I was so excited when I saw my local nursery had received these large Nepenthes! I had to bring one home. I’ve never seen a large one IRL so I’m very happy to have this beauty added to my collection.

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 don’t 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!

hello everyone, meet twinky—my first carnivorous plant.. i’ve 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! i’m a little nervous because i really want her to thrive.. she’s 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 hasn’t been watered or fed yet (the soil/moss it’s planted in is wet) I don’t know what’s 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?

Hi, I just received my first carnivorous plant as a gift and can’t help but notice the dead leaves. Should I remove them or is there another solution and any suggestions are appreciated

I have some experience with pitcher plants (meaning I’ve kept one alive but dormant for 4 years😂) 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?

why could the new growth be browning? i lost its bubbles because i moved it to far away from the window i’m pretty sure so i don’t think it’s burnt?
