Hey all! I just picked up 3 species of pitchers. St Gaya, Miranda, and a Black Miracle. From reading all of the posts on here Iām pretty confident I know when I need to remove pitchers and where to remove them from. Iām more concerned about light and repotting at this point. I asked before I left and the girl said these would all be ok for a little. š¤š» very excited to have my first pitchers!

Hi all! I have a Cape Sundew that is now about 10 months old. Itās doing well overall and has new growth, but is getting a bit of a trunk (see second photoā reminds me of a fern tree). Is this ok for the plantās health? Iām fine with it getting tall but I know some other plant types donāt do well with getting leggy. Also, how do you know when to repot? Thanks!
Cat
happy pitchers!!!

Hello! Brand new to flytraps and have 3 now. Trying to prepare for repotting in the soonish future and confused as many things say to set pot with drainage holes in an inch of water, while others say the plant thrives in terrariums. I understand terrariums lock in moisture more but also that setting the pot in water allows the plant to absorb water as needed but is one better than the other? Should i set a pot with drainage holes in a terrarium rather than using the terrarium as the pot itself (similar to one of the left in photo below) Photo of the three below in their temporary homes.

Just got the cutest ever group of pings today and got them settled in their new little home. Totally new to carnivorous plants but am excited to see how they do! Any solid advice on pings in particular? The soil is really well draining. In succulent phase Iām guessing they like to be a bit dry? (The Venus flytrap is also new to me in the last week)

Why is my Venus fly trap drooping? I have it in a windowsill facing south and it gets direct sunlight all day. I have it in a tray of distilled water thatās up less than an inch and I only refill when itās completely drained. The tray usually gives it enough humidity. Itās been floppy since I got it (and it WASNT in those plastic container things)

Iām thinking of getting my brother a Venus fly trap + pitcher plant combo I saw at my local nursery. Any care tips? He would keep it in his room.

Got this nepenthes a few weeks ago the oldest pitcher was dried out but had a few new ones growing in. The first of the new pitchers is about to open up. I feel like a proud mom they grow up so fast!

Update on Pete. Still looking a little rough, a bit droopy but to be fair the full sun hasnāt quite returned. He got his very first pink trap! Itās so cute. Thereās also the one trap I fed which seems to be opening really slowly but Iāll update you all when that happens. I thought it might need more humidity and I was wondering if misting is okay as long as the plant itself isnāt getting wet if anyone knows about that let me know please. HAPPY EASTER!!!

I REALLY want an indoor VFT but I feel like I would struggle finding it bugs? some people say they find their own however I never have any flies or anything in my home that it can eat where can you buy food for them? do you just feed with tweezers ect

Just got this Venus Flytrap from Walmart today, he looks very sad and droopy, and there are quite a few black parts attached to it! Any advice please?

Does my Venus Flytrapās soil look too slimy to you? When I got it I knew itās a generally swamp kind of plant so I thought this green ooze was natural and beneficial for the plant. As Iāve been reading more online about these little guys apparently itās common for them to get algae and slime due to overwatering near the top. Should I scrape this off or leave it?

Hey yall! Can you help me diagnose my plant?

hey!! i wanted to see if anyone had any input before i repot my pitcher plants(i was sent 2 of the same plant on accident and also wanted to know if i could put them together). itās been almost a week for them to acclimate and i wanted to know if itās better to use a terrarium like either of these or if it would be better off in a pot. i have a constant struggle with keeping my humidity levels in this area up, and i would love a plant cabinet for my tropicals but thatās just not in the cards for me rn. so maybe a mini one just for my pitcher plant? obviously i would open it daily for airflow i also have a lil fan on my plant stand for air circulation, i also know i would need to make sure i donāt overwater, but i really just wanted someone elseās input on the situation! ty!

I just took my VFT out of dormancy and I am so exited to watch it grow! I have it in sphagnum moss with a reservoir with distilled water and a dome over it to acclimate it back to the conditions in my house. Any tips?
Cat
so overall they seem okay..but thereās 2 smaller traps on each plant i wasnāt able to add water to as they hadnāt opened yet and i didnāt want to force them open, but they have since started shriveling. what should i do? cut them off? let them shrivel then pluck? also wondering if i should pot them together, the company sent me 2 on accident which lucky for me but now what to do with themš¤
