I have a ping, sundew, VFT, and nepenthes are 2-3 wide. Can you show me your beginner friendly set ups? I am so lost . The picture below is before they are all separated now but not in the best condition for long term survival.

    Nepenthes do not share the same living conditions as VFT, ping, and sundew. Its very good that you separated them. VFT and sundew need to be very wet and need dormancy whereas nepenthes need moist but not wet and pings need a lot of moisture and to dry out depending on what phase they are in (succulent semi dormancy or plush and actively catching). I can give detailed instructions on how to care for the ping and the nepenthes but the sundew and the VFT are probably going into dormancy for the winter if they’re in a windowsill and not under a grow light. The nepenthes should absolutely be under a grow light, and it’s substrate should be just plain spagnum moss and pearlite. Remember not to use tap water on any of these plants.

    Not all sundews go dormant if that is a spatulata it’s tropical and needs to be kept under a very bright light. I struggled with mine at first until I realized how much sun it needs. You can tell by the color and if its leaves are sparkling with dew. ✨

      That’s a current pic this was summer and the window is a southwest facing and my sundews loved it. I have all of them in a aquarium now until spring when the humidity gets high enough

      Oh that’s interesting my spatulata is dormant right now it was sold to me by predatory perrenials as a temperate. I wonder if it just depends on how you keep it, cause yours looks amazing! I will be the first to admit I don’t know it all about drosera, they remain the hardest carnivore for me 😂 could just be my conditions
