hello! i have a nepenthes pitcher plant who was doing really well a few months ago, but then the leaves started dying. i think i might have forgotten to water at some point. i pruned back all the dead leaves, but he hasn't pushed out any new leaves or pitchers for over a month. i recently repotted him into this smaller pot and used new substrate. when i repotted him, i noticed he had no roots but the stem didn't feel rotted. i hope the smaller pot will encourage more root growth since the other pot may have been too large. i also removed it from the water tray and placed it in my carnivorous terrarium that receive bright direct light for 12-14 hours. I heard that pitcher plants don't like to stay as wet as sundews, so i've recently been watering every 2-4 days. any help with be appreciated!!!

This is a drosera “Lotus Eater” doesn’t seem to be a bunch online, but I just transplanted these two pups into thus very unusual planter. Any tips as they get settled in to prevent transplant shock?

I got this nepenthe and drosera 2 days ago. Got any tips?

Potted my baby Nepenthes Gaya and Lady Luck today I’m so happy 🥹🥹 Any suggestions on how to maximize their growth and get them to the vining stage would be greatly appreciated!! They’re in spag/perlite, get distilled water, and are under a 49w/6000k grow light! 🖤

So today we went to the garden centre and my 11 year old who is autistic discovered the vft and wanted it as he found this very awesome and very quickly became obsessed about it, I am very aware that this plant may become a me looking after it as some of his obsession can be very short lived, I am sure he will do his own research on it but I was wondering if anybody can give me some pointers so I can help him look after it proper and what exactly does it eat 🤦‍♀️

hi everyone! i just got a new venus fly trap after mourning my old one that i had for three years (rip mr. munch). I got this new one on a whim and it’s been a little while so I’m getting back in the groove with a few questions. 1. Should I repot it from this pot into a larger pot? I took it out of its plastic cover but I figured i’d let it sit in this pot. I also didn’t know whether it’s too late in the spring to repot without too much stress. I have access to a larger pot and some carnivorous soil mix but I’m on the fence. 2. I have a dish under the pot right now, should I water and let the plant sit in the excess or should I water less? Let me know what you think. Thanks!

My first carnivorous plants. Buying these growing lights were worth the investment.

Hey! Just got this app, and I have a venus flytrap that my cousin got my awhile ago. Yes its from a plastic container thingy you can buy at any store. So, i am giving it distilled water once a day from the diah in the bottom. It think it might be dying since some of the traps are dead. Help needed

I've had carniverous plants for three years now, and I've never had this problem. The water in the bottom of some of the trays has developed a thin, milky film that I assume is bacterial. The first thing I did, of course, is clear out the water and wash the bottom of the pot and the tray with soap and water. But this did nothing; the film was back in a day or two. The next thing I did, which I have done several times now, is to put a little hydrogen peroxide into the tray with the water. This works great for about two or three days. But when the bubbles stop, the film comes right back. Does anybody else have this problem? It's not even happening with all of my carniverous plants, just my venus flytrap and my cape sundew babies.

Starting my carnivorous collection today with a vft. it appears to be in full, 100% peat, which i'm assuming is not particularly ideal, but i only have sphagnum moss to repot it in. is it worth the trouble, or should i wait for fall/winter time?

Hi everyone! I just started my carnivorous plant journey and bought: Drosera Capillaris 'Pink Sundew' Sarracenia 'Bug Bat' Sarracenia Purpurea 'Venosa Red' Venus Flytrap 'Akai Ryu' Venus Flytrap (normal) I plan on putting them all in one 24inch bowl as a bog and have gotten mixed suggestions online as to what to put in the bog. For example, I see a lot of people here putting these plants in just long sphagnum moss, but other online sites say to use peat moss and perlite, and others say to mix all three peat moss, perlite, and sphagnum moss. Which combo would you guys suggest for these plants in a bog system?
