Pete’s new pot (I think he’s dormant btw)
Pretty sure she’s still healthy but I’m trying to learn how to be a good plant mom. She eats good, she’s gotten about 1 fly per week on her own. However, my question is…when should I repot, is the soil healthy? It looks like there’s some mold on the surface. Ultimately I want to put her in a tea cup but how should I go about that? She gets watered with rain water and I typically do that by placing her in a bowl with a little rainwater to soak up through the bottom.
How cold should I keep my Venus flytrap during dormancy? I’m scared to put in garage cause im far North it’s gets super cold winters.
any tips on bringing back a sundew?? he’s doing so poorly i don’t wanna post a pic but i feel like he’s not fully dead
i recently went through a very stressful move and my pitcher plant is not happy :( is there any hope for her?
Hey y’all! My “Lady Luck” Nepenthes has been THRIVING lately in her little terrarium. But recently one leaf has started developing spots. Worried this might be some sort of fungal thing. Thoughts? Should I go ahead and lop it off? And maybe increase circulation a bit? (Right now the terrarium is closed. Only opened when I feed her) Thank you for your help!!
Hi I’m new and I bought a Venus fly trap from a store and got it for free since it’s wilting and none of the traps close is it still saveable? It looks okay I already cut all the dead ones off (btw it’s name is Pete)
I think my Pitcher ate something it couldn’t handle?? Any ideas? Thanks!
Hello! This is my purple pitcher plant (at least I think he’s a purple, he was not labeled when I got him) Helios, I got him about a week ago from a local seller. I have experience with Venus flytraps and wanted to venture more into carnivorous plants, he looks a little dry and a lot of his pitchers are no longer filled with liquid, how can I make him feel better? He is in peat moss and is given distilled water.
Is this dormancy???? I’ve been so worried thinking they were dying. Even the baby traps are turning black. I cut off quite a few traps that were already completely black
Any other ceph owners here? 😊
Hi I have a venus fly trap that has decided to kill all its traps, now baby ones are growing but they have some brown on them. I’ve let them sit in a bowl type of thing with enough water and they still are not growing properly! My nan who recently passed chose this one for me so i don’t want it to die.
Hey! I’m trying to start a venus flytrap from seed and it’s not going to well. Any tips for how to best do this? Should I just get a pre-stated VFT?
Dormancy is around the corner ❄️
Hi everyone, I’m new to this app and this group. I’m looking to get a new carnivorous plant for my hallway but I’m not sure where I could get one. I live in Belfast. Any suggestions will be appreciated

Childproofing at its best
My Venus fly trap’s larger traps are all on their way out. They hadn’t eaten in maybe two months so I prompted a large trap with a fly I caught. The large traps are not responsive. Should I prune them? Will the little traps survive without food?
Hi, I'm thinking about getting a carnivorous plant but I didn't have much luck with my sundew a year ago and it sadly died. I had it in a glass jar with a lid on but not hair tight and there was a gap, what did I do wrong? And any tips on which Carnivorous plant is easiest to care for?
