.
>>2095951
My house is normallyaround 79-81 throughout spring and summer and around 77 during the fall. Winter can drop to around mid sixties to low seventies, with little difference between day and night year-round. I dont think thats a big enough difference for them though.
The lack of variation seems to go completely unnoticed by my nepenthes but orchids just flat out refuse to flower.
>>2095813
Nice. Do they smell?
>>2095959
Not at all, the only smell I noticed from Sarracenia was from the tubes, specially from S. Leucophylla, it smells like maple syrup. (Pic from december, looks like crap right now)
>>2095963
maple syrup? really? Cool.
I grow nepenthes and they smell of...
moss and plant
>>2095964
Tbh you won't notice any smell unleas you stick your nose close to the "mouth" or maybe if they are producing a lot of nectar.

Amorphophallus Konjac for making konnyaku/glucomannan noodles and other 0 calorie foods.
>>2095967
I still giggle at the name
>>2095953
My house stays cooler than yours, but the location of the plants has more temperature variation than you describe, and even still I have the same problem.
Generally buy a couple small phalaenopsis in February each year, stay in bloom for 2-3 mo and then never bloom again. It's so frustrating because the plants are clearly healthy with thick vibrant foliage, but just refuse to flower again
>>2095985
Pretty much. I have like 5 phals right now at my parent's house, and none of them have flowered since I bought them. They're healthy too, based on the pics that my mom or brother or dad send me occassionally. Frustrating as hell
>>2095967
I love all "voodoo lillies"
I'm getting an A. konjac corm soon, it took so long to find one over 500 grams.
Also, here is one of my Typhonium venosum, they are just starting to grow, right after the hibernation period
>>2095995
damn nice. I love the arum inflorescence shape. Unfortunately the only thing I can grow successfully is a giant pot of cala lilies
>>2095994
Nah you're just a faggot.
>>2096012
I love that too, also, the "live cyle" of Amorpophallus and related Genera is absolutely fascinating, the way they trap their pollinators is also absolutely amazing.
Also, the phase after the "flowering phase" is quite beautiful. What looks like a small tree, is in reality one single leaf.
Absolutely great plants.
One more thing:
If you can grow Calla lillies, you might want to try T. venosum too, there are easy to grow, as long as you don´t drown them or let them dry out during their growth period (After the flowering phase)
>>2096045
Will look into it. Any suggested retailers for them?
What are good starter, low allergy plants? I kill almost everything. I already know pothos is unkillable, but what else?
>>2096063
Easy to grow?
Something like Chlorophytum would be a good idea. If you want indoors, which I'm guessing you do, you could also go a little bit more exotic and get like a Nepenthes x ventrata from a home depot or a lowes
>>2096080
Nepenthes are not a starter plant, anon.
>>2096062
Where are you from?
Also, I would say it would be better to get them from a fellow Hobbyist.
But don´t forget the downside of Voodoo lillies... the smell
>>2096090
Califagnia. I don't know if I would even want to though, because of the debilitating smell. Can they tolerate extreme sun?
>>2096098
Yes, and you can't use the usual soil most plants use, fertilizer kills it, it takes like 4 months to adapt to a new place and produce pitchers, also it needs a bit of sunlight but not too much and a bit of moisture too or it won't produce any pitchers.
>>2096109
hahaha not Ventrata. Usually a four month acclimation period is only something you'd find from like a rafflesiana or maybe a bical. Ventratas are quick to adapt, you can use foliar fertilizer and as long as you don't dry the thing out or keep it soaked, it'll be just fine. Common sense kind of things. It also doesn't need a ton of sunlight, usually a west or a south windowsill is plenty
>>2096100
sorry, I don´t know where to get some in Cali
Well, I wouldn´t put them in full sun, a few hours in the morning or evenening are ok though.
The good thing is, they only stink for a few days.
You can keep them indoors, if you spray them with water
That way, they don´t smell as bad
If you don´t spray them, you might as well drop a dead deer in your living room and dump a few turds on it.
That´s about the way they smell (yes, they smell THAT intense)
But as I said before, you can just place them outside while they bloom. Just don´t put them Into full sun all day, a few hours direct sunlight doesn´t harm them at all in my experience.

Does anyone have a suggested reading list for herbs and the like?
What do you guys think of my aloe vera plant?
The "mother" plant is the big one hanging off the edge on the right. At one point, it was the only plant in that pot and was situated upright in the middle. It's had so many children, and those plants have had children, that it's been pushed off the edge.

dump hydrochloric acid into your plants
>>2096278
Jelly you have a place for that. You really should separate and repot-give away the babies. You'll always have more then you want to deal with. Or make one a plant you use(by breaking off branches), and one an ornamental.

