Why did all my Venus flytraps heads die I fed it a dead fly it was getting plenty of sunlight I wasnât leaving it in a dish of distilled water
All the traps turned yellow and died what did I do wrong? Also how long will it take for my traps to grow back

Invested in the ikea milsbo cabinet and barrina lights , the rehabs and the beasts have ever been so happy. Huge leaf jumps, tons of pitchers, and sooo much spagnum đ

Hi guys! Iâve never owned a Venus fly trap before but I had to save this little guy from Trader Joeâs. He gets plenty of sunlight and I usually always have the windows open here and itâs around 90-100 degrees outside where I am. He still looks a little sad, any tips?!

Had to save this guy from Home Depot. The tray had no water and they were so dried up âčïž this one was lucky and didnât have the humidity dome taken off, so the moss was still a little damp. I have it in distilled water inside a small indoor greenhouse for now, and itâs looking much happier. Hoping it catches a few of the gnats that found their way in there lol.

My Venus flytrap doesnât have any heads cause they all died off will it be okay without food
Also I have it right up on my windowsill in direct sunlight so should my Venus flytrap bounce back?

Hey all, carnivorous newbie trying to rescue this 1â napenthes! I trimmed 3 dead pitchers, but the only one that had looked good has now died too :( Even so, new leaves are growing. I have her in this âterrariumâ to try to keep her humid, is this okay? What else should I do?

Hey folks- can you help me ID this pitcher plant? Planta says it is a venus flytrap which obviously isnât right đ

This is a first time Iâve seen a pitcher drooling nectar đ€€

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 heâs 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! Iâve just bought this Venus fly trap plant from a shop and I noticed itâs not in the best condition, Iâve watered it with rain water after some research and Iâm just wondering if there are any ways to revive it?
This is my first time owning one, thanks!
Sarah
Had my cape sundew a week now and Iâm praying sheâs settling in⊠am I best feeding her while sheâs acclimatising? If so whatâs your recommendations? I have her sat in a dish/ramekin of rain water đ„°

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

Hey all! My poor Sundew Spatulata isnât 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 didnât take the bait. I also tried to introduce some moss, but now itâs kinda taking her over. đ¶
What should I do? đ Thank you in advance!

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