Help! I forgot my Venus fly trap outside last night (I’m acclimating it at the moment) and it got down to 2 degrees Celsius. Will he be ok? I’ve brought him inside this morning. Thanks!

My husband really wanted one of these, and I’m quite nervous about her care because she’s sooooo different from my other house plants. First pic is Sunday when I got her, second is today. So far so good…lol! She has a fair bit of roots peeking out of the bottom. Can I leave her be for a while, though?

I'm hoping someone can give the words to use when I ask for a refund. This drosera capensis arrived yesterday in the condition you see in the plastic wrap. The other pictures were taken just now, about 28 hours after planting into carnivorous soil with sphagnum on top. I sent the first pic to the seller yesterday to ask if it was alive and he sent me instructions for what to do if I forget to water it. So I asked again and he told me to send him a picture of the roots but his instructions very explicitly said NOT to remove the soil around the roots. I'm waiting for him to verify that sending him a picture of the roots won't kill my chances of getting a refund. What should I say? Obviously, this is not acceptable. Thanks for your help.

I recently bought two VFTs and starting to notice some white stuff near the roots and inner vines also some black on the traps themselves, what am I doing wrong? Or what do I need to do?

Pinguicula “Lovespell” is a massive Mexican butterwort, a hybrid of Gigantea x Laueana. It’s covered in sparkly dew that lures in their insect prey 🌺

Dead? I got this little sarracenia a while back and it just keeps getting worse. Can I save it and if so how?

If anyone is interested, the Bay Area Carnivorous Plant Society is hosting its annual show and sale on June 14th, which is one of the biggest if not the biggest carnivorous plant show in the United States. I’ve gone before and it’s awesome!

Tips on caring for this sarracenia flava? New to gardening and this is my first carnivorous plant! I’ve been watering with rain water and it’s planted in 1:1 spaghum peat moss and perlite in a 6 in plastic container.

I just picked up these two sundews at my hometown’s local farmer’s market over the weekend while visiting mom for Mother’s Day 🩷 Curious if I’ve identified them correctly — I believe I have a cape sundew and an Alice sundew.. any experts able to weigh in? 🪴🪰☠️

Help me save my pitcher plant please 🙏 I repotted it in sphagnum moss and perlite as I was directed by the internet it didn’t want to make any pitchers so i thought it needed some fertilizer was told i could use a low dose orchid fertilizer and gave it two spritz of 0.2 orchid fertilizer then watered it good I then left it with my mom under a grow light for a week and well…

Looks like Mr. Piranha is getting ready to bloom. Our Dionaea muscipula ‘Akai Ryu’ (also known as Venus flytrap) is sending up a flower stalk for the first time this season. We’re not sure yet if we’re going to let it flower or trim the stalk, open to suggestions. And yes, our cheeky Nepenthes photobombed again. Can’t keep the monkey pitcher out of the spotlight.

Venus died 😵🙁

I bought my pitcher plant in March and he's now got roots growing out the bottom of his store pot. He's grown so well so far and I want to keep it going. Do I repot him now or wait till next year when the plant is dormant? How does the dormancy even work as an indoor plant. Do I have to stick it in the fridge or can I just keep it out all the time and not worry about it needed a dormant period?

Hello! I've recently started to get heavily into plants! (I have over 10 atm😅) Iv always wanted to get into carnivorous plants, would anyone here be able to help me get started with those fellas? (Im looking into possibly a Venus fly trap for my first but iv heard those are difficult to keep alive, is there any other ones that would be recommended for beginners?

Is it normal for worms to be crawling in the moss of your Venus Flytrap?

I got this ping a while ago through the mail. She’s been in her succulent faze for a while, and she sits by a grow light that is on 7:30 am to 10:30 pm. She has also decided to flower? Anyone got any tips on getting her back to her carnivorous faze, and just any tips in general?
