# Hi all! I need help with my pitcher plant! This is my first…

_Posted by Georgie on 2025-06-01_

Hi all! I need help with my pitcher plant! This is my first carnivorous plant and I can’t tell how it’s doing… It doesn’t have the same type of lusciousness as when I first bought it about a month ago... Tips for caring for yellow pitcher plant? Planted in 1:1 sphagnum peat moss and perlite in a plastic container with drainage holes.

I forgot to mention I only feed with rainwater. I’ve never checked the pH of the soil.

It needs a water tray. These are a bog plant that should be wet consistently
