I got myself a dozen of althaea officinalis (english name is marshmallow i guess ?) seeds and got them waiting for germination, wish me luck.

It's really sad, Dionaea are set for the same fate as axolotls, extinct in the wild but surviving thanks to hobbyists. BTW mine are starting to wake up, except for these because I kept them wiith a shade cloth.

Winter dormancy party is over. Brother confirmed my purpurea is starting to grow again. Good thing ssp. venosa isn't a heavy sleeper

>>2309227
Unfortunately axolotls are no genetically pure remnants of the wild population. Scientists crossbred them with an albino neotenic tiger salamander to get the albino gene. Since crossing colormorphs was common practice there are almost no pure individuals left barring some being specifically maintained by conservation groups.

I guess a similar thing is happening with Dionaea and unusual looking cultivars but at least the mutations come from within the species.

>>2309686
nice
dormancy will still last at least 2 months here
hope all survived, we have a really strong winter this year

>>2309691
this, a better example of "extinct in the wild, surviving through the hobby" would be Simandoa conserfariam, a roach species

Oh, I didn't lnow this, I thought it was a mutation that occurred in a captive individual and was spread throughout the population.

I think we'll always have wild fenotype dionaea at least.

Trees I suppose, windy leaves and cracking branches are pretty loud. Unless that was just the start of a joke you were making...

Does anyone know how long/far I should let my seeds germinate before putting them in a pot?
>im growing hot peppers if that helps

>>2310318
It wasn't a joke, I'm actually curious if there are plants that or are designed to make noises.

I have a 55 gallon fish tank that I've set up for growing, grow light and everything. I'm looking to fill it with some ferns but I don't know what type or a good place to purchase spores. I'm looking for something under 2 feet that would grow indoors in the mid Atlantic. Light isn't an issue I can adjust it to suit whatever it needs. Anyone have recommendations?

I know very little about plants but would like to grow something from seed this year. I was hoping I could ask a few questions.

I am living in Japan until around August - is that enough time to get to see some results? A flower to smell or a vegetable to eat would be great.

Also I will be growing it/ them in hanging baskets. What is worth planting there?

I've seen potatoes grown in bags. How long does this take?

I've owned the book "The Savage Garden" for many years now but never got around to growing my own insectivorous plants. Is this a good source of information as to growing them?

>>2308951

My aloe vera has turned brown but it is still plump. I haven't watered it in a couple weeks but I am wondering if it is because of too much sun. I stuck my finger in and its dry all the way down so I gave it water and moved it out of the windowsill I had it in(because I realize it is a little drafty) Just wondering what caused it. Waiting on it to hopefully green up.

>>2310818
What part of it turned brown? The leaves? Or has the growing point of the plant died?

aren't cactuses fungi?

The bottom portion near when the stem connected to the leaves. I moved it from the window into light shade that is warmer and it has made a full recovery.

How do I grow Rosemary indoors? Can I buy seeds at Walmart or Lowes and do that?

>>2311949
Yeah that sounds like aloe vera. Pro tip: If it begins to die again, just cut the dead parts off and stick the green parts in dirt. You'll have a new plant within a week or two

>>2312060
Do you have a window with lots of direct sunlight?
If you don't, do not bother.

Just ordered some carob seeds off of ebay. Plan on trying to grow a tree up as bonsai.

Most good books are out of print. The best cactus books were only released in limited runs and can go for like $400 used.

Digital transcription is a godsend.

>>2312477
Mallorca. It's not that hot despite what brits and germans believe, lowland neps wouldn't survive here outside. But high/low hybrids seem to handle our winters pretty well with a little protection. Specially Rebecca Soper, that plant is extremely resilient.

Did a pretty terrible job of splitting and repotting these, a lot of the wee little leaves are buried and/or eating perlite right now, also I did a poor job of filling the peat moss back into the hole after putting the plant in it, hopefully the monsoon of water I poured on them solved some of those issues.
Tomorrow will tell.

>>2312550
I also ripped some of the roots and used dog water to wash the root ball because we don't own a rainwater tank. Hopefully they don't develop fleas

Oh it fuckin' is hot. Anywhere that doesn't have winters routinely below-freezing is hellishly hot by my standards. Neps are equatorial tropical plants, just the idea of any surviving outside long-term is insane to me.
>>2312550
Doesn't look too bad desu

>>2312550
They look pretty well. Dionaea always do this "bending our leaves tho annoy you" thing when reppoted, so don't worry if you had to leave some under the substrate.

>>2312914
I guess it's nice to grow Neps outside. But I can't grow my fav flower here, tulips. Well and my flytraps are already awakening from dormancy, which I don't know if it's good or bad.

Those three are basically the triforce of common bulletproof hybrids, there are few other hybrids as mainstream ans mass-produced. You could also try 'Bloody Mary'/'Lady Luck', x hookeriana, 'Louisa', they're all quite common too. Any ventricosa, maxima or robcantleyi hybrids would also likely do well for you, they can really take a beating.
>>2314863
Blimey, I can only assume so

>>2314482
Let's see... Ampullari x Ventricosa is pretty much killable only by fire.
Robcantleyi is pretty damn near unkillable too. Basically anything with Ventricosa is probably invicible, actually.

Thank you guys, I finally settled for a Aristolochioides x ventricosa. Ventricosa gives the plant strength and aristolochioides makes it not look like "nursery hybrid #67"

I tried Bloody Mary once, it survived but it almost died. Louisa too. Robcantleyi is impossible to get here atm. Hookeriana is the lowlest of lowlanders, it dies if temp goes under 15ºC for too long.

