Has anyone started carnivorous plants from seeds? I’m not extremely experienced, but I’m not entirely a newbie. I want ALL the carnivorous plants, and it’d be really exciting to grow them from seeds, but if it’s incredibly difficult it may not be for me. Looking for opinions before spending the money :)
Better pic of Seymour with out the bloom do have a couple more questions should I give it water every day so it stays moist. I’ve had so many people tell me that I should water it once a week or once every other week or keep water on it at all time and I’m just really confused. Also Seymour caught a daddy long leg. Are those OK for them to eat and why does it have, some yellow spots on some of the plants is that normal or is there something wrong with it? and I’ve never really been quite sure on how much water I should put in its little tub. and is it OK to give the flytrap room temperature filtered water?
Hi, is it ok to give the VFT room temp filtered water?
How do I get rid of the bloom do I just cut it at the bottom?
A couple weeks ago I saved my VFT from my grandma who kept in over watering it and feed it dead flys I recently saw a bunch of yellow spots on it and all the plant traps look depressed except for one that about to bloom idk if it because I repotted it or what I’m just worried that it’s dying pls help
Is it ok to keep my VFT in my room it gets 4-6 hours of sun every day but other plant apps say it’s a bad spot for it
Could you use that for carnivorous plants. Paired with organic Canadian peat moss
My VFT are not getting enough light, will having a grow light help or will the artificial light not work for VFT?
All the pitchers died during winter, humidity wasn’t optimal, can’t believe my ziploc technique worked 🫀
First time to have a flytrap bloom, wondering if it causes some of the traps to die? Should i cut the bloom?
New nepenthes! So excited currently collecting rain water for them ♥️
My flytraps are starting to turn pretty brown and yellow. Are they getting too much sun? The mouths were turning red so I assumed it was alright. The food and watering hasn’t changed at all. They get about 8-10 hours from a grow light. Here’s a before and after for reference. Not the best pics.
What does everyone free their plants? I really want to get a carnivorous plant but I’m afraid I’ll end up hurting it
Best grow lights for Venus fly traps? They live on my windowsill but my window is north-west facing. Ideally one with a stand. Thank you!
Can someone ID this one for me.
my first pings😭🥰
Can anyone tell me what’s wrong with my Venus fly trap? 🥺 It’s my first time with carnivorous plants and I really want it to live, so any help is appreciated!
3 VFT and an Sundew I’ve owned a rather small VFT for some time now at least one grow season this summer is a year with it, my traps stay quite small not sure how to feed tiny traps? I can’t catch bugs that easy so any food recommendations. I also own a sun dew that I got at a plant show but it’s in a mason jar it’s been ok for a while but not looking to good and even sending off some runners not sure if I should keep it in there as idk how to go about repotting it and also need food recs for that as well. My final question is best method of keeping all these plants together I have 3 VFT variants and wanna keep them together I plan on using the saucer method for keeping them but was wondering on any experience with self watering pots and how well that worked as I’ve found some plant pots that could potentially accommodate my collection.
This Sundew is a beast at helping with my gnat problem!
The lid popped open this morning! 😁 I love getting a new pitcher 🥰
