Trying to nurse this baby back to health. It used to be a pretty decent size but then just started dying, so I cut off all the black pieces and the dead stem sticking out. Took it out of its old pot and realized that the roots were wrapped in a cloth so I removed that and rinsed off the roots. Repotted it in spagnum moss, and have it sitting in water. Any other suggestions?
just got this baby akai ryu in an attempt to nurse him back to health. wish me luck š„²
Cuteness alert!!! (zoom in for maximum effect x)
Lily is from a kit I bought from Home depot, this Saturday will make 4 weeks since I potted her. I was hoping if someone could tell me if she's growing properly since this is my first time.
Got this gal in the mail today! Iām studying up on how to care for her. Just got some distilled water and brought the humidifier out. Any advice welcomed!
My Venus flytrap from a kit is growing now too! My pitcher plant has five growth points already :) I know I just did an update, but Iām so happy theyāre growing bc I never thought it would work š
Just picked these babies up from Carnivero here in ATX. The flytrap has been named āKing Henryā per Carnivero and weāre keeping it! The Butterwort is now named āMapleā. Excited to get these babies potted and growing!
Got this fly trap from a store a month or two ago, decided to try and save it as it wasnāt doing well. Cut off the dead traps, full sun and good distilled water, and when the traps became healthy enough to close again I gave it two spiders I found. Thought it had been improving but now itās getting brown/dead spots again and the traps donāt respond when I move a dead bug around in them to feed it. Any advice as to why? Wondering if I should just cut all the traps at this point and solely focus on new growth from it
I planted a dormant pitcher plant about a week ago, and here is the growth!
A little closeup photo of my Drosera and itās flowers about to bloom.
Hello! I have been wanting a carnivorous plant for a few weeks, but I have no idea where I can get one. Any ideas?
I just bought these trumpet pitchers and wanted to know if anyone knew the best way to care for them? Also, should I be concerned about the browning tips? Thanks so much ^^^^
ā¢Just got an Venus flytrap, I believe itās the werewolf variant if my id is correct. ā¢Believe it or not he was the healthiest of the few there. ā¢Can I have some tips and advice how to get him back in the swing of things? ā¢Also it says not to use fertilizer on it, but I water using a naturally fertilized water from my aquariums I keep. Is this ok or??? Ik I have heard use r/o or rainwater but I donāt have r/o and idk how much rain water is in my barrel that my family uses on the outdoor plants.
Made this little bog arrangement for my fly trap!
I JUST got this guy from the storeā¦ but he looks a little sad. Iām not really sure the best way to care for him. Any advice? He is under a grow light.
First time my Venus fly trap has been fed so far!!!
Iāve kept pitchers for a number of years but Iām finally branching out into other varieties! Got 3 itty pings from an Etsy seller, and this one is my new favorite. <3 Supposedly theyāre more difficult than pitchers, so Iām hoping I manage to keep them all healthy. They got here just over a week ago and no major negative changes yet, so Iām feeling positive!
Hey there. Iām so glad thereās a place to go for help with my plants. My daughter is a plant addict and most of her plants end up with me because she flies private jets and is never home. Iāve already killed a huge, beautiful Monstera. Iād like to try to educate myself to save the rest of my crew. My first question is I have a pitcher plant and would like to know the best pot to keep it in. Currently I am trying to revive it from the dead.
