My Venus flytrap from a kit is growing now too! My pitcher plant has five growth points already :) I know I just did an update, but I’m so happy they’re growing bc I never thought it would work 😂

Just picked these babies up from Carnivero here in ATX. The flytrap has been named “King Henry” per Carnivero and we’re keeping it! The Butterwort is now named “Maple”. Excited to get these babies potted and growing!

Got this fly trap from a store a month or two ago, decided to try and save it as it wasn’t doing well. Cut off the dead traps, full sun and good distilled water, and when the traps became healthy enough to close again I gave it two spiders I found. Thought it had been improving but now it’s getting brown/dead spots again and the traps don’t respond when I move a dead bug around in them to feed it. Any advice as to why? Wondering if I should just cut all the traps at this point and solely focus on new growth from it

Hello! I have been wanting a carnivorous plant for a few weeks, but I have no idea where I can get one. Any ideas?

I just bought these trumpet pitchers and wanted to know if anyone knew the best way to care for them? Also, should I be concerned about the browning tips? Thanks so much ^^^^

•Just got an Venus flytrap, I believe it’s the werewolf variant if my id is correct. •Believe it or not he was the healthiest of the few there. •Can I have some tips and advice how to get him back in the swing of things? •Also it says not to use fertilizer on it, but I water using a naturally fertilized water from my aquariums I keep. Is this ok or??? Ik I have heard use r/o or rainwater but I don’t have r/o and idk how much rain water is in my barrel that my family uses on the outdoor plants.

I JUST got this guy from the store… but he looks a little sad. I’m not really sure the best way to care for him. Any advice? He is under a grow light.

I’ve kept pitchers for a number of years but I’m finally branching out into other varieties! Got 3 itty pings from an Etsy seller, and this one is my new favorite. <3 Supposedly they’re more difficult than pitchers, so I’m hoping I manage to keep them all healthy. They got here just over a week ago and no major negative changes yet, so I’m feeling positive!

Hey there. I’m so glad there’s a place to go for help with my plants. My daughter is a plant addict and most of her plants end up with me because she flies private jets and is never home. I’ve already killed a huge, beautiful Monstera. I’d like to try to educate myself to save the rest of my crew. My first question is I have a pitcher plant and would like to know the best pot to keep it in. Currently I am trying to revive it from the dead.

My Venus fly trap has been turning black and getting holes on the mouths of it. Can anyone please help me?

Help meeeeee!!!!! My Sarracenia pitcher plant is sooooo droopy! I need help or I will cry- I don’t know why this is happening! It did this in a course of 4 hours! Was fine when we left but four hours later, it’s base had turned brown and it began to droop! What am I doing wrong?

I got this a few days ago since a friend told me it could help with gnats (it’s definitely caught a few since I brought it home). I’ve done a bit of research and I know they like lots of light and distilled water but other than that I’m so lost and really don’t want to kill it!! I’ve been keeping it in a little bit of water as i saw they don’t like to dry out, but I also saw somewhere to let them dry just a bit every so often? I don’t know. Can anyone give me some tips to give it a happy home :) watering (schedule?) and soil type would help tons!

I got another little Venus fly trap. So cute🥺🥺 I know some about Venus fly traps from recent traps but I made need to be reminded. Any tips for care? I also have a question I know Venus fly traps naturally live in humid wet places and to water often. I didn’t mist with my other traps but would it help to mist the plant?
