Almost time to harvest some spatulata seed.
All my Venus fly trapโs flowers have opened and my VFT is healthy and not dying.๐ฅฐ
Pete update! I removed all the leaves and placed him where I put my plants for dormancy. He is looking green and is even growing a bit during dormancy. Probably going to repot soon since when he had lots of leaves he was running out of room. Heโs small but healthy and looks like he will be very happy in spring!
Hi, Iโm new to owning nepenthes but not to carnivorous plants in general, I was wondering if anyone can help me with this one, itโs from a garden centre and was very neglected, Iโve been trying to nurse it back to health but itโs still struggling, Iโve changed its soil to a better mix and kept it under the same conditions as my other two but it just wonโt perk up, any advice to help it recover? Itโs a nepenthes gaya btw
I would love to see pictures of your Pings! Comment them! Iโm thinking about getting one! (Picture by Lizzie Harper)
After some trial and error with placement, my pitcher plant (Nepenthes ventrata) is finally giving me some pitchers. They are even catching insects which I was not expecting. What a treat! โจ๐ฟโจ
Please someone help Iโm new to carnivorous plants and this flu trap started failing on me what do I do!!! I fed her a few pill bugs and a beetle three weeks ago and things went downhill from there
I just love the collar on this pitcher Maximus which I believe is called a peristome.
This pitcher is my first carni plant. I've read that I should only repot once it's gone into its dormant phase. She's currently in my kitchen window and seems happy as she's grown several more pitchers, but I'm wondering if I should move her somewhere cooler? I'm in the UK and the central heating system keeps the temp fairly constant, so wasn't sure if she'd go dormant if I left her where she is?
Whatโs wrong with my Venus fly I use rainwater and it sits pretty close to the window and I never let the Spagna dry out
Any idea why they are black???

Sarracenia jonesii my love! Just waiting for the dormancy to set it
Hey just wondering what do you guys do when you get a new baby carnivorous plant in fall that needs dormancy. Personally I like to let it do its thing and go into a soft dormancy due to lack of light. Then the next year I put it in a colder area for full dormancy. The light is a bigger contributor anyway. I find this gives it time to develop a little more without too much shock.
Why are my vets mouths crooked
Nepenthes maxima
Venus Fly traps! I've always been fascinated with Venus fly traps! The first I got came from lowes and was on its Last leg, but I gave it tap water not distilled and it quickly died. Secondly I bought a seed staring kit and used distilled water and took very good care of it, yet they never came up. Long story short where can I get good cheap Venus fly traps or cool carnivorous plants? It's oki if they need a little help but I don't want them to die!!! And ofc the cheaper the better! I would also be up for seed staring kits if they actually come up ๐! THANKS!!
So I just got this sarracenia pitcher plant and I was hoping I could get some care tips. (I already know about the water, soil, dormancy, and light, Iโm looking for more advanced advice).
I just put my Alata in this hanger and removed the Velcro from the stick. Iโm hoping that the string will be enough support without the stick. What do you think? ๐ค
