I cut off a new bud that was growing because I didn’t want the plant diverting its energy to it as healthy as the other flower shoot and plant is doing but I’ve noticed some mouldy stuff around wheee I cut. What should I do… leave it or try wipe it off with a cotton bud, could it be a bug nest because maybe that’s good as he can eat them
Would this terracotta pot be good for a venus fly trap? Currently it's in the setup it came in from the store, a plastic pot in a plastic cup which has been working really well. But its growing roots out the bottom of the pot so I need to upsize a bit. I just constantly keep it sitting in a full cup of water so figured this would work the same but this plants doing so well I dont want to mess it up!!
Hey everyone, my venus fly trap had flowered and as of a few days ago all of the flowers are dead. What should I do about the stem they were on? Should I cut it or just leave it??
I fed my Venus flytrap a big fly and it was about a week before my Venus flytrap opened like this. It’s been only half open like this for 4 days. The trigger hairs don’t work to close it again. What should I do
My Current carnivorous plant set up. All growing quite nicely
Hi plant people! This is a Venus flytrap named Seymour that I’ve had for like two years now. Last summer he died off completely but the bulb grew new traps. Since then he hasn’t been growing large traps or has been growing leaves with tiny buds where the trap would be, and has had browning on the edges. He gets enough light, is watered with distilled water, and was recently moved to a sphagnum/perlite mix that is more appropriate for his needs, but I haven’t seen any improvement. Could someone tell me what might be going on with him and what to try to help?
I’ve had a venous fly trap before but it sadly died, and I was going to try and get another one I was wondering if anyone has any tips on them!
This teeny tiny pitcher 🥰
Not sure what’s going on with this little guy (unknown sarracenia maybe a purpurea) just started withering away. Soil is always wet and under a grow light. My other sarracenias are doing fine. thanks for any tips!
I am growing a Venus flytrap and the flower has gotten really tall. I saw some things saying I should cut it off. Should I?
Are my flytraps getting too much light? They live under a grow light. They’re red so I thought they were healthy. But the leaves almost seem like they’re getting kind of burnt. Below is about a 5 week difference between the pics.
New to the group and semi new to plants, but I love them. Here are my 1st 3. Hope they do well. Suggestions are certainly welcome.
My girl has so much new growth coming in!
Managed to catch the third flower on my natal sundew almost all the way open today.
the roots are sticking out - does this mean it’s time to repot? :)
I love that more plants is the solution to my fungus gnat problem 😂
Getting new arrivals
Hey guys! My poor Sundew Spatulata isn’t doing so great… any advice? She’s usually in a closed terrarium with lots of light from a grow lamp and a good, boggy mix. I also make sure to open the terrarium for at least 30 min every other day…. I did cut off 3 stalks about 2 months ago. And have only fed her bloodworms a couple times….. Thank you!!!
Recently got a Venus fly trap I’ve been wanting one for years. I read something saying that if a flower grows you should cut it asap as it uses up light and energy but I also read another thing that said if it’s about to bloom it’s already used up so much and that if it seems healthy may as well take the risk. - anyone experienced this have any opinions or advice, I don’t want him to die but also don’t particularly want to cut it….
Is this thing flowering?
