Just took home this little guy and I’ve never had a carnivorous plant (with the exception of a Venus fly trap as a kid, which I sadly killed very promptly lol 😢). I’ve done some research and know some general care tips, but does anyone have specific brand or product recommendations for 1) soil for eventual repotting, or 2) food/nutrients if it needs it?
Hi y’all, I wanted to see your recommendations as far as a carnivorous plant goes. I specifically want one that can help me with my fungus knat problem, but I also just want one in general. This is just an add on. I have no prior experience in this category of plants. I’ve read about the butter wort but wanted to know your opinions? And where you recommend I purchase from that you’ve had good experiences with. Thank you!
I bought my first nepenthes on a trip to Longwood Gardens. Can anyone identify the cultivar please?
Brand new pitcher plant owner! Any tips on keeping him alive and happy?
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
