So today we went to the garden centre and my 11 year old who is autistic discovered the vft and wanted it as he found this very awesome and very quickly became obsessed about it, I am very aware that this plant may become a me looking after it as some of his obsession can be very short lived, I am sure he will do his own research on it but I was wondering if anybody can give me some pointers so I can help him look after it proper and what exactly does it eat 🤦♀️
New heliamphora too!
Just got this new plant from red leaf exotics!
hi everyone! i just got a new venus fly trap after mourning my old one that i had for three years (rip mr. munch). I got this new one on a whim and it’s been a little while so I’m getting back in the groove with a few questions. 1. Should I repot it from this pot into a larger pot? I took it out of its plastic cover but I figured i’d let it sit in this pot. I also didn’t know whether it’s too late in the spring to repot without too much stress. I have access to a larger pot and some carnivorous soil mix but I’m on the fence. 2. I have a dish under the pot right now, should I water and let the plant sit in the excess or should I water less? Let me know what you think. Thanks!
My first carnivorous plants. Buying these growing lights were worth the investment.
Hey! Just got this app, and I have a venus flytrap that my cousin got my awhile ago. Yes its from a plastic container thingy you can buy at any store. So, i am giving it distilled water once a day from the diah in the bottom. It think it might be dying since some of the traps are dead. Help needed
I've had carniverous plants for three years now, and I've never had this problem. The water in the bottom of some of the trays has developed a thin, milky film that I assume is bacterial. The first thing I did, of course, is clear out the water and wash the bottom of the pot and the tray with soap and water. But this did nothing; the film was back in a day or two. The next thing I did, which I have done several times now, is to put a little hydrogen peroxide into the tray with the water. This works great for about two or three days. But when the bubbles stop, the film comes right back. Does anybody else have this problem? It's not even happening with all of my carniverous plants, just my venus flytrap and my cape sundew babies.
Starting my carnivorous collection today with a vft. it appears to be in full, 100% peat, which i'm assuming is not particularly ideal, but i only have sphagnum moss to repot it in. is it worth the trouble, or should i wait for fall/winter time?
pingdom x dewdom ft. pings that can’t decide if they want to be in the succulent phase or not
Hi everyone! I just started my carnivorous plant journey and bought: Drosera Capillaris 'Pink Sundew' Sarracenia 'Bug Bat' Sarracenia Purpurea 'Venosa Red' Venus Flytrap 'Akai Ryu' Venus Flytrap (normal) I plan on putting them all in one 24inch bowl as a bog and have gotten mixed suggestions online as to what to put in the bog. For example, I see a lot of people here putting these plants in just long sphagnum moss, but other online sites say to use peat moss and perlite, and others say to mix all three peat moss, perlite, and sphagnum moss. Which combo would you guys suggest for these plants in a bog system?
Brought home the fly trap, drosera, and two trumpet pitchers yesterday. 😍
nepenthes finally started their vining stage! Sarracenia flava is also getting huge
Just separated out all the leaf cuttings! This is what I am left with!
My husband bought me a beautiful Nepenthes baby from Red Leaf Exotics and I may have squealed when I opened the box. A lot. She’s so prettttyyyyyy
Lots of new growth from inside the tree stump!
So, I've got about seven or eight carnivorous plants. A Venus fly trap, a few drosera and a few pitcher plants. It's still kinda cold here in PA. Do y'all think it would be alright if I put a heating mat for a reptile enclosure underneath them? Their spaghnum moss is COLD to the touch and I really don't want the babies to die.
I love it when pings get so round
Two of my baby nepenthes each pushed out a new pitcher this last week and they’re so much bigger than the previous growth almost double the size 😍
Some new traps and little baby’s ❤️ the gills on the first one are insane!
Who are these cute little pink guys growing in my sundew?
