My son's Venus flytrap is trying to flower, but I believe that weakens this plant correct? He's already really struggling after we accidentally left him in the sun too long and it had a bad sunburn.

Is it normal for some traps to die after I feed my Venus? I just got her a few days ago and some of the other traps turned black and the rest of the plant seems wilty? I have her in sphagnum moss and perlite, I just fed her yesterday and she’s in a south facing window but I’m kinda scared it’s not enough light considering there’s a fence pretty close to my window and I have light refracting privacy film on it. So is it not enough light or the fact that I fed her?

Added another nepenthes to the collection. The one on the left we got today and the other one is from a couple weeks ago. I don’t have any clue what kind of nepenthes either of these are but that won’t stop me from keeping them happy!

Does anyone have a carnivorous soil they recommend for Venus flytrap's?

Though it looks unrecognizable this is a North American pitcher plant I found at Zamzows yester it had tons of brown leafs on it after cutting them I put it outside and watered it with distilled water and it still looks bad how can I help it get better ps I live in Idaho and it’s summer I don’t have lots of money for expensive remedies

How it started and how it’s going. Placement was tricky as she kept getting scorched. I thought it was the sun itself but actually the little built in saucer on the pot just wasn’t holding enough water to withstand the Texas heat. Her leaves weren’t getting moisture and drying out, leading to sunburn. I ended up nixing the little saucer and put her in a white 2 gal bucket with a 1.5 inch water bath. Left her out in the open on the South side of the house all day in intense heat. Came home to find water still in the bucket, mix wet and not just moist, and the baby trap opened up with a blush pink inside. I feel like a winner lol

Help! My grow light fell and tried to decapitate my pitcher plant. What can I do about the casualties? Can I propagate the loose pitcher in distilled water? Also I just got the Venus fly trap and nepenthes, any advice as to what I should do to assist it. Is it in the right substrate, they were bought at a plant nursery so I’m not sure. Also can you over water your carnivores by putting too much water in the tray to bottom water? Do I need to mist the nepenthes so water makes its way in the pitcher? Any advice is welcome for a new carnivorous plant parent. Also going dormant, more on that plz. Thx so much 🌱🪴🦟

Brought my little baby Venus in from outside and while getting her adjusted to the grow light setup I noticed a little piece of cloth. Ended up taking her out of the soil and realized there is a wrapping on the root ball! When I initially repotted it, I thought it was part of the soil. I bet it feels so much better!

is this sunburn? my vft has been moved outside a little bit over a week ago. it was previously in a west window but now lives outside, facing east but gets direct sun for about 8-ish hours. these seem to be the only petioles affected. my NA pitcher next to it is also unaffected. if it helps, the shelves they sit on are partially covered by a tree, and the direct sun they get is dappled.

Look who I found hiding underneath all the leaves! I was pruning old pitchers when I found these two micro babies! For scale, the big fatty in front is about 3” long (excluding her lid), the baby in that first pic is about 1/2”, and the itty-bitty one is barely 1/4” 😱
