I found this pitcher plant at Food City today. If anyone has any advice about how to care for it I’d appreciate it.

Starting freaking out yesterday thinking my Nepenthes St Gaya had scale. After looking closely I realized it's just EFN. This plant has been putting out beautiful pitchers like crazy and is quickly becoming a favorite in my collection, if it had a pest infestation I'd be inconsolable!

Need some identification help. I just bought this pinguicula, but I don’t know what type it is. I intend to repot it, but I’m seeing different recommendations based on whether the species is temperate or tropical. And any recommendations for soil and such would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

hey y’all! i got a venus fly trap yesterday and i set it on my window seal, but im in a basement-ish area with a few plants outside my window so there isn’t a ton of sun coming in. should i get a grow lamp for my fly trap to make it happier? also, does anyone have any recommendations for getting it more bugs if there aren’t a ton roaming around my house?

Can someone let me know why my plants are turning brown and black? It is too much water? Too little? Too much sun? Not enough? I water them when I notice the soil is dry and I manually feed them as well when I catch bugs in my house. Even the baby pitchers are turning brown. I don’t know what to do.

Hi all! This is my first pitcher plant, and overall I think it’s doing pretty well. Nice green growth, new tendrils, seems happy. It had pitchers on it when I got it and they have since dried up. I have all these nice looking tendrils, but none of them seem to be developing into pitchers. I noticed a little while ago that some new leaves were growing near the base and now one of them has a pitcher. Does this mean the other tendrils are not going to turn into pitchers? What can I do to encourage this? It’s in a window and also has supplemental light, so I don’t think it’s a light issue. It’s potted in carnivorous soil with some sphagnum moss mixed in. Any help is appreciated 🙂
