Hi new plant mum here this is Jeff had him a couple weeks now and he has made a lot of dramatic changes since I bought him from the garden centre I picked the least dead looking one there and he has truly flourished since haven’t killed him yet thank god so I’ve been watching a lot of Venus flytrap videos to really get a thorough understanding of water etc now Jeff’s been blessed with a last minute heat wave we had after a bearable summer and I’ve just started hearing about the dormancy period when it cools down and I just wondered what does this entail and what do I need to do with him thank you! (Ps is that little bud in the middle a flower growing it looks different to the rest)

this is hwahwa, my venus flytrap. the colder months are coming soon so i’ve been debating on how to keep her dormant during the winter! i live in zone 6, which is a little too cold to just have her outside, but my apartment complex doesn’t really have any indoor cold spots where i can let her sit. i read that a protected outdoor dormancy is suitable if you live in a colder area, so i’ve been looking into these tiny portable greenhouse things—so you think putting her outside in one of these will work? any tips are appreciated!

Ive had my venus fly trap for about 4 months now but my biggest wonder is if it needs to be fed? Ive never done it but i keep seeing contrasting opinions on google

Hi there! I just joined, but I’ve been keeping and rehabilitating nepenthes for almost a decade now. I’d love to keep really rare specimens someday but for now I seek out nearly dead nepenthes in shops and stores all around the PNW. I’m always available for questions or nepenthes health consultations for free @nepenthomancer on ig.

Hi all! I left my baby put her plant in the office Friday-Monday and came back to it looking like this. Can he be saved?

Hi quick question how do I tell if my Venus flytrap has begun it’s dormant period or if it’s just got dead leaves

Bog update! The flytrap “died” and I removed it before I realized my error 🙄. The bog really breeds those fungus gnats, so I added a bug catcher for any they can’t snag. Just added some Pinguicula for the first time. I placed them on top of the sphagnum. Hoping they take off with the rest of the swamp.

Anyone had ping leaves with weird notches in them? I’m wondering if it’s because they developed when flower stalks were coming up?

Hey all! I have this VFT that I’ve had for a month and a half to two months now. They look a little crowded? Idk if they prefer this setting or if I should consider repotting?
