Soooo… my cat ate my Venus fly trap when I had my back turned, the little brat. I haven’t touched it other than keeping its water reservoir filled, but any ideas if this is gonna die on me or will it produce more leaves/stems? Is there anything I can give it to help it out? Poor fellow.

I got a Venus flytrap but I accidentally touched all of its traps and they all closed what should I do?

Pinguicula primuliflora (primrose butterwort) flower! **planta lessened my expensive camera photo quality, but it’s still pretty 😭**

My dad got me this cute little pitcher plant as a nice gift, and I’d like to have some tips on how to care for it. This is a nepenthes x ventrata. I have a little experience with carnivorous plants (two Venus fly traps, both dead from bad conditions before adoption). Pls help, I REALLY do not want to mess this up!

Was doing some pre-spring maintenance on the stoop..and chopping back pitchers. lookit the sundews coming out of dormancy! I'd never kept dews outdoors before, just VFT and Sarracenia and heliamphora. But the seller is got this pot from lives in the PNW and says they've been fine.

Just added 3 more carnivorous plants to my collection 🤗🤗 so happy, I got the drosera on discount from the garden centre still alive but obviously not thriving would love any info of how to get her looking happier

After a long time of planning I finally built my first bog garden for the patio 😆 UPDATE- I just cleaned it up and replaced the dead moss that was black after noticing the water was completely dried up and the water level indicator was stuck. The flytrap bloomed and died in a month and I decided not to replace it. I think the rest of the plants are filling out nicely. I also moved it to a sunnier location because it looks too green

Hi guys update. I checked the soil and roots and I don’t know if this looks okay. I swear I haven’t done anything different so I don’t know what could be wrong. I’ve had this plant for a year so I don’t know.

Hi everyone. I’ve crossed over to the carnivorous side lol. Just got my Pings in the mail today and I’m super excited. Spent a couple hours videoing what to do with them and came up with making this. It’s an old glass candle jar. Also, rescued a Venus fly trap from Walmart. I put it in water and it’s already doing so much better but if anyone has any suggestions, I’m not well versed on Venus flytraps yet and haven’t had the time to look into videos for care yet. Thanks!

I don’t know why my sundew is drying out. Can anyone help me? I haven’t done anything different. Could it be because it’s so cold outside? If so are there any tips to help?

Dewy Pines are one of my favorite carnivorous plants, I’m so proud of mine’s growth!

so my venus flytrap (left) wasn't doing very well it produced another baby (right) and now they're both flowering?!?! like do i just cut the stem off because i've been hearing the flower stalk takes a lot of its energy. also is it going to produce seeds if i cut off the stalks and keep them?

I have to give a shout out to my new favorite grower, Blue Ridge Exotics! They are located in North Carolina, they pack them so good that they arrived in perfect condition and no spilled soil in the box. Only took a couple days to get them vs over a week from California

Hi guys :) I got a purple pitcher plant for Vday and I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to water it, take care of it etc.? I don’t want to over water it but I also don’t want to underwater. Any tips and advice will be helpful

Has anyone put together a “bog bowl” for your carnivorous plant babies? I saw a photo of one (similar to the one attached to this post- not my photo) and have been obsessed ever since! Any inspiration pics or helpful pointers from my planta colleagues? lol 🪰🌱

I’ve never owned a pitcher plant before, but when I saw this one at the farmers market I decided I wanted to try. I knew little to nothing about how to care for it, so I did a little research. I plan to buy distilled water, mist it, and place it in sunlight. I still feel a bit lost. Do I need to cut off the dying pitchers? Is the brown ends (3rd photo) new growth or dying?

hi!!! my ping (Pinguicula moranensis var. caudata x spec. Guatemala) has been putting out flower after flower, but it hasn’t any produced any sticky since i got it. she looks healthy and has definitely gotten bigger since i got her. it’s potted in a bog bowl with a layer of horticultural lava rocks at the bottom for drainage. potting medium is sphagnum peat moss and perlite. it is heavily watered with distilled water, but i let it dry out slightly during the winter months. i live in Jacksonville, Fl, and it is kept on a north facing window sill. does anyone know why it keeps flowering, but not producing any sticky stuff? it’s pushing on two new flowers, and has one flower right now. also, can i put a cape sundew and spoon leaf sundew in the bog bowl with the ping? thanks bunches! pics taken on my cat’s cat tree (much to her annoyance) bc it’s dark out!
