Got 8 new flytraps today (not all pictured). They’re not looking the greatest since they just came out of the mail but, they’ll look great this coming spring!

I have two alatas with this now and I’m wondering if it’s fungus? I clean them every month with peppermint soap and neem oil to keep bugs away but it’s not helping Update: I cut the damaged leaves off and cleaned with peppermint soap and neem oil. I also found out that it’s a ventracosa and not an alata as it is sold to me as on EBay lol

Hi!! over the weekend i got a pinguicula blush and a drosera spatulata and was just looking for some tips on these! i’ve had a drosera before and killed it but it’s been over a year since then and i’ve had a lot more experience with plants since then as well. right now i have them in a plastic terrarium under a grow light, is that substantial for them??

Anybody else just love Utricularia?? I just love their flowers. Really want to set up a palladium and get some water ones. This is U. bisquamata 'Betty's Bay'. Not much yo see yet.

I really hope this darkens up as much as the stock pick. It's so pretty

can anyone tell me how my venus fly trap is doing? he started flowering about two weeks ago but his heads have looks progressively worse since then. Over the holidays, he was placed temporarily by a drafty window, could he be going into dormancy? is he just dying? any tips are appreciated! 🫶🏻

Anyone know what is this long sprout coming out of my plant? She’s happy but I’ve not seen one of these before?

is my venus fly trap too far gone the traps that withered weren't able to close on food and the sphagnum moss keeps creating mold from the moisture

Hi! I’m looking for some suggestions for a good beginner carnivorous plants for someone who lives in the colder area of the Midwest. I have a good sunlight in my room and I’m open to getting a grow light if needed (suggestions for a good grow light would be appreciated as well).

My pings are pupping 🥰

question for venus fly trap owners! is there a way to tell the difference between if your venus fly trap is going into dormancy or if it's just dying?

hey! i bought fly trap seeds, it says they can take 1-3 months to sprout, i’ve had them planted a bit over a month, does anyone have any advice on how to take care of them? i bought a lamp for them and i only use distilled water, i mist the water. should i soak the soil? should i put them in a different pot? the kit came with this bowl 🌱 is the heat source too close or too far away? how often should i turn the lamp on? its 25W. any input would be greatly appreciated on how i could take better care of them!