Did you want your ghost to have something nice to look at?
>>2096558
well, it works pretty good with Sequoiadendron, Sequoia and other very fast growing trees
but you will obviously never see their full size, you will still have a nice looking tree though.
But the slow growing olive tree? Not such a great experience.
Just something you can do for fun

>>2096675
Nope, just an almond tree, but I don't have any pics of it, I'll take one tomorrow. It grows way faster than I thought

I see. Is it just a small sapling?
>>2096681
Can we see the plant?
So /plant/,
I got an empty 20 gallon tank and I'm looking to create a pure plant setup without any animals at all.
I'm looking for things that grow fast,don't take up much space and look nice. Any ideas?
Oh the plants also should produce lots of cuttings and runners so I can put those in the tanks with animals in them.
tl;dr looking for hardy,reproductive,small plants for a terrarium setup
>>2096816
try getting some spider plants.They don't grow very big vertically, produce a shit ton of runners and are very very easy to keep alive.

anyone have experience growing heliamphora?
>>2096886
I would love to get some of those
Seeing as I have a really small pond less (less than 30 gallons)
But it does have Alot of micro fuana
Such as copepods and Daphina
Thanks for the suggestion
>>2096767
Not really. And it's as old as the other two (4 months aprox)
>>2097092
No prob. The only worry I have is getting aquatic things shipped. I haven't had the best experience with this kind of stuff. I ordered some water lilies for my parents' pond over winter break when I was visiting to help make their pond look a little nicer but the fucking retailer shipped them completely bone dry and all of them died on the way over.
>>2097122
I have a mystery tree that looks like that. Guess it isnt that mystery anymore

Also, strawberries
>>2096770
Yes. Help

I live in northern california too, i had a huge artichoke plant at my old house that did very well.
They are perennial, look up the ones best suited for your climate, but most should probably do good. Takes about a year or two to start producing if you get a baby transplant. Check out your nurseries and such.
Also asparagus is perennial and strawberries to an extent.
>>2097517
It's all good
>>2097497
Dracaena, probably D. fragrans.
Does anyone know any plants that would do good in a vivarium? Specifically with my hissing cockroaches? Im trying to turn pic related into more of a self contained and permanent environment. Relative humidity is 70-80%. Im thinking of adding some green anoles evauntually and getting corkwood for the background so i can graft airplants and such. Also im going to get a false bottom and proper soil for the plants to grow in (currently everythings mostly in pots)
Right now i have a croton, wandering jew, pothos, some kind of lily and a bromelid.
Looking for things that will stay under about 12 inches. Also what would be an appropriate light to use. I was gifted this aquarium by my brother and the default light that came with it is a t8 flouresecent bulb. Some of the plants look like theyre growing but the wandering jew looks kinda leggy. Any thoughts?
>>2097548
Fuck sorry about the upside down pic.
>>2096100
i live in northern cali and i had a voodoo lily planted in my backyard. It got morning light and did pretty good, got a little bit burnt but still looked nice. I think its just because it flowered right around the time summer was getting hot.
I got mine from a local nursery as a bulb, if you live by a nursery called "green acres" they should have a healthy bulb for sale. I planted mine next to the neighbors i hated, and no joke these flowers smell like dead body. I like to think its still there without anyone realizing where the smell comes from.
>>2097549
Nepenthes Rajah
Just kidding. Perhaps a small orchid? mini cattleyas are quite nice IMO. Chlorophytum is just an all-round decent terrarium plant. Shit spreads like wildfire and has some nice foliage.
>>2097567
Although I suppose you could keep a small nepenthes in there. Small nep. Alatas produce pitchers that are far too small for you to worry about your roaches becoming a meal
>>2097553
Yeah, I don't think I could do that. I'm a student and I'm in an apartment right now so...
>>2097570
Yeah definitely dont try it. If your college has a garden sneak one in.
Curious, what's /Plant/'s favorite plant?
There doesn't need to be a general. There was never a need for a general. Look at what happened to /g/ over the past year and a half; it's all just the same recycled thread over and over again. Don't start threads just because there is not currently a specifically themed thread; start threads that you can actually contribute to.
That said, plants are nice. I'm trying bonsai; not sure how it'll go. I need to repot this one

What fertilizers should I give my Phals
>>2098788
You know, I've had mine for 5-6 years and I've never given them fertilizer. I just soak them in water for a few hours every couple of weeks. They bloom every spring.
>>2095714
What's up... I've got trees for people if they want them.
>>2095967
I have a ton of those things... never eaten them, though.
>>2096509
I love this.

