Hi All! Sorry about the puppet part, but I just wanted to get a
plug in for Amy. I ordered to and they are fantastic--kids love
them.
Look at the second part where i had asked Amy about her dying plants
privately. I'll let Andrew and all answer, but it sounds like lack
of humidity, maybe light and sitting too much in water (with lowered
light) at this time of year. Joe

Joe, I'm glad you liked the puppets!

I have my plants sitting on shelves near a window. They should be
getting plenty of light, but maybe not. I don't keep them in a
terrarium. I just keep them all in individual pots. I keep all
the pots sitting in a tray of water. Because of this, I know they
can't be dying from lack of water.

These are the plants that are not doing well and their symptoms:
D. adelae (wilting -- very badly), D. aliciae (shriveling up), D.
paradoxa (wilting), D. slackii (turning brown and black), P.
prumiliflora (turning brown at the edges of the leaves), cephalotus
(turning black), a tiny baby dentate sawtooth flytrap (just rotting
clear away! A guy told me that it was so little that it didn't
need dormancy this year). There is also my utrics (sandersonii,
livida, and dichotoma x subulata) which are shriveling up, despite
having their pot sat in water - and my Nepenthes, which are
shriveling, and their pitchers are turning black. Pretty bad, huh?
These are the plants that are still living. I have had alot of
them already die.
Let me know if you have any suggestions,
