can anyone tell me how my venus fly trap is doing? he started flowering about two weeks ago but his heads have looks progressively worse since then. Over the holidays, he was placed temporarily by a drafty window, could he be going into dormancy? is he just dying? any tips are appreciated! 🫶🏻

Anyone know what is this long sprout coming out of my plant? She’s happy but I’ve not seen one of these before?

is my venus fly trap too far gone the traps that withered weren't able to close on food and the sphagnum moss keeps creating mold from the moisture

Hi! I’m looking for some suggestions for a good beginner carnivorous plants for someone who lives in the colder area of the Midwest. I have a good sunlight in my room and I’m open to getting a grow light if needed (suggestions for a good grow light would be appreciated as well).

question for venus fly trap owners! is there a way to tell the difference between if your venus fly trap is going into dormancy or if it's just dying?

hey! i bought fly trap seeds, it says they can take 1-3 months to sprout, i’ve had them planted a bit over a month, does anyone have any advice on how to take care of them? i bought a lamp for them and i only use distilled water, i mist the water. should i soak the soil? should i put them in a different pot? the kit came with this bowl 🌱 is the heat source too close or too far away? how often should i turn the lamp on? its 25W. any input would be greatly appreciated on how i could take better care of them!

Is this normal to have this big of a leaf? And if not any tips?

My Pitcher Plant seems to be giving me a run for my money. The leaves seem hearty enough, but the pictures keep drying up. What am I doing wrong