I'm looking for a saucer magnolia. I'll be planting tulip poplar, red bud, and dogwood this fall as well.
>>2099009
Saucer magnolia should be easy to find, but I don't have any. Where are you? With those trees, you could be anywhere on the east coast.
I have:
Ironwood
Beech
Chestnut Oak
Deodar Cedar
Japanese Maple
Camelia
Southern Magnolia
Live Oak
...Florida Torreya...
That's all I can remember right now.
>>2099466
>Southern Magnolia
I've tried to get the seeds from mine to grow the past 2 years and can't get them to. Also the birds eat most of the seeds before I can get them.
>>2099500
One rule about magnolia: Don't dry them.
Just go straight from the pod to the dirt. Mine came up 90 percent this year. Oaks and magnolias are very sensitive to drying.

VFTs are the most annoyingly finicky fucking things on the planet. They require temperate conditions, full sun, pure water, and a winter dormancy period.

And if you're wondering what the thing I posted is, Wittia amazonica. Another finicky fucking thing. But not as finicky as VFTs.

>>2099466
Sorry for late response, I'm in southeastern In, temperate zone 6a I believe.
I won't be planting anything until fall, and right now I'm focusing mainly on ornamentals.
I have fruit trees that produce, but they are quite old. I've considered planting some slow growing hardwoods close to these fruit trees, but nothing is set in stone yet.
Thank you.
>muh cherry tree in bloom last spring
>>2099777
I live in western washington and my cherry trees are already done blooming.
Shit's not right.
>>2099783
So far my cherries and peach are in bloom. They've dealt with frost and freezing temps, sleet and hail, and high winds.
Somehow they still have blooms.
Guys, I have a question
Has this bitch finally reached flowering size?
it's an A. konjac corm
Can anybody identify this flower?
>>2098107
Westland aquatic compost
>>2099537
I sure do. Then they go straight into a protected group pot.
>>2099777
Is your aim to replace them, or to grow with them? I wouldn't plant anything but alliums near fruit trees if I still wanted fruit from them.
>>2100210
Replace them. Originally I thought about planting slow growing hardwoods close to my apples and peach trees. The other trees I mentioned are going elsewhere on the property.
I believe my larger, older fruit trees are 25 years old, and still producing. I was under the impression I could plant a hardwood that ten years from now not be very big, and if the fruit trees are still going good, I could transplant.
You would know more about it than me, care to share your thoughts?
>>2099714
If he lives in a dry place, get him a Nepenthes x Ventrata
If he lives in a very sunny, humid place, like the Southeaster US, get him a S. Flava or Leucophylla to grow outside
>>2097548
Get some daylight grade CFL bulbs, and then some clip on desk lamps. Make sure the inside of the lamps are metal and as reflective as possible.
Trust me, this works, even if it is "ghetto" as hell for anyone in any kind of hobby. Just ask anyone in the Aquarium General. Many tank owners use CFL bulbs for their planted tanks.
>>2100216
I know, that the get much bigger, the biggest one I've seen had well over 5 kilograms
But I wanted to know if mine finally reached flowering size
>>2100343
your "artichoke shaped succulents" should be some kind of Sempervivum
at least the ones in the post you mentioned are
>>2100355
>5 kilograms of Arum goodness
I came
>>2100243
So, it depends on the species, but, in general, transplanting a tree that old would have a pretty low success rate and cost a lot of money.
You could, however, plant as you've just described. How slow growing? Does it need to be native?
>>2100355
See what happens with that protuberance.
OP here
Surprised the thread is still alive. Should there be a second one when this inevitably dies?
>>2095813
And it opens
>>2100366
>transplanting a tree that old
Nah man. I would be transplanting the 5-10 year old hardwood, not the established fruit tree. This is only if the fruit tree is still producing, and the hardwood is 10' or less.
Basically I'm thinking my old fruit trees may not be worth a fuck in ten years, I just want to have something else started before I cut them down. However if the fruit trees are still going good, then I can transplant the hardwood somewhere else. Sorry for the mix up.
>>2100441
Oh yeah, then I agree. The partial shade afforded by the fruit tree is a luxury most young trees don't get. They should do well.

