I was wondering if I could put a humidifier that uses non purified water near my nepenthes pitcher?

Hi! I was wondering if people recommended watering globes for either Venus fly traps or pitcher plants? I’m struggling to keep up with the watering at the moment, so far I haven’t seen any affects of this, but wondering if water globes would cure this? Thanks!

Just wanted to share my Venus . I’m not new to them I had a few when I was younger & I’ll admit I was a sucky vtrap mom . In all fairness people are given the wrong expectations when it comes to carni care it reminds me of what people are told as far as care for Goldfish 😟 at the same time I do think a little research goes a long way . I know better now so decided to get one when I saw it . Honestly it’s pretty big I couldn’t help myself . The traps are wider than my thumb .

After 3 months of waiting for them to be back in stock I got my hands on a baby purple pitcher!!

Would I be able to start a carnivorous terrarium without natural light?

Hello! I’m relatively new to carnivorous plants and I’ve got this Sarracenia (Leah Wilkerson)x (Majesty) from CC that has been excelling! I see three new growths that I assume are pitchers coming from the center of it. I noticed a small red sprout coming out of the moss initially I thought it was moss that it was shipped in sprouting but I’m not so sure I went to tug on it and it moved the whole plant! So I’ve left it in place and uncovered it a bit to take the picture. I recovered it immediately. It is potted in LFS and arrived in seemingly peat moss. My question is what is it? Part of the plant or something else? Should I pull it out or leave it be?

I really need some help here. This will be my second picture plant and it’s not doing very well. I’ve moved it to different locations. It says to keep the soil, moist sun, part shade and not to mist. What am I doing wrong? I really don’t want to lose this plant. One picture has already dried up.

Just sharing the tiniest pitchers ever. Found this seedling hiding under my newest nepenthes. Was able to separate it and it’s been doing well for a few weeks at least. For reference for the size of the pitchers, this is a two inch pot.

Hello, I picked up my first Venus fly trap on the weekend and one of the heads (?) is turning black. I think it has a bug inside that was there when I bought it. Is it sick?

Hello, does anyone know what could be wrong with my pitcher plant? It is doing this with most of its leaves and hasn’t created a single pitcher!

Just wanted to share that my butterwort propped way more easily than I thought it would. ☺️ I started the babies 3/25/2024, so this is about 2 months of growth.

Got 4 new carnivorous friends the other day: 2 drosera, 1 ping, and 1 nepenthes. This is my first nepenthes though. Can I keep it in the same carnivorous mix I made for my other plants (peat, perlite, and sand)? The shop guy said I shouldn’t, but didn’t really tell me what to keep it in. It is in sphagnum and maybe something else right now, and I see Planta says carnivorous mix OR sphagnum, but wanted some opinions. Should I mix in a little sphagnum to my mix, or maybe make a layer of sphagnum on top? Oh, also, should it have a water basin with a wick like I give the others? Thank you! PS: I know the nepenthes doesn’t look great. The guy gave it to me for $15 because he said he sunburnt it a little. PPS: the plants are 1: Nepenthes rafflesiana white x caffelsiana 2: Drosera aliciae 3: Drosera intermedia 4: Pinguicula emarginata x moctezuma
