Hey there! First time poster, long time listener. I’ve just brought in a few nepenthes and drosera with the short term goal of putting them to work on my fungus gnat infestation and long term goal of adding a terrarium just for the carnivorous crew when they get a little bigger. Any tips or tricks or tid bits to help them get to thriving
Update on my bog after a little over 2 weeks. They’ve acclimated to the sun, Venus flytraps are looking happy, and the pitchers got their red color back! Also that sundew is a bug catching machine 🙌🏽
Is this normal?? In addition to the long center stem, the core (center) moss wrap that the plant originally came wrapped in has now turned black. This spring makes a full year of having this plant, and it was overwintered in the fridge as suggested.
My Nepenthes ventrata’s first new pitcher in my care! The pitcher isn’t fully formed yet, but so proud I didn’t kill her within the first month (😅) 🥹 healthy little girlie
Is this pitcher plant leaf scorched? I just moved it to a terrarium with a grow light so I can better control the humidity, and wondering if I had it too close? Nothing else has changed. Still watering with distilled water, continually wet, and in the same pot.
Da Bogs growing back! And way more dews than I was expecting! And the jonesii started flowering
Hello everyone! I'm planning on getting a pitcher plant or two, I'm thinking one will be a hanging and another will be a trumpet. Since it's finally starting to warm up where I live, it's the perfect time for me to get my first carnivorous, but I'm curious about the care, any tips?
This was my sundew before it turned brown and I had to prune it. Roots are intact and I watered it right after this picture was taken. I don’t see any green so I was wondering is my plant dead or can I bring it back? Will it grow back? I’m so attached to my plants specially this one since it’s the one I’ve had the longest :( I really want my plant to be healthy. Any tips and recommendations will help. Thank you guys ❣️
My dewy pine is finally flowering, I’m loving the flowers for sure.
Moved recently and had to part with my 10+ year-old Nepenthes. Just picked up these guys on a whim and the only species data lists generic hybrid of Nepenthes. Anyone have some good guidance on differentiating lowland vs highland Nepenthes based just on leaves? I'm imagining it may be far too early to tell, but figured I'd check in just in case.
I started with 1 a year ago
Bobs first new trap in my care. I feel like a proud father🥹
I’m looking for a plant I can keep indoors, does anyone know any that don’t require sunlight? Just an FYI I do have a cat, so nothing that could harm her please!
Planted some Dionaea m. “Triangular Teeth” on April 12th from #CaliforniaCarnivores. Ended up also ordering 4 other sets of seeds so those will be coming in later lol these will grow sooner so consider these the older brothers/sisters of the rest of them.
Anyone in Austin TX (USA) know some places to shop for carnivorous plants with reasonable prices? I really want to get a pinguicula!!
Just got and repotted my Bog Kit from #CaliforniaCarnivores. Soaking in some morning sun 🤘🏽
I just got this little goober, any tips on how to take care of him? I have never owned any carnivorous plants before and know this is a stretch in my ability to keep plants alive. I know they like rainwater/distilled water, need tons of humidity and lots of light. Anything helps!
Just got my first Venus Flytrap!
So I have this nepenthes.. no idea of the exact variety, he’s grown a ton in the past few months but won’t develop any more pitchers. Does anyone know why they do this? Also if you know the variety that’d be awesome. There are pictures of the tiny pitchers in the plant tag.
I’m thinking of getting a Venus flytrap as my entrance to the carnivorous side of plants. Is there anything I should know before hand? I know they’re sensitive to unfiltered water and need tons of humidity and light. Anything helps!
