Can you feed a pitcher plant meat, Iโ€™ve seen pitcher plants consume birds and mice in the wild?

My Venus fly trap is doing better but suddenly has flower stalk. Planta recommends cutting things like basil flowers, read can leave tropicals. Since trap looks OK can I leave it?

One of my baby nepenthes has a strange set of leaves and I have no idea why. Have yโ€™all ever seen this before? The first one in the 3 is the same plant from a few weeks ago and it shows when the split started

I just got this new baby cape sundew on Friday. All of her leaves are curled under. She is under a grow light. Does she just need time to adjust?

Hello! I recently picked up these two little pings from a local nursery and Iโ€™m starting to think they have been labelled wrong. Can anyone confirm what I have here? I went to the supplier website and I think the one thatโ€™s labelled a butterwort is actually a Pinguicula gypsicola x moctezumae based on the pictures on the site.

Super stoked that an order from amazon finally came in good condition, how long should i wait before i feed her? Also Planta doesnโ€™t have a Red Dragon variety? Is it just the same as Dionaea Muscipula?

Got this Pitcher Plant Sarracenia,from amazon, kinda dissapointed that they shipped it inside a zip lock bag, plus they shipped it in the mail box, hoping it recovers soon, it didnโ€™t come with a pot, trying to isolate & recover inside this mini terrarium, any advice on making sure she survives?

Hello! I just got my first carnivorous plants. When I first brought them home about two weeks ago, I did some reading and was under the impression they needed to be kept quite moist at all times and had read to keep the bottom in water, so I had them sit in a shallow tray of distilled water for the first day or so. However, I think I overdid it and the leaves started turning yellow after a few days, I assume from overwatering. I havenโ€™t watered them in several days now, do you think they will make a comeback? Is there anything I can do to help them? The pots they are in are tiny, but they do have drainage holes at the bottom. Any tips appreciated for a first time carnivorous plant owner :)
