Is it typical for nepenthes to drop pitchers this time of year or is my nepenthes st gaya unhappy about something? He has been under grow lights since September and has been thriving until about 1-2 weeks ago, in which time he's started to drop 3 pitchers. The first one is totally black, the second one has this crazy line of healthy tissue at the bottom, and today I noticed a third pitcher starting to brown. These are not the oldest pitchers, there are at least 2-3 older pitchers that are still healthy. My humidity has been in the 30-40%s for the past month but is 50%+ most of the year. I haven't checked the roots but i suspect this plant might be getting rootbound so maybe it needs a repot, but not sure if that leads to pitcher death. There are also multiple basal shoots growing like crazy so maybe the mother plant is dying off to support them...? Any insight is appreciated as i have never had this issue before!

Do I need to repot my pinguicula sethos? I have had it almost a year and haven’t repotted it. It’s my first and only carnivorous plant so I am looking for care and repotting tips! Thank you!

Anyone got any ideas why my nepenthes isn’t producing anymore pitchers I’ve had it a couple months now and it doesn’t seem like it’s grown at all

I’m brand new to carnivorous plants and was watering my pitcher plant with regular water for the first few weeks. I realized the mistake and switched to distilled water, but is there anything I should do to clean the plant or flush out hard water buildup?

Hello! I go by B, and I like growing tropical plants. I am hoping to get help potting, displaying, and tricks/tips on growing Carnivorus plants. I grow pings, nepenthes, drosera, pitchers, VFT, monstera, pothos, and I’m learning alocacia and philodendron care now :]

I just bought my first carnivorous plants(!!!!) and have no idea what I’m doing. They seem to be Venus fly traps and pitcher plants in a pre-made bog. One chunk of the Venus fly traps was already dead (see empty brown spot). I bought some distilled water, but now what? The pitchers are filled with gnats (yay!) but the fly traps are itty bitty. Do I need to repot? Fill it in with more plants? How often should I be watering? Help! I’m banking on these little friends to help with my gnat problem so I want to make sure I’m paying them for their efforts 😂

I left my Venus fly trap outside so it could get some sun, three days later..and many, many, inches of 🌧️ rain 🌧️. I remembered 😱 it was outside and found it submerged in water. 🤯 on the bright side it prefers a moist environment, probably a bit too wet for its liking, eh? 🤔. Currently undrowned & leaving it be. Now what? -waiting to see