>>2102242
It's the mix I use that has given me better results.
Does anyone have any experience growing high humidity, like rain forest plants, in an enclosed space such as an aquarium minus the water?
I had a spare tank and I was thinking of trying this.
>>2095807
Why was your dog driving?
>>2102353
Yes. I used them to grow smaller nepenthes, or juvenile ones with good results, right up until they got too big. The thing about using any sort of container that's completely sealed on one end is to know EXACTLY how much water to use, or you will overwater and the standing water will kill your plants.
>>2102358
I put it on a table, dog knocked it off the table and trampled it
>>2102353
Im actually working on this myself right now. Look up vivariums, basically planted aquariums in which you can decide if you want pets in it or not.
Im ordering soil right now along with isopods and springtails, they help clean and cycle nutrients in the tank. Also you probably want a false bottom to help give you get an idea of how much water it needs and help the soil breathe.
>>2096985
Yeah. Growing H. minor right now without any issue. I need to update my setup though as I'm receiving H. purpurascens, H. chimantensis, and H. collina.
>>2102517
What kind of light and temperature conditions do you give your H. minor?
>>2102563
I grow it under three cfls which I still don't think is enough light. Day temps don't go above 75 and night temps are usually mid 60s. I use an ultrasonic humidifier and a fan to get that temp.
>>2102515
Would love to do something like this

All my want.
Yeah thats about the same route im going with mine too. Already have some airplants and a bromelid that are doing pretty well so far in their enclosure. Would love to locate a type of mini orchids though.
Currently am housing 7 hissing cockroaches, which are going to be the inhabitants of my vivarium. Substrate, microfauna and cork wood background are coming in the mail. Im pretty excited to say the least. Ideally I'll never have to clean my tank again ot
>>2097828
I'm a bonsaifag. Put the Japanese Maple outside. Otherwise it will die. It's too dark inside. Keep it outside in winter too, it needs dormancy.
If you're gonna wire it, put some bends into it. That's why you wire bonsai. At this point there's no real point to wiring yet though, it's too young. Give it a couple of years outside and it'll be something really damn nice though.
Would this stuff be okay to use as substrate for Drosera spp? Should I mix it with something?
>>2103525
You should be fine just using that moss.
>>2103576
Okay, thanks.
>>2103525
To be safe, I would mix in 1 part perlite per every 2 parts moss
>>2103588
Also make sure you chop it up, so you don't have foot long strands of moss in your pot

Ok that's all. I don't want to spam up your thread. Laterz.
Hey,
So I'm decently new at keeping plants. I've had succulents and beginner stuff before I've kept and grown well, but now I have a money tree that keeps drooping. I don't know why. It has African Violet soil and I water it whenever the soil starts to get dry and it is in an east facing window. It grows a lot of new branches, but they droop a little instead of fan out. Not my pic but it looks similar to this.
>>2103770
no it's fine man
>>2104159
humidity?
How dry is your home?
So I'm contemplating buying an 8x8x8 exo-terra and making it into a plant tank. My only idea so far is a moss tank. What would be a good centerpiece?
>>2104159
it needs a bigger pot. id also suggest feeding it something. you can mix some used coffee grounds into the soil of the new pot, it will act as a time-release food source for the plant. if you happen to have a fish tank, give water from it to your plants. and obviously theres plenty of stuff you can buy too, but im cheap.
Can anyone help identify this tree? I found it growing in my parents' front yard. They say it sprouted up randomly about a year ago when they planted a sage bush. It's already probably 9-10 feet tall and has some fairly long thorns on it. It's in Southern California if that helps.

Small sundew?
What's your guys' favorite plants?
I am so sick of these goddamn things. They are a constant pest on my cat palm. I get rid of them completely but then they come back in a month. I take my entire plant outside and completely cover every inch of it with alcohol/hydrogen peroxide + soap water solution using a rag and check it every single day for a few weeks, every inch of the plant and dab away any remaining bugs. But as soon as I'm sure they're gone, they come back in a matter of weeks. I am angry. :(
Has anyone successfully gotten completely rid of these things? Do I have to trash my plant? I've been battling them for 6 months, since a little after I bought the plant.

