I found this pitcher plant at Food City today. If anyone has any advice about how to care for it I’d appreciate it.

Starting freaking out yesterday thinking my Nepenthes St Gaya had scale. After looking closely I realized it's just EFN. This plant has been putting out beautiful pitchers like crazy and is quickly becoming a favorite in my collection, if it had a pest infestation I'd be inconsolable!

Need some identification help. I just bought this pinguicula, but I don’t know what type it is. I intend to repot it, but I’m seeing different recommendations based on whether the species is temperate or tropical. And any recommendations for soil and such would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

hey y’all! i got a venus fly trap yesterday and i set it on my window seal, but im in a basement-ish area with a few plants outside my window so there isn’t a ton of sun coming in. should i get a grow lamp for my fly trap to make it happier? also, does anyone have any recommendations for getting it more bugs if there aren’t a ton roaming around my house?

Can someone let me know why my plants are turning brown and black? It is too much water? Too little? Too much sun? Not enough? I water them when I notice the soil is dry and I manually feed them as well when I catch bugs in my house. Even the baby pitchers are turning brown. I don’t know what to do.

How do you think my plant is doing? Looks decent or nah? lol.

Hi all! This is my first pitcher plant, and overall I think it’s doing pretty well. Nice green growth, new tendrils, seems happy. It had pitchers on it when I got it and they have since dried up. I have all these nice looking tendrils, but none of them seem to be developing into pitchers. I noticed a little while ago that some new leaves were growing near the base and now one of them has a pitcher. Does this mean the other tendrils are not going to turn into pitchers? What can I do to encourage this? It’s in a window and also has supplemental light, so I don’t think it’s a light issue. It’s potted in carnivorous soil with some sphagnum moss mixed in. Any help is appreciated 🙂

Feels so wrong to cut leaves off my pitcher!

Was anyone else aware that Audrey II is available on Etsy? 😰

Why is my new growth turning brown? I don’t want anything bad to happen to it!

Hey all! It's getting to be that time of year, and I was wondering if I could get a positive id on my sundew and my pitcher plant so I can know if they need to go into dormancy with my flytrap! I'm fairly sure the pitcher plant needs to (and is maybe starting to already), mostly just double checking for peace of mind, but I'm not sure if I have a temperate sundew or not. It was just labeled 'carnivorous plant' at the store 😅

My drosera, Squidward, had been flowering. They are so pretty. I noticed that each day a new flower opens and then dies, and that they are opening right down the row. Is that how they normally bloom? Also, I teach at an elementary school and was planning to keep a few pinguiculas in my classroom. I was also thinking of offering to bring in my other carnivorous plants to offer to show them to some of other classes (especially the younger grades) if any teachers wanted to bring them. Do you think younger kids would be interested in seeing them? I have a small Pitcher plant, droseras and pinguiculas. I thought I could show them to the classes and explain how they can catch bugs. The pitcher plant currently has a fly in each pitcher they might be interested in seeing. I was considering getting a Venus fly trap if classes were interested as they might be the most exciting for kids to see.

Hey all, New posting on here! I always wanted to grow carnivorous plants. Started with a Venus Flytrap…and that did not go well lol. But taking another chance with the easier Pitcher Plant, and I’m excited to see how it goes 🤞🏾