My friend also has Spatulata x gymnamphora for sale but it was more expensive and boring looking, though it seemed hardier.

I hope they recover soon and I can spam you with pics of them like I do with dionaea

Ok so I bought this plant last year as a Stapelia variegata on eBay, but now I'm sure it isn't that. The question is: what is this plant?

Also, it hasn't grown an inch since August

I got three more pics after this.

So about a year ago I was messing around outside and I aciddentally chopped into a root in the garden out front. I picked it up and was messing with it because it had a small green leaf sprouting from it, and I thought it looked interesting. So I was still holding it for a while just doing other stuff, and when I was done I tossed it into the old waterfountain outside. I didn't think much of it till I came across it a couple weeks ago, still growing.

It's since grown into this, having survived through the winter and completely submerged, and I was wandering if anyone could identify it for me.

It's a hardy little thing, and if I can, I would like to add it to a small aquarium.

And this is the area in which I found it. It's winter right now, and there are other plants out here too, so I'm not sure if this particular group is the root system it came from.

They are not the same plant, but I know Anthurium can survive if grown entirely in water, though the plants may be stunted when compared to traditionally-grown plants and therefore not thrive

I've got a lipstick plant cutting in a vase of water right now, it's been here for about 2 days and it's well... Staying alive. How long do you expect until I get roots? Is there anything I can do to speed this up besides rooting hormone? Thanks.

>>2321680
Be patient young one. It'll all happen in due time.
Plants want to live and are very resilient.

Do you absolutely have to make an amaryllis go dormant? Mine doesn't seem to want to. When I was first given it, it flowered with two stalks, then the leaves eventually yellowed and it went dormant. When I brought it back the next year it only grew leaves. It kept growing leaves for a year and a half at least, maybe even 2 years. Then recently it started growing way more leaves, and today I noticed an actual flower popping up. I'm wondering why it didn't go dormant. I also thought they only flowered after being dormant...but I'm still really happy. If it doesn't go dormant in the next few months should I just force it? Or will it die back on its own now that it's finally flowering after so long? If it doesn't is that really a bad thing? Can't find any information on this online

That should be plenty of time. Quick vegetables are radishes, chard, and peppers, easy to grow and fun to take care of. Herbs like basil and cilantro can grow within that time too. I've never grown in growing baskets before, but you still have plenty of time to see results.

My husband used the cut stem of celery and put it in water. It seems to be doing well, but we've never done this before. Is it worth it? Does it actually grow to size?
If not we'll still keep it as a plant, I'm just wondering if it'll produce enough edible stem.

Like Venus Flytraps, dormancy for 'Amaryllis' (I'm going to bet it's actually Hippeastrum sp., of the family Amaryllidaceae) results - generally - in better growth but it's not impossible for it to just bloom after a period of growth. It will naturally go dormant, but you can help it out by slowly reducing water, temperature, light intensity and fertilizer input

I've done this twice. In water it grows really well. Then when I put it in soil, their growth slows, and they eventually yellow and die. Tell me your results please!
Also, I read that you can't just keep them in water alone, Because of the lack of any nutrients, so you'd need to plant it in soil or give it some nutrients in the water like hydroponics.

Nice. I read somewhere you have to plant it in the soil only when it gets roots again, otherwise it'll die out. so we're keeping an eye on it and see how it does in water. It seems to be doing really well though.
We live on the navajo reservation and the soil is really nice for gardening, so we're gonna see how it does in the soil around here, I'll post pics of results when it's ready :)

Depends on the plant.
For flytraps I usually go on forums, but I have also used Flytraps.nl, carnivorasland, carniplant (carniplant mostly because it's here and I can just drive there and buy some odd-looking typical), Christian Klein when I made big orders with more people and araflora for weird cultivars. Also I bought from flytrapstore once, a culture tissue tube of WIP Long snapper.

My sarracenia are mostly common shit from local nurseries and their hybrids that I've been growing over the years

Nepenthes: carniplant usually. The guy has a great variety, from ventrata to rajah.

>Sundews and pinguicula: they are presents. Or come with other plants. I don't really care about them, but they are here.

Cephs: since I only grow typicals, I buy them from the place that has the cheapest ones.

Drosophyllum luscitanicum: they gave me ten seeds, only one has grown.

>>2318213

Would it be better to ask here about the care of aquatic plants, or in the /aq/ general? Or both?

Alright /plant/, question time.
I need a whole lot of dirt, and for reasons hard to explain there's basically nothing living within 100 miles of my house.
I want a plant that I can grow indoors, under my growlights, that won't need much nutrients, that grow fast, and can survive being cut, like grass.
I wanna grow them, cut the tops off, compost the cuttings, and the next day cut again.
Sadly I don't have any dirt to grow it in, but I do have nutrient solution.
The other thought is just breed flies to compost, but they still need to eat.

No need to throw a hissy fit and invent narratives to explain the explosion in carnivore popularity. I rarely even eat meat, and I only jokingly anthropomorphise my plants if they're dioecious. I grow a few native trees, shitloads of orchids and assorted ferns/bryophytes too but they're simply not as showy (or reliably so) as Nepenthes. Just because that's mainly what I post, it doesn't entirely reflect my own interests.

Actually I did have an idea for you. You should grow clover. Lots of farmers grow clover before their crops and then they bury the clover and it makes the soil healthier. Bees also love it, if that's your thing. Clover seeds are also cheap and plentiful online.
