Hi guys update on the purple pitcher plant. Could the problem be over watering? And not a good enough drainage? The soil and roots have a foul smell and thereâs some white spots on the stems. Could it be root rot? If so how can I fix it? Should I stop watering her? And also some of the green parts are mushy at the stem and brown. Please help
My Sarracenia purpurea has toughed out this evil heatwave weâve had (112f) and luckily is still growing its leaves!
Nepenthes Hamata x Robcantleyi basal tucked into some huge spagnum, with star moss growing out the side. This plant is seriously the love of my life đ
My sundew plant grew this beautiful flower! I didnât even know they did that!
Hello :) this is a purple pitcher plant I received as a gift but I think something is wrong :( I water her with distilled water and I feed her as well not often but I do feed her. I was wondering why the leaves are turning brown. Could it be that she needs more sunlight? Or a different pot? I donât use fertilizer or anything like that so I canât figure out what Iâm doing wrong. Any advice and suggestions are welcomed đ
Enjoying the summer sunâïž
My 5y/oâs little plant wasnât looking so good. The Planta app said that it was over watered. The top soil wasnât too moist, but further down it was, so I questioned that diagnosis. I went through a few posts and decided that it was probably not watered well. I cut some of the limbs that were getting dark. I stuck it in a plate with filtered water. And put it back where it was originally, in the sunniest spot in our yard - which gets some shade in the evening. Anything else Iâm missing?
Is there anything Iâm lacking with this guy? I have him sitting in a tray with distilled water, substrates is nice and moist, it has its own grow light directly on it, looks like itâs growing a flower and other new traps. The reason I ask, Iâve had it about a month now and it does not eat. The hairs on all of the traps donât trigger at all. When I first got it, it did get triggered once. I have cut off a couple of black traps which Iâve been told are dead guys. Could use some advice. I bought this guy and a nepenthes as my first carnivorous plants and i wanna make sure I can at least try to get it right đŹ
Any tips on keeping a vft alive
Hey guys, my 8year-old sonâs venus fly trap, âJawsâ flowered a few weeks ago, and are now spent. Do yall recommend dead heading, or leaving it as-is? Thanks
What I can only describe as âgreen goopâ has developed on the top of my sundew soil. I can only assume itâs algae or mould from how wet the soil stays. Is this harmful to the plant?
I picked up my first carnivorous plant today! Iâve been seeing these like a lot of water! Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated!
My vft is flowering! Do I need 2 for it to pollinate?
Do vfts need humidity
Update/Question on Alan: Itâs been a week since Iâve gotten Allan and heâs already grown a few new traps. Iâll take this as a good sign. I was wondering if I should be misting him. Some websites so misting them can be more harmful than helpful and others say it does help them. I have yet to mist Alan
Is this a good set up for a pitcher plant? or am I gonna have to change this eventually?? According to the lady at the shop, itâs in sphagnum moss, perlite, orchid bark, and sand. The terrarium is glass
is this normal? iâve never pruned it so it is a build up but i just wanna make sure that thereâs nothing wrong with my plant. itâs been growing new leaves and has a bunch of pitchers, is there anything i should be doing to make sure itâs ok during this season considering its putting out so many pitchers and probably expending so much energy doing so?
Hi! So my sundews are pretty upset. Theyâve lost their dew :( hereâs whatâs goin on. Iâve had them for a few months now Iâve tried different lighting but not too rapidly. Iâve tried increasing watering frequency and always keeping the tray full Iâm keeping them in sunlight now because being a bit away from the sun didnât help much and seemed to make it worse. I also used to mist them but I stopped because I didnât want to over humidify them since itâs already very humid in my bathroom . Iâve tried not touching them besides keeping them as they are in the window sill and giving them water whenever needed but they keep browning. I think Iâm missing some thing. Is there anything else Iâm doing wrong? Maybe they need a repot? A dome? Let me know , thanks! (Also, they came with flowers cut for some reason . Iâm sad)
Where do you buy vft food
Iâve noticed these black spots on my nepenthes Alata. More spots on the older leaves than the newer ones.
