New to the carnivorous plant corner. I think I have two different types of pitcher plants. I have seen them on natgeo nature documentaries various times and found them at my local farmers market. The only thing I have to figure out is the soil for these beauties. I donât know if I should mix my own and what type of soil they sell for carnivorous plants?
Greetings carnivorous plant people! What type of potting media would you recommend for a pitcher plant and do you know of a good place to get some? Or should I try mixing my own? Thanks in advance!
Drosera.
Nepenthes
hello everyone, meet twinkyâmy first carnivorous plant.. iâve had her for about two weeks now and yesterday i moved her to a new pot and switched her over to a new potting mix. the place i got her from had her in some soil with small pieces of perlite and bark and i replanted her in a mixture of equal parts sphagnum moss, perlite, and orchid bark. i also removed some yellow/wilting leaves (already like that when i got her) since being repotted one of her pitchers has squeezed shut! iâm a little nervous because i really want her to thrive.. sheâs gotten water recently and i also mist her a few times a day. is this just her adjusting to being repotted or is there a problem i need to address? any advice is appreciated
Hi, so this is my first time with a baby Venus fly trap and it seems to be sick I just got it yesterday and it hasnât been watered or fed yet (the soil/moss itâs planted in is wet) I donât know whatâs wrong and how to help I cut off the dead one but I want this little guy to thrive what do I do?!
So sad! This fly trap was doing so well until I moved it from this south facing window into my little green house. It did NOT do well so I moved it back to its original home by the window⊠what can I do?
My sweet carnivorous babies!!
Just wanted to share my collection of pings and nepenthes :)
Hi, I just received my first carnivorous plant as a gift and canât help but notice the dead leaves. Should I remove them or is there another solution and any suggestions are appreciated
help!!! whatâs happening to my pitcher plant?!
I have some experience with pitcher plants (meaning Iâve kept one alive but dormant for 4 yearsđ) but I just got my first trumpet pitcher plant. Any advice would be great! Also, are the trumpets supposed to be curly? Or should I cut those off?
I never purposely fed my fly trap live food. The left and middle were two separate plants that had both grew long flowering stems. The right most stem is one of the cuttings Ive made from those stems. I only recently cleaned up the competing moss around the plants and read I shouldnt have let the plants flower to the point it had. Is that why Im getting a lot of leaves but stunted traps?
My sundew is blooming a flower stem! đ
wanted to share the cute new little pitcher thatâs growing in đ„ș
why could the new growth be browning? i lost its bubbles because i moved it to far away from the window iâm pretty sure so i donât think itâs burnt?
I bought this Venus fly trap 4 days ago and looked up on google how to take care of it but I donât think Iâm doing too well⊠this is Marsha sheâs in the pea moss she came in and in the dish was water but the app told me sheâs over watered. What are the steps of making her healthy again.
Asking for sundew help again! Iâve been experimenting with propagating leaf and root trimmings in water and just noticed some cute little plantlets forming on this drosera binata root. Does anybody with more experience have any advice for next steps? Iâve read it can either be placed just in top of som CP soil or buried just below the surface? Thanks for all the advice đ
Sorry I have been posting a lot but I need to know I just got this Venus Flytrap at the store should I take it out of this plastic case? One more thing should I feed it? I donât have many flies in the house that it could chow down on and if I am supposed to feed it what should I feed? Ants, bugs?
