My Venus fly trap caught a fly, that was several days ago. Should I leave it or remove it?

A got this plant a few weeks ago, and it was doing pretty good for the most part. But lately some of the leaves (mostly older growth) have been getting yellow and brown. I have the correct type of soil and my pot has a glaze so there’s no problem with that. I also use distilled water, (I make sure I water it every day because that’s what I was told to do, but now I think that might be the problem. In the day I have a very sunny window and it gets about six hours of sunlight. I’m really not sure what I’m doing wrong, and wondered if anyone had any ideas?

I just got this Nepenthes a couple weeks ago and its pitchers have been turning brown and crinkly. It's watered regularly with distilled water so soil stays moist. I have moved since getting it and it was in low light for a little so I'm hoping it's stress considering none of its leaves have died just the pitchers

Update on my babies this year! I've repotted them in their new planter box and they are doing great. On hot days i use a shade cloth so they don't get sunburn. Other than that I'm happy to see them happy as well 😊

Caught her first fly today 😯

Got my first carnivorous plant yesterday. Drosera capensis. Purchased in addition to nematodes and a Butterwort to try and bring down a fungus gnat infestation when other methods have failed. Is it worth also treating with nematodes? And should I cover the top soil with sphagnum moss as the soil has settled lower than the root plug (hard to tell in photos). How long will it take for the sap to return, and anything I should expect or look out for during the adjustment period? Thanks in advance. 😊

Dealing with mold in my terrarium?? I just got this terrarium and it's growing mold! Can I spray it with a 50% vinegar solution, or will that be harmful to the plants?

Are there any indirect to low low-light carnivorous plants??

Help! Not sure why my venus flytrap dies off so quickly, it's sitting in a windowsill and I keep it wet. What am I missing??

Purchased this beautiful Drosera Aliciae about a month ago, and they shot up a flower spike! I’ve just let them be, and watered when the soil looked a little dull (from glossy to a matte wet). I have a plant with a mild case of fungus gnats, and my Sundew is reaping the benefit 😅 If I’ve learned anything about them so far - love em’ and leave em’ alone.

Hey guys! So I got this Mexican Butterwort a couple months ago, and she was doing just fine, eating fruit flies and having the time of her life. I brought her back home from college, and she was still doing great, killing a lot more bugs and happy. This morning, I looked at her to water her (recommended from this app), and her leaves/petals looked brown and droopy, almost rotten. I have no clue why it looks like this or what happened to make her rot. What should/can I do to help her? Update: she smells like rubbing alcohol and her settles are getting worse

Any suggestions for absolute beginner carnivorous plants? I'm pretty good at most plants but I've never tried one of these before and would like to start with something durable. I'd likely put it in a terrarium shared with high-humidity species if that helps

Just took home this little guy and I’ve never had a carnivorous plant (with the exception of a Venus fly trap as a kid, which I sadly killed very promptly lol 😢). I’ve done some research and know some general care tips, but does anyone have specific brand or product recommendations for 1) soil for eventual repotting, or 2) food/nutrients if it needs it?

Hi y’all, I wanted to see your recommendations as far as a carnivorous plant goes. I specifically want one that can help me with my fungus knat problem, but I also just want one in general. This is just an add on. I have no prior experience in this category of plants. I’ve read about the butter wort but wanted to know your opinions? And where you recommend I purchase from that you’ve had good experiences with. Thank you!

I bought my first nepenthes on a trip to Longwood Gardens. Can anyone identify the cultivar please?

Brand new pitcher plant owner! Any tips on keeping him alive and happy?

New to being a plant lady. Received this double monkey pitcher plant in Feb. and it's been doing well. I did not repot because I'm scared. I'm wondering if these two plants should be separated? Seems small for the two of them. I'm not getting pitchers yet but am seeing a lot of healthy new growth. Any advice appreciated and feel free to dumb it down for someone who is recently learning to keep plants alive.
