So, I've got about seven or eight carnivorous plants. A Venus fly trap, a few drosera and a few pitcher plants. It's still kinda cold here in PA. Do y'all think it would be alright if I put a heating mat for a reptile enclosure underneath them? Their spaghnum moss is COLD to the touch and I really don't want the babies to die.

Two of my baby nepenthes each pushed out a new pitcher this last week and they’re so much bigger than the previous growth almost double the size 😍

Google says I'm supposed to let my Venus flytrap sit in a tray of water? Always.. would it be better to have it semi-hydro and some LECA ? Or is it fine in its little pot

I JUST got a Bloody Mary Pitcher plant. I know it only likes lime free water (rain, distilled, etc) and it likes high humidity. So my question is do I also have to use distilled water in my humidifier? I get I should (less build up) but I go through a gallon of water daily per each humidifier and that’s $$$$. Just wanting to see how necessary it is. #SingleMomBudget

After months of trying to figure it out for these guys I finally have sufficient light!! All it took was 4 weeks after moving to a place with a lot more light and using grow lights. Leaves are big again and taking the shapes and colors they want!!! I love My pings.
