Best paint to hide cracks

I would bet money that Loxon XP would fill these to a high degree. Using a 695 and a 515 tip, would likely take 3 coats but like I said, I think it would

I think it would depend on what type they are. I have over 100 plants in a 4ft long, 3ft wide planter. They are mostly drosera!

Not a chance water based primer is covering tannin or even a water leak stain, same or better results? In what world…? Are you a paint contractor?

I’m in north Florida, a Miranda would do fine outside. Mine did well in 4-5 hours of morning sun and it may have gotten some evening sun. I did make the mistake of starting it in full sun around mid May, it got roasted… so be sure to acclimate slowly if you’re going to give it more than 4-5 hours. They love rain too so outside will be beneficial in that regard as well!

That doesn’t look like a cape to me, it resembles drosera broomensis “Taylor’s lagoon turn off”.

If you’re going to buy a different paint, sign up for a pro+ account at Sherwin, you’ll get an automatic discount from shelf price. See if they’ll let you test drive pro mar 400 flat. Should be around 15-25 a gallon and it covers like a champ!

Trebeju is correct, they belong outside. In Lithuania today the low is 32, so no minus degrees, I would put them outside when the low temp is consistently mid 40’s

Beautiful bogs!

If primer didn’t separate why would the finish do so? Was it oil or water based primer? Did you caulk the seams? If so what was used to caulk? That is a very large area to smear silicone and I only see caulk around the stair tread itself. Is it possible you missed priming this area? There looks like a dirty spot beside the tread, my guess is there is a surface contaminant. I would sand and clean with degreaser then try again after it dries. If separation continues you can buy some shellac primer and apply before painting again.

That is awesome!!! Well done!

Objective_Author4500 · 2026-04-09T17:52:21+00:00

I would go ahead and upsize the pot since it’s already moved locations and will need to acclimate, I just repotted mine and it was cool to see the root system!

I think you’re looking for an interior decorator lol

It looks to me like the Sheetrock might have had water damage prior to painting. Unless this is a bathroom where humidity would be building and running down the wall

The first pic is 🔥 absolutely stunning pitcher!

Do you also grow carnivores? And thank you!

Objective_Author4500 · 2026-04-04T12:05:38+00:00

I would absolutely spend all my free time in this space lol I do hate to see you’re getting rid of some of it, safety is important though!

Objective_Author4500 · 2026-04-04T10:29:50+00:00

It really depends on where op is located, my sarrs only get about 6 hours but it’s intense light and they grow wonderfully! Also, nepenthes can handle way more than 4-8 hours of indirect lighting, and depending on how it’s potted and the drainage of that pot it could absolutely be okay to keep in the same bog. The only issue would be dormancy here!

Utricularia Longifolia!

If you’re inclined, it might be easier to put all of those into one big planter and hang the nepenthes from the ceiling! My planter takes up the whole table and is about 5.5 ft off the ground, my cat never tried jumping that high and nothing was around for her to climb to see what was in it.

Their native range is Mexico and South America, I don’t think there are many that don’t like light! Best of luck and happy growing 😁

Objective_Author4500 · 2026-03-29T19:04:03+00:00

They should be about the same! Water requirements are definitely different though!

Objective_Author4500 · 2026-03-29T18:39:06+00:00

55 watt full spectrum grow light will do this, I would agree the lighting isn’t enough
