caseyhoo: CP garden :p (Read 306 times)

Full Member « Thread Started on 1 Mar, 2008, 8:11 »  I place them ontop of my mailbox. And they receive 4~5hours of direct sunlight. And the environment is quiet hot.... d. burmanii, d. spatulata, d. adelae , flytrap，sara, P. primuliflora love the environment. I think, 'HOT' kill my d. paradoxa, and going to kill my d. binata. Few days ago, I just added a transpalent plastic on top of the tray and put some thing on top of the plastic. Hope that it will cool down the environment... Im trying feed by CPs with blood worm. Hope it will help in their growing. « Last Edit: 1 Mar, 2008, 8:23 by caseyhoo » Best Regards, KC Hoo Wanted List They are nice : D. aliciae, D. brevicornis, D. derbyensis, D. falconeri, D. lanata, D. villosa, D. lowriei, D. menziesii -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- strath76 Full Member heat shouldn't be a problem for binata as long as humidity remains fairly high. I have grown them at temperatures over 40 degrees without any problems. the sarra's should be affected before the binata. What media are you using? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- piscesilim Global Moderator « Reply #2 on 1 Mar, 2008, 14:27 » No. Hot not kill D. paradoxa. But hot give them life! « Last Edit: 1 Mar, 2008, 14:28 by piscesilim » Link to Post - Back to Top Logged Lim -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- caseyhoo Full Member « Reply #3 on 1 Mar, 2008, 14:31 » then, must be something wrong... May be as what strath76 said, huminity... Media that I use is spagnum moss... « Last Edit: 1 Mar, 2008, 14:36 by caseyhoo » Best Regards, KC Hoo Wanted List They are nice : D. aliciae, D. brevicornis, D. derbyensis, D. falconeri, D. lanata, D. villosa, D. lowriei, D. menziesii -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- piscesilim Global Moderator « Reply #4 on 1 Mar, 2008, 14:41 » They do go dormant but not dying. Some of my D. paradoxa look dying at last raining season. All of them come alive with the present of the hot sun this few weeks. They become more red and bigger. « Last Edit: 1 Mar, 2008, 14:43 by piscesilim » Lim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- strath76 Full Member « Reply #5 on 1 Mar, 2008, 16:25 » Quote: Media that I use is spagnum moss... I would try changing binata into a peat based media. I use 50/50 peat sand but the sand could be substituted for perlite, whatever is easier for you to come by. this mix works well for me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- caseyhoo Full Member « Reply #6 on 1 Mar, 2008, 17:37 » I will do what you told me ASAP. Thanx... BTW, may i know what if I seldom change water? How frequence I should change water?

If you are using tap water, you might want to flush the plants and change the water as the tap water in KL has alot of mineral content. From your picture I can see you have quite a good filter in the background. Should be ok unless you see mineral/calcium (whitish dust) buildup at the sides of the pots and tray. If you do not change the water that often, look out for mosquito larva. Don't want it to be a breeding ground for adeas mosquitos huh. « Last Edit: 1 Mar, 2008, 18:55 by David » ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- tarence Global Moderator « Reply #8 on 3 Mar, 2008, 11:31 » Casey: i use tap water and change the tray water twice a week when i`m free. at the very least, i change it once a week. it`s more to avoid mosquito larvae from forming as the water still seems to be quite clear if i stretch it to 2 weeks. one of my d.paradoxa also seems to be going dormant. but amazingly, it`s shooting out a flower stalk. i agree with what Lim says. the current heat is activating this sundew. i plant my d.binata in LFS and also peat moss around the roots area. Some are grown in pure LFS. to me, the d.binata is not a fussy CP but humidity s/be high. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- caseyhoo Full Member « Reply #9 on 3 Mar, 2008, 17:13 » I keep a female betta in the water tray to control the mosquito larvae problem. And I seldom do water change, roughly 1~2 weeks or may be longer . Everyday, I top up it with overnight tap water... May I know it will causing any problem?

I`m just wondering why your d.binata & paradoxa isn`t doing well. The sarracenias in the pic look fine though. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- caseyhoo Full Member « Reply #11 on 5 Mar, 2008, 0:06 » I'm not sure too... Those sara is doing really fine.... When Im free, will separate them and setup the others water tray. That time, will have sara, ping, drosera for exchange.
