Are you bottom watering that Nepenthes with that pot? I only ask because I had a bad experience doing bottom/tray watering, and was wondering your results (I also had to swap to LFSM for my Neps).

I also had a huge cluster of D. Spatulata like that and they were super cranky, ended up having to separate all of them - it’s like your plants are 100% opposite mine!

Yup. Both of mine were on my carnosa. Maybe later this year (once the fans are off).

Lucky duck. I had two hoya blooms starting this year… and both fell off before they bloomed. They appear to be super fragile, ceiling fan blew one of them off, the other got knocked off when I was spraying it for fungus gnats.

Absolutely! I need to know more about my own local stuff (I’m in New England. We have trees and poison ivy, so that’s all I usually identify).

The Pine Barrens have a bunch of cool stuff! at least two different Drosera - Intermedia and Rotundifolia. Also Sarracenia (North American Pitcher Plants) and Utricularia (Bladderworts) - one of Charles Darwin’s favorite carnivores - those little dudes live around most of the world except Antarctica. That seems like a super hiking spot, I’ll have to visit there with the wife and go on a carnivore expedition.

Edit - wife is super excited to go, and we’re going to try to get there this year! Thank you so much! This is the kind of stuff I found on reddit, and I’m glad to find it here on Lemmy ;)

Working from home helps, you can notice stuff right away. Once you get it zeroed in, a lot of it is just water and make sure the timer ticks on for the light.

Yup! Drosera is a sundew! It sounds pretentious AF, but a lot of plant nerds stick to Latin names because some plant common names get thrown around to plants that aren’t part of that genus or species, and that causes some problems researching care and needs of the plant. After a while you just stop thinking about it.

If I had a nickel for everything named a cactus that isn’t…

If you want to know more, just ask! I’ll talk about carnivorous stuff all damn day.

Deleted four accounts of 3-11 years. Yup. Bye. I ain’t waiting around to see reddit turn into “myspace after tom”

I deleted one 11 year account and 3 three year accounts. The amount of absolute repeat garbage bots on all my homepage, and throughout popular was so bad, it just became Facebook, but angrier.

An average orca weights 6600 to 8800 pounds. Using 7700 pounds as the weight of our orca to bananafy, at 3 bananas per pound = 23,100 bananas per orca.

So the asteroid is 1,940,400 bananas.
