Is it ok to keep my VFT in my room it gets 4-6 hours of sun every day but other plant apps say it’s a bad spot for it

OGForestGreen

Could you use that for carnivorous plants. Paired with organic Canadian peat moss

My VFT are not getting enough light, will having a grow light help or will the artificial light not work for VFT?

All the pitchers died during winter, humidity wasn’t optimal, can’t believe my ziploc technique worked 🫀

First time to have a flytrap bloom, wondering if it causes some of the traps to die? Should i cut the bloom?

My flytraps are starting to turn pretty brown and yellow. Are they getting too much sun? The mouths were turning red so I assumed it was alright. The food and watering hasn’t changed at all. They get about 8-10 hours from a grow light. Here’s a before and after for reference. Not the best pics.

What does everyone free their plants? I really want to get a carnivorous plant but I’m afraid I’ll end up hurting it

Best grow lights for Venus fly traps? They live on my windowsill but my window is north-west facing. Ideally one with a stand. Thank you!

Can someone ID this one for me.

Can anyone tell me what’s wrong with my Venus fly trap? 🥺 It’s my first time with carnivorous plants and I really want it to live, so any help is appreciated!

3 VFT and an Sundew I’ve owned a rather small VFT for some time now at least one grow season this summer is a year with it, my traps stay quite small not sure how to feed tiny traps? I can’t catch bugs that easy so any food recommendations. I also own a sun dew that I got at a plant show but it’s in a mason jar it’s been ok for a while but not looking to good and even sending off some runners not sure if I should keep it in there as idk how to go about repotting it and also need food recs for that as well. My final question is best method of keeping all these plants together I have 3 VFT variants and wanna keep them together I plan on using the saucer method for keeping them but was wondering on any experience with self watering pots and how well that worked as I’ve found some plant pots that could potentially accommodate my collection.

This Sundew is a beast at helping with my gnat problem!

Evening, my Dionaea muscipula (Venus fly trap) has white bits in the soil that seems to be mould. I’ve only recently bought it and when I bought it, I was charged very little as it was severely dehydrated in the garden centre. I was planning on repotting soon but hoping to revive it a bit more so it’s stronger for the transfer. The pot it came in has drainage holes with the roots poking out the holes into another pot. I’ve read before that this is for putting water in the outer pot for the roots to drink from rather than the soil so this is what I’ve done over the last week or two. Is this correct? Should I repot now and change soil? Is there any way to treat the mould? Thank you!

Fingers crossed I can keep this alive and thriving! 🤞
