This is my first carnivorous plant, a nepenthes named Vlad. He had lots of dead stems on his leaves when I first got him, but seems to be doing a lot better now and he’s been growing lots of new pots. I did notice that a new plant/shoot (arrow is pointing to one of its leaves) which is trying to grow tiny pots. Should I leave it under Vlad or should I separate it out into its own little pot?

Hi everyone! I’ve just bought this Venus fly trap plant from a shop and I noticed it’s not in the best condition, I’ve watered it with rain water after some research and I’m just wondering if there are any ways to revive it? This is my first time owning one, thanks!

Had my cape sundew a week now and I’m praying she’s settling in… am I best feeding her while she’s acclimatising? If so what’s your recommendations? I have her sat in a dish/ramekin of rain water 🥰

Does my Venus need to be repotted? She’s in her original pot from the nursery.

Hey all! My poor Sundew Spatulata isn’t looking so great. A majority of her has dried up and turned brown. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I keep her in a closed terrarium with a false bottom layer with a LED grow light on for about 10 hours a day. I keep the soil wet/bog-y and open the terrarium once a week for a little airflow. When she was in better health and dew-y, I tried feeding her ground up bloodworm, but she didn’t take the bait. I also tried to introduce some moss, but now it’s kinda taking her over. 😶 What should I do? 😓 Thank you in advance!

Just found this big girl at my local plant shop! I think it’s a Miranda but if any nepenthes veterans know what she is let me know!

What are some reasons a Venus Fly Trap will not close? I repotted my Venus fly trap on Saturday. It stays outside where it gets a lot of direct light. Even though I really tried not to, I did trigger a few of the traps when repotting. But they have opened back up. I never feed it myself, but I can tell it catches bugs. There are two traps that just opened back up last week and the bug’s skeletons are left in the traps. And I saw it catch another bug Sunday. But today I watched a bug crawl over and into multiple traps and none of them triggered So I’m wondering if it’s just “full” and refusing to eat more than it needs? Or even though it’s caught something since repotting, it’s still stressed out from the repot itself?

I looked inside my pitcher plant today can it have mold?? I am really concerned!?

My cephalotus is finally growing strong! I had a lot of issues with mold and mildew on it in the past, but proper airflow has saved it!

Last Monday my boyfriend left for vacation and I was asked to watch his dogs. I said yes and I was supposed to watch them for a week. Before I left I asked my mom if she could watch my plant and she said yes. I showed her how to take care of the plant and I gave her specific instructions. Water the plant with the distilled water I left, only fill the bowl when it’s empty, keep the plant under sunlight and no more than and inch or less of water (I even showed her the amount). She said that she had it and that I could leave the plant so I did. I asked her everyday if she was doing okay with the plant and she would say yes. Yesterday I came home and I found my plant like this… the bowl was almost completely filled up and the water was brown. The new leaves that are supposed to sprout are brown, the stem is brown, the leaves around it are brown, some are even black. And the dew drops are completely dried up.. I- I’m only mad at myself for not taking the plant with me but it is what it is. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on what to do or what could have happened to my plant? Could it have been over watered? Or maybe she added the wrong water? I was planning on leaving it out to dry out a little bit and then adding it back into distilled water and keeping it under the sun. I hope the black and brown pieces can be saved :( most likely not. These are before and after pictures btw
