Sorcerer's Apprentice I got a few years ago from Fox Valley. I grow it in water and bright light. Mine has a lot more green compared to Littlefrog's picture from a couple weeks ago.

I'll second this. too much water or water at the wrong time and they will turn into mushy snot literally overnight. They have an annual growth cycle: summer = dormant; little or no water. fall = begin growth; OK to water. the leaves begins to separate and if they are mature, this is when...

I have persistent mealies that need killing.... how should one apply insecticide/fungicide to the plants in S/H? Dunk or spray? Rinse while wet, or let dry or rinse not necessary? Should one worry about the chemicals left in the water in the bottom of container?

Hmmm... Pinnochio x philippinense glaucophyllum x philippinense primulinum x philppinense Thanks Heather, Jason Fischer and Greenpaph!

Sounds good to me! Thanks Doc O! Thanks Jon!

Can anyone help me Id this paph? I purchased it two years ago at Trader Joes believe it or not. The photos are from this summer.

Hi Stephen, Where you live you could be able to grow these outdoors year round and let nature take its course. but if you grow indoors they can go in refrigerator for a few months. keep moist. I don't let them freeze. Dionaea muscipila = dormant, you can put in refrigerator in a plastic bag...

umm..I'll let you bite me:wink: Hi Marco, They do grow cool-intermediate. The flower size on dracs is various but usually medium to tiny. Drac iricolor is on the tiny side about the size of dime or smaller; Drac gorgonella is about the size of a quarter; vampira is a little smaller than a...

Thanks for the warm welcome. I never posted before because I was afraid that you were all bad people who bite but it's true, you all are good people who don't bite. I had a lot of problems with my orchids this summer. The Draculas are in trouble now because of summer heat and I am also in the...
