Got this Drosera the other day and was wondering which one it is, it says Gullalion Drosera on its tag but no luck on the web. Am I just not finding that online or is it a nickname or something? It is very tiny (fingernail length about is the longest leaf) and a spoon shape on the end of them. Sorry very new to this and found it a festival and couldn’t help myself lol
First Fly Trap; First Trap Sprung My first fly trap is only a week into its terrarium and the smallest trap grabbed a bug (I didn’t manage to get it in video), but I’m so excited i had to share it. Also, i know the pads being green instead of red means it’s not getting enough light. New grow light will arrive this week.
Happy pitchers with lots of pitches :) 💕
I’m needing to repot my pitcher plant, but I was told regular potting soil is not good for them. I found this on Amazon. Has anyone used this or have a better idea of what to use?
I rescued this lil guy 5 days ago off the clearance rack of Home Depot. His buddies were almost all black traps; I had to save him. They were sitting in plastic packages, and the soil was barely moist. I cut off the black traps and repotted him in sphagnum moss, sat him in a container of distilled water and put him directly under my grow light. I can’t put him outside because we get varying temperatures in Sept. I’ve never had a Venus flytrap before (I have a happy pitcher plant though 😁) and he looks a little sad and droopy. He will almost certainly get fruit flies in my house, thanks to my kids haha. I’m wondering if the pot is too small. Do they like space? Is it ok if the traps sit on the moss?
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.
Why did all my Venus flytraps heads die I fed it a dead fly it was getting plenty of sunlight I wasn’t leaving it in a dish of distilled water All the traps turned yellow and died what did I do wrong? Also how long will it take for my traps to grow back
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?
HELP! My Venus flytraps heads all died out of nowhere I had to cut them off will they be okay
hi everyone! first time plant mom here. i just got a Venus Fly Trap, im trying to figure out the best way to take care of it. I live in an apartment with a screened in balcony and honestly don’t see too many bugs. I live in Florida so it gets pretty hot on the balcony. any tips for me? i think she might be dying & i really wanna save her 🥲
Drosera regia is my favorite sundew, I love how big it gets, can’t wait till mine gets bigger!
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 😂)
