I havenโ€™t grown any pygmyโ€™s from gemmae before so itโ€™s really cool to see them sprout into tiny little sundews!

Pete update! I removed all the leaves and placed him where I put my plants for dormancy. He is looking green and is even growing a bit during dormancy. Probably going to repot soon since when he had lots of leaves he was running out of room. Heโ€™s small but healthy and looks like he will be very happy in spring!

Hi, Iโ€™m new to owning nepenthes but not to carnivorous plants in general, I was wondering if anyone can help me with this one, itโ€™s from a garden centre and was very neglected, Iโ€™ve been trying to nurse it back to health but itโ€™s still struggling, Iโ€™ve changed its soil to a better mix and kept it under the same conditions as my other two but it just wonโ€™t perk up, any advice to help it recover? Itโ€™s a nepenthes gaya btw

After some trial and error with placement, my pitcher plant (Nepenthes ventrata) is finally giving me some pitchers. They are even catching insects which I was not expecting. What a treat! โœจ๐ŸŒฟโœจ

I just love the collar on this pitcher Maximus which I believe is called a peristome.

This pitcher is my first carni plant. I've read that I should only repot once it's gone into its dormant phase. She's currently in my kitchen window and seems happy as she's grown several more pitchers, but I'm wondering if I should move her somewhere cooler? I'm in the UK and the central heating system keeps the temp fairly constant, so wasn't sure if she'd go dormant if I left her where she is?

Whatโ€™s wrong with my Venus fly I use rainwater and it sits pretty close to the window and I never let the Spagna dry out
