I ventured into carnivorous plants a couple months ago. I'm fascinated by these buggers!!

If you haven't been advised already, be sure to use distilled filtered or rain water. They tend to be sensitive to the chemicals in tap water. Also, they don't need a lot of fertilizer especially if they catch a few bugs. If you do fertilize it's better to use an organic such as fish emulsion and very dilute at that. Your plant looks healthy so you must be doing it right.
1 me gustaThe nursery they came from, Sarracenia Northwest, is amazing!! They provided so much information! I do use only distilled water (rain water when I can)... I've not ever fertilized them.... I admit I catch some critters and put them in the pitchers from time to time..hahaa 😁
2 Me gustaAaww i love Sarracenia NW. They helped me to stop unaliving pinguicula 😆 🤣
2 Me gustaAll 3 are pictured. Gaya has the more speckled pitcher, Alata is the larger of them, and Rebecca Soper os the smallest with the darker more purplish leaves
0 Me gustaLove the coloring on this
1 me gustaAlata means winged in latin. I was trying to see in the picture if your plant had any wings? They're great pictures but I still can't see wings!
0 Me gustaSo pretty!! I’ve been wanting to get a pitcher plant, do you have yours in higher humidity or do you find they do fine in regular humidity?
0 Me gustaI have quite a bit of other plants that need humidity, I have a humidifier. I find the humidifier to work better than misting
0 Me gustaI have one
