Re: for the road
 

beautiful flowers. wonder if any who have tried growing in our tropical climate?

Re: for the road
 

They can grow in our climate! 2 part perlite: 1 part sphagnum moss as medium. Water tray 1 cm. Artificial lighting: Phillips T8 865. 14 hours light. 10 hours dark.

bonjour

yes you can grow some ping in your country 'out door',nevertheless you should take some precautions.

- no very sodden substrat( rot risk), espiecially when they are in dormancy
- not under the rain , and in shaded place( or here in europe in morning sun)
- use a calcareous( gypsum) mineral substrat to have a good capillarity and not a sodden substrat.
- make to them a dormancy ( november to may here in europe) with a substrat just slightly wet

I use no sphagnum for the mexican ping or temperate ( except some one)

OMG ain't those flower gorgeous!! piscesilim...you selling your pings...?cute!!!!!

Re: for the road
 

Very very beautifull.....

If I using 2' tank, how many T8 needs to use and how far from the light to plants?

Please advice

Thank for sharing

Re: for the road
 

If you grow only few plants. 1 x T8 is enough.

6-7 inches from the light.

Re: for the road
 

Dear Piscesilim,

Noted.

The plant needs "light" or "heat" or both?
How do we know either enough or not?

Thank you

Re: for the road
 

Light.

If red plant become green , light not enough.

in situ a lot of them are naturely green , just some one are born red .

the sun increase the red colour , activate the "antocyanate" and the "carotene" into the botanical cell , it is a normal reaction to the UV.

here in FRANCE with a naturel light ( just the morning sun ) you have this red color *biggrin2*

Re: for the road
 

YOU mean UVA or UVB? Do you think that a P.emarginata x 'weser' will get any colour? Thanks :D

Re: for the road
 

in situ you have 3 UV differentiated by their wavelength

UVA:320 to 400 mn
UVB:290 to 290 mn
UVC : <280 mn Stopped by the check mark ozone

the UVA here are dangerous all the journey
the UVB just form 12 to16 h they are more dangerous because the more penetrating than UVA

for me the morphological standard from x'Weser '( the real) and emarginata for the leaves are green.

now if they are invariably in the sun they will even turn pink or red *biggrin2*

Re: for the road
 

Oh thanks:2thumbup:. Do you find out which UV makes plants grow? Is it UVA or UVB?

Re: for the road
 

for a 100% radiation incident on a plant:

you have 42% for infrared,4% for the UV ( all) and 54% for a visible light
for infrared: 45% to 42% used to sweating
for the visible light : 27 % for the plant , 1% for the photosynthesis ,the others reflected

I think that's how it happens,but I may be mistaken

Re: for the road
 

Dear Jeff,

Thank for the sharing.

Now I just know why my Pinguicula change colour from Red to Green and from Green to Red when I move it from 1 place to other.

Thank you

Re: for the road
 

I think just more or less light .

what species or hybrids have you ?

jeff

Re: for the road
 

Dear jeff,

Thank you

Re: for the road
 

did you get flower on your mexican ?

jeff

Re: for the road
 

Dear Jeff,

Yes. But do not have seed.
Any idea on how to get the seed if I only have 1 type?
As my understand, we needs to cross pollination (2 family) to the seed.:shy:


Thank you

Re: for the road
 

if I have the flower picture ,may be I can determinate your plant .

if your plant are an hybrid , it is difficult to have seeds , use rather the leaves cutting

Re: for the road
 

it is an hybrid may be a x'Sethos' but without conviction actually there are too hybrids mostly not determined when we know not all the taxa 'in situ '

Dear Jeff,

Do you have any seed for Pinguicula?
Can I exchange with you with D.intermedia or D. burmannii?
