Hey everyone! Yesterday I got my first Venus fly trap and I've watched some videos and read a few articles but I want some opinions and advice from others with more experience. I am planning on getting a bigger lightly coloured plastic pot with good drainage in a few days and I have rinsed the current soil which is what I was told to do by an expert grower online. I've heard of the downtime it has during the winter and I'm still confused about that. I've fed it a spider as well. Ive heard that they need lots of light so it's been under a grow light all day. 3 of the mouths are red on the inside, which is a good sign, while some are just green. Based off of the photos, let me know if there's anything you think I should do or if anything is wrong.

Anyone know what type of Nepenthes this is? The link they gave for its care and information didn't work.

A Christmas Nepenthes “Diana” I’m trying out. First time owning a pitcher plant!

Is it typical for nepenthes to drop pitchers this time of year or is my nepenthes st gaya unhappy about something? He has been under grow lights since September and has been thriving until about 1-2 weeks ago, in which time he's started to drop 3 pitchers. The first one is totally black, the second one has this crazy line of healthy tissue at the bottom, and today I noticed a third pitcher starting to brown. These are not the oldest pitchers, there are at least 2-3 older pitchers that are still healthy. My humidity has been in the 30-40%s for the past month but is 50%+ most of the year. I haven't checked the roots but i suspect this plant might be getting rootbound so maybe it needs a repot, but not sure if that leads to pitcher death. There are also multiple basal shoots growing like crazy so maybe the mother plant is dying off to support them...? Any insight is appreciated as i have never had this issue before!

Finally got my N.Veitchii X Maxima. Any tips to make it grow faster?

Do I need to repot my pinguicula sethos? I have had it almost a year and haven’t repotted it. It’s my first and only carnivorous plant so I am looking for care and repotting tips! Thank you!

Anyone got any ideas why my nepenthes isn’t producing anymore pitchers I’ve had it a couple months now and it doesn’t seem like it’s grown at all

I’m brand new to carnivorous plants and was watering my pitcher plant with regular water for the first few weeks. I realized the mistake and switched to distilled water, but is there anything I should do to clean the plant or flush out hard water buildup?
