New to being a plant lady. Received this double monkey pitcher plant in Feb. and it's been doing well. I did not repot because I'm scared. I'm wondering if these two plants should be separated? Seems small for the two of them. I'm not getting pitchers yet but am seeing a lot of healthy new growth. Any advice appreciated and feel free to dumb it down for someone who is recently learning to keep plants alive.

I just bought a fly trap from a Nursery. It came in a container that was cylinder shaped. The plant looks a bit droopy and the soil I mixed might be a little too damp still. Any tips to make sure it recovers well. Seems to be under stress
hey guys!! ive been thinking about getting a venus fly trap, and I was wondering if anyone has any tips. thanks!!
This may be a long shot...... Anyone know where I could buy a cool carnivorous plant in store in SW Missouri? One that's not set up for failure already but not to expensive? There may not be one but I thought I would check...
Hey y’all! I’ve never had a carnivorous plant before but I really want to add some to my collection! Any recommendations for a first plant, or tips for keeping it alive? Thank you!
Hey all! How do you know when a VFT is ready to eat a fly? I know they don’t need food often, but don’t want to underfeed him either. And how do you catch flies?? 😂😂
My poor Venus Fly Trap. It was tiny to begin with. Now its down to 2 traps and kne of those just died today. I already changed the pot because I thought the other may have been too small; plastic, 3 in, with drainage. Any other suggestions on how I could save it?
Hey, new to growing plants in general but I thought I'd try growing some fly traps for my apartment. Does anyone have any helpful advice? Like do's and don'ts? Recommended equipment or just helpful advice?
I was worried about having these indoors, but they've been doing great under the brighter growlights and west window

Does Anyone know what this white mold on my Venus fly traps soil(peat moss and perlite) mixture. How do you get rid of it.
New to this wonderful group, I would like to introduce Nephi and Nini! 👋🏻🌱
Does anyone know why my sundews’ newer leaves are bunching together at the ends like this? I’m worried something’s wrong with them
Nepenthes Maxima x Sanguinea “Red” is an exceptional hybrid by California Carnivores. Massive pitchers with a deep crimson peristome and speckled interior. A standout in my collection
How often should I manually feed my Venus flytrap? I’ve got a nutrient spray and little pellets coming in for it.
