Hi so this is V and I’ve had her for about 3 months I’m wondering how to go about getting her to be more standing tall? Do I repot her? She’s still in the same pot as I got her in and is doing well I think… Also do you wear gloves? Best tips? Soil? Pot size?

My ping has such a nice red flower, and the color on the leaves is so pretty. Basically I just love Pinguicula “Peaches”

I promise to take better photos once it blooms. I’m really surprised and stoked on this flower.

Invested in the ikea milsbo cabinet and barrina lights , the rehabs and the beasts have ever been so happy. Huge leaf jumps, tons of pitchers, and sooo much spagnum 😍

Hi guys! I’ve never owned a Venus fly trap before but I had to save this little guy from Trader Joe’s. He gets plenty of sunlight and I usually always have the windows open here and it’s around 90-100 degrees outside where I am. He still looks a little sad, any tips?!

Had to save this guy from Home Depot. The tray had no water and they were so dried up ☹️ this one was lucky and didn’t have the humidity dome taken off, so the moss was still a little damp. I have it in distilled water inside a small indoor greenhouse for now, and it’s looking much happier. Hoping it catches a few of the gnats that found their way in there lol.

My Venus flytrap doesn’t have any heads cause they all died off will it be okay without food Also I have it right up on my windowsill in direct sunlight so should my Venus flytrap bounce back?

Hey all, carnivorous newbie trying to rescue this 1” napenthes! I trimmed 3 dead pitchers, but the only one that had looked good has now died too :( Even so, new leaves are growing. I have her in this “terrarium” to try to keep her humid, is this okay? What else should I do?

Hey folks- can you help me ID this pitcher plant? Planta says it is a venus flytrap which obviously isn’t right 😁

This is a first time I’ve seen a pitcher drooling nectar 🤤

Sorry for the blurry picture but my Cape Sundew has caught its first gnat!! Only had her just over a week so safe to say I’m over the moon!! (It’s the most left black blob in case anyone’s struggling 😂)

This is my first carnivorous plant, a nepenthes named Vlad. He had lots of dead stems on his leaves when I first got him, but seems to be doing a lot better now and he’s been growing lots of new pots. I did notice that a new plant/shoot (arrow is pointing to one of its leaves) which is trying to grow tiny pots. Should I leave it under Vlad or should I separate it out into its own little pot?

Hi everyone! I’ve just bought this Venus fly trap plant from a shop and I noticed it’s not in the best condition, I’ve watered it with rain water after some research and I’m just wondering if there are any ways to revive it? This is my first time owning one, thanks!

Had my cape sundew a week now and I’m praying she’s settling in… am I best feeding her while she’s acclimatising? If so what’s your recommendations? I have her sat in a dish/ramekin of rain water 🥰

Does my Venus need to be repotted? She’s in her original pot from the nursery.
