Just got Byblis Gigantea seeds and Drosophyllum lusitanicum planted. Wish me luck. Hopefully they grow and I did everything right 😅

The pings are doing great!

I repotted my Nepenthes today and tried to straighten them out a bit with bamboo stakes. Hopefully that encourages them to grow up instead of sideways. I put a liner in these vanda baskets so I’m hoping they don’t dry out too quickly (they are watered at least once and usually twice a day) What do y’all think?

So I just posted in this group just sharing a little update on my Venus flytrap and it brought me to realize I have more then one plant here, so I finally repotted her properly and turns out not only did I have 2 big plants, but I have a baby too!! My bog looks much more filled out now and im so excited to see how these grow.

Today I learned the importance of progress updates and the fact that venus flytraps will rearrange themselves to sprout their leaves. The first picture is from April 7th, just longer than a week ago, the second picture was taken today. I have a new leaflet sticking out about to lay out, a new shoot popping up in the center there, and those 3 big leaves on the side have worked their way closer together towards the other core (on the underside towards the duckweed) and to think i only brought this little guy home 4 weeks ago

I ordered these two sundews from California Carnivores about 2 weeks ago and so far no dew 🫤 I’m wondering if the trip across the US might’ve shocked them? They are getting adequate light and I have them in reverse osmosis water. Should I snip the flowers off to help?

New to carnivorous plants and plants in general. Started a pretty diverse collection. Everything looks to be growing well. With many more on the way.

New baby just came in the mail yesterday

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew what type of butterwort this is. When it flowers it has a purple flower. I know it isn’t gigantea because it goes into a succulent fade over winter too.

Hiya! Im fairly new to carnivorous plants. I have a venus fly trap that is absolutely thriving and has a few flower stems about to pop. I've just noticed this in the soil and wondering if any clues what it could be and if I need to remove it from the pot. This is still in nursery pot and ive had for about 6months or more

I just got myself 2 Venus fly traps. I’ve heard the bottom of their draining pot it came it could live in water because they are swampy plants. Is that something I should do is put the bottom in distilled water? Or should I just make sure the soil stays damp and leave the pots out of water? Thanks in advance

So im a newish plant daddy, ive been really focusing on my carnivorous plants bc they’re secretly my favorite. But i was wondering when would be a good time to repot them bc i dont want to stress them too much by repotting bc the pots that are the next size up from the current pots is like 3 inches in diameter and roughly 3in deep

Got this pitcher plant three days ago and all the pitchers were fine. Put it in a box with some other of my plants and now they’re starting to turn black. What could be the cause of this?

S.O.S 😠My first carnivorous plant. I discovered a little late that I should be watering it with distilled water and let it get more sun.🥴 Carnivorous parents, does it still have a chance to survive? What should I do?
Tre
Propagate or nah? My pitcher plant is overdue for a repot and I noticed these babies growing underneath. Should I use this as a chance to propagate this plant? Or should I keep them together?
