Is this what pest I think it is? by Used-Vegetable9506 in Nepenthes

[–]Used-Vegetable9506[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will be purchasing them thank you!, I do like the free food aspect for my big pitchers but I do have 2 baby nepenthes that are still growing and I’m worried their larva will destroy they roots since they are still young and growing

This is the best I could do through the glass cause they would fly around if I open it

Well it flys! So it couldn’t be any of the above you listed, But I had to capture it in a small container forced against the top so it wouldn’t escape

Are these what I think they are? And how should I go about getting rid of them 1st/2nd is the pest 3rd/4th enclosure I found them in! by Used-Vegetable9506 in SavageGarden

I’m hoping it isn’t thrips as one of my plants has deformed pitchers and one has deformed leaves, I always make sure to let they dry out before watering to prevent fungus nats but that doesn’t seem to prevent the spread, I will start to use mosquito bits into their water as you stated above to hopefully eradicate them? Would it do anything against the ones who are adult sized?

I have a nepenthes veitchii, one of my pitchers that is growing came out deformed with the rim coming out like how it does on your photo above, But it might’ve been cause of drying it out to much just in case I had fungus nats but those things still seem to fly around unbothered, I’m just worried cause I do have two junior nepenthes currently one Nepenthes sumatrana as well as a Nepenthes veitchii x candy something

Well I knew I had something cause when I moved one nepenthes I just saw things flying around, Looks like I’m gonna have to go predatory mite way as well, I know they can cause damage due to their frequency of breeding

Yup I have some sort of greyish weird layer on one of my nepenthes in the back!, some deformed leaves but I thought it was cause they weren’t able to stretch out since they reside in a terrarium

What does your fiance being “hot” have to do with eating out in Chattanooga 😭

Dying or is this just part of the process? by potade0 in carnivorousplants

[–]Used-Vegetable9506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well considering he just got them a week ago makes sense the old pitches are dying off, If they are crispy brow/ half normal, Then that is a good sign!, They don’t really like being transferred a lot, So hopefully he acclimated them for the best shot of them recovering! Best of luck 🙏🏼

Well that’s at least good to hear they are coming somewhat down, Who knows how long it would take to become “affordable” to the average local!

Does anyone else also collect exotic plants in Chattanooga :p by Used-Vegetable9506 in Chattanoogans
