I’m new here! I haven’t had plants in a while, but am finally in a place where I can have some again! Are there any places you recommend purchasing from or avoiding? (online or in person) I am in central FL!

My Venus flytrap that I got a few months ago is blooming for the first time!

Any tips on how to report a Venus fly trap? All of the traps are close to the surface so unsure of how to repot it without causing the traps to shut. Any advice would be great, thanks <3

Any tips on how to get Venus fly traps seeds to grow into plants?

So I found this huge nepenthes spectablis IN FLOWER at an orchid show yesterday. It’s got several dead basal growth points that have been chopped back, and was so dirty with zero pitchers but I’m super stoked to see if I can harvest pollen from it and maybe prop it eventually? It could use a restart it’s super heavy.

Hi guys, I just bought my first VFT and was wondering if y’all could spare some tips to help take care of it! Like food options, light, cutting dead leaves, etc. anything! 💚 also what does ‘dormant’ mean??

hey! i recently moved from a south facing window to a south east facing window, i would love to get a new pitcher plant as mine has succumbed to the heat in this room. i have a humidifier and keep it going 12 hours a day, is there a specific species i should look for? i had a nepenthes alata before but i would really appreciate some advice on which type to go for! pics for interactions:)

hey all, I moved back in september from a fully south facing window to here; a south east facing window. I have some grow lights coming in today to put by the fairy garden pot, and on the left side by the lithops/donkey tails. any advice is welcome, I also have a radiator that my stand is up against, any advice on watering? I notice I have to do it way more frequently. I have an alocasia and bonsai tree which is what the humidifier is for, and as we can tell my pitcher plant has succumbed to the heat:( I loved her so much so if anyone has any tips on what I can do for my new one! I haven’t ordered yet so please give suggestions for species/different types, before I had a nepenthes alata, if that helps.

How do you chop a nepenthes for propagating? I have a big Miranda I want to prop.

The app is telling me I have my nepenthes gaya in too bright of light. In my understanding they love direct sunlight (south facing window) and most issues come from not enough light. I’d say it’s been doing great for the few months I’ve had it. Just curious why the app would tell me that? 🧐

I laugh wickedly when I see those dead fungus gnats 😁

First timer, growing my little guys in a small terrarium, and they seem to be doing well. Planta recommends watering it every other day, but this seems excessive. How often do you water your Venus Flytraps? Thanks!

I feel like something is wrong I’ll clips off the black ends but then the whole plant comes out of the dirt so I’m thinking about just switching it up to full sphagnum one fiber moss