Remove all potting soil and spray the plant's roots with a hose and also the plant itself. You're removing all the pests on the leaves, but you're not stopping the actual problem as mealybugs live usually in the roots. Post results. Happy growing!
>>2104891
While you're at it you can let the plant underwater for a few days. The remaining ones will drown.
>>2105147
Do most plants tolerate this? A couple days underwater? Specifically curious about cacti.
>>2104845
Salamander
>>2105155
I never tried with cacti, just tropical orchids, small palmtrees and sarracenia
So my S. Flava got attacked by a fungus, I removed the affected part and kept treating it with fungicide, but the fungus kept developing (slower, that's it) so I had to remove another part...
What should I do? Separate all the plants divisions and change the substrate or see if the remaining parts are healthy?
>>2105248
My Sarracenia purpurea had the same "illness" it died.
If I were you, I would just trow away the affected plant
I don't think, that it spreads trough the substrate, because the other sarracenias, which were also in the same "tub", did not get the fungus.
Also, why are all your Sarracenias (the ones shown in the thread) so big already?
Mine are just starting to grow their "flower" and do not yet have pitchers, only their "winter leaves".
well...maybe it's because spring was really cold until now.. hopefully it gets warmer soon
>>2105281
Well my S x catesbaei got this too and I managed to save three small divisions that survived and 3 years later have finally reached adult size, but I didn't want to resort to tearing it to pieces.
About their growth, I guess that Majorca has a good weather for them. I'm not doing anything special.
Have one of my x Wrigleyanas first pitcher
>>2104891
>>2105147
Thanks! I do hose down the leaves making sure to get in crevices, but I haven't done it much to the soil. Since the soapy water goes into the soil I was hoping it might take care of any in there, but I guess not. Tomorrow I'll do my usual alcohol treatment and try letting it sit in water for a few days and post back. :)
I wonder if that slime mold anon is still around.
It's been raining the past 2 weeks so the slime molds should be appearing about now.
>>2105583
More importantly, has he fucked one yet?
I don't have a yard, but I wanted to get into gardening. How easy is it to grow stuff in a garage? Mostly looking to start some herbs like basil, sage, etc.
>>2105633
You're going to need a lot of artificial lighting
>>2104891
>>2105147
I thought I was supposed to drown the soil stuck to it, not just the roots. I just came back here after doing this. Will it still work this way?
>>2105633
Do you have a window in there?
Is this a mushroom growing in my sundew? Is it bad?
What happens if you fuck a pitcher plant?
Will it dissolve your semen?
>>2106474
I remember doing a set-up like that in an environmental sciences project.
It failed horribly.
>>2106726
It would lay an egg and hatch into a Bellsprout after you walk around with it for a while.
>>2106736
What went wrong?
does anyone grow cocnuts?
>>2107096
I guess, you mean coconuts
tried it, but failed
It was about 1.2 meters high, but got brown and died in a matter of days...
>>2107177
what happened to it? I want to grow one as a houseplant but I heard they're very hard to maintain
Hello, /plant/
I live in Southeast Texas and want to plant something outside in a pot. Any cool plants you would recommend? Also, this would be my first time ever attempting to grow anything.
>>2107546
Try dracaena
>>2107547
Thanks. I'm going to check them out tomorrow. Where do you guys but your plants? I know Home Depot sells aome, but I don't know if that's the best place to look for plants.
>>2107551
>Home Depot
kek. although for common houseplants, I suppose home depot will be sufficient. But I grow tropical plants, and almost exclusively nepenthes, so I tend to buy everything online. I don't really know any place to get plants
venus flytraps are so cool but I kill them every time, they need super special care and I'm in the vancouver/seattle area, can't plant them outside
>>2107586
>planting a dionea in regular dirt
you should stop trying to grow carnivorous plants and grow something that suits your simple mind a little better. I recommend grass.
>>2107588
>regular dirt
>implying
mcfucking kill yourself petunia reaper
>>2107610
lol I'm talking to you dumbass. I've grown carnivorous plants since I was 13. And the pacific northeast is perfect for those plants, high humidity and a lot of sun
>>2107611
>northeast
Hope that's a typo butt snuffler, Seattle's on the west coast, it's too cold for Venus flytraps outside most of the time
Button me up bitch?? I'll flip ya like an omelette and take you out to dinner and tell you I love you

You seem to have forgotten about the fungi master race
>>2105248
I finally divided it and repoted in pure sphagnum, let's see if the divisions survive
>>2105920
Yeah, I think that would work.
>>2105243
You kept a sarracenia underwater for a few days?
You madman. Did any of the pitchers die from being waterlogged or did you have a psittacnia
>>2105248
It was a purpurea hybrid and it survived all winter underwater. It's alive and well actually.
And I have a psittacina too, is in this thread, I keep it like the semiaquatic plant it is.
decided to post an update on my fern wall.
