hello! my boyfriend recently bought me two pitcher plants and a venus fly trap i have experience with the venus fly trap and plan to put it in a terrarium but i wanna keep my pitchers in hanging baskets and right now my biggest issue is keeping the soil constantly moist and im wondering if anyone has had any luck with keeping them in a self watering pot??

I'm not sure if I should transplant this or not. It seems like it needs it but I'd love to know when!!!

Hi, can someone tell me why this trap is growing like this? Is it something I’m doing wrong? I just got her a week ago from a Lowe’s.

I now am the proud plant parent of 5 carnivorous plants that are each in 2 inch pots. I have 2 different sundews, 2 pinguiculas and a pitcher plant. I bought them from Bountiful Gardens in Lawrenceville, NJ. They have an entire room of carnivorous plants and almost all of them sit in a a very shallow terra cotta bowl of rainwater. I asked if I should have them sit in a tray of water and the guy that helped me said that yes, since in nature they would be found in bogs they should have a little rain or distilled water in their trays. I have also read that they should NOT sit in water as their roots might rot. California Carnivores has a video that says the sundew can sit in water, the pinguiculas can until they are in dormancy, and the pitcher plant shouldn’t. Anyone here that could offer advice on how to keep them healthy?

Noooo! I just noticed one of the pitchers is drying up, but the rest look fine. It’s also growing new leaves, so I thought it was doing good! I’ve kept it in water and the soil has stayed moist, what could have caused this? I have it under a grow light

Hi! I was gifted this beautiful baby for my birthday. I have her in a sphagnum moss and perlite mix. Distilled water ONLY. I did a soil flush 3 days ago and haven’t top watered. I put a little water at the bottom for it to soak up today. Grow light for about 13 hours a day. No less than 12 hrs. And a good dark space for bedtime. Tell me if I should adjust something please. Im absolutely in love with her and want to give her the best.

Hey just got a Venus fly trap! Its “mouth” is always closed and never opens. Why is it like that? Any tips other than keeping it moist, lots of light and not tap water? TIA!

My outdoor venus fly trap had an escapee, this little beetle managed to chew its way out. Is there anything I should do about the damaged leaf?
