@TheConservator Do you have a greenhouse? Going to your Oasis it doesn’t look there is a duplicate of any plant. Wide variety of several plant types. Love that❤️
@TooUnique1 no just my house is my greenhouse. I definately like a diverse selection of plants i guess lol.
Lots of great windows for plants. And my bedroom is almost a sunroom. But i have alot of grow lights too. @TooUnique1
Those pings look stunning!! The nepenthes leaves as well ✨️ I love it when their leaves turn red 😄 In the photo of the pitchers, what type of nepenthes is that? I love it!
Here's some photos from my garden this week (including a new Pinguicula that has been on my plantlist for a bit now!):
Not too many Sarracenia photos at the moment unfortunately because the mealybugs earlier this year deformed all of their pitchers and then the rain/wind knocked them down 🫠 Hoping the late summer growth is good atleast 😌

@TheConservator thanks! I always wonder if the plant means to eat itself, lol. I have been obsessed with pings lately! Ive had 2 (P. "Aphrodite" and P. moctezumae) for roughly a year now and I've managed to keep them alive so far. Ive just been watering them weekly with my Nepenthes and its been good.
I dont think any of the ones that I have currently go through their dry dormancy phase in winter, but yeah -- there's not much info watering. Its a guessing game 😅

@TheConservator woah! Ive read about that before but couldn't really find many photos! Thats so cool to see!!
Your heliamphora are absolutely beautiful !!

@TheConservator question:, what's the humidity that they're in (if you know) and how often do you water them? Just wondering since I've been struggling with mine 😅
@Merranda theyre all in that climatarium of mine. It has cold mist humidity at 73% lights on 14 hours a day.
It is so amazing tbh! 1970s grow box and everything i put in there does excelkent. But as far as your watering question. I dont have to water in it really. I just fill pitchers. If anything stuff stays to wet. Thats why it gets a weekly cleaning @Merranda
@TheConservator thank you so much for the info! That helps a lot. The climatarium is super cool, I remember you posting about it! I will definitely take some notes.
Mine is currently in a 20gal reptile tank, which works super well for plants. I have a humidifier that mists every 2 hrs for 30 mins, so the humidity stays up. (~70-80%) The lights are on from sunrise to sunset so it changes w/ the seasons
I water weekly, but I think for my heli im definitely going to water a bit more because I think that might be the issue.

@TheConservator I try to keep them full, but because my plant is still super tiny it dries out. Do the pitchers die if there's no water in them?
@Merranda i was also expirementing with these self watering pots. I think for a greenhouse setting or even outside. Those would be awesome! But in my climatarium its just not needed so all i use em for now is a catch pan. Theyre potted in 2parts rung out tight packed spag to 1 part fine perlite.
@TheConservator those would probably work well! Especially for me since im horrible with remembering to water my indoor plants 🤦♀️ Do helis not mind standing water? For some odd reason I was thinking that they dont like sitting in standing water.
@TheConservator ohhhh okay, that makes sense! My heli is in long spag & perlite so I will have to try that now then! I think the issue def has to do with watering
@TheConservator now I’m ready to order grow lights. I figure this winter will kill the ones that haven’t been killed yet. Here’s a picture of my plant stand. The shelves are wood so I should be able to attach them right? As you can see, I’ve already lost some because it’s a southern window but it has this high overhang. Which is nice as it shades the kitchen but not so nice when you want sun for your plants🥴
@TooUnique1 most lights send several hanging options. Theyre really not very heavy even so 1 option they usually send are just double stick squares of tape. It shoukd he easy to attach them
@TheConservator thanks so much for responding to my question. Remember you giving 2 types of grow lights I think 1 was sensi and there was another one but I can’t remember the name? If I remember correctly I need full spectrum lights as well as their being LED lights.
Yes full spectrum high ppfd is best for cacti. Barrina was prob the other brand. They lack a little in spectrum but are still fine.
