Of 4 stems and two flower stalks I’ve got one left and I think it’s a good-un! There is an itty bitty baby trap coming in!!!! My first attempt(s) 🤞

Been having some issues with my pitched plant that I can’t figure out. It’s only on a couple leaves but I don’t want it to get any worse. Any ideas on what’s going on ?

It is very happy, but no pitchers! I am using tap water, should I switch to distilled? Should I fertilize? Can anyone spot a pest or disease? Thanks!

Trying to nurse this baby back to health. It used to be a pretty decent size but then just started dying, so I cut off all the black pieces and the dead stem sticking out. Took it out of its old pot and realized that the roots were wrapped in a cloth so I removed that and rinsed off the roots. Repotted it in spagnum moss, and have it sitting in water. Any other suggestions?

Lily is from a kit I bought from Home depot, this Saturday will make 4 weeks since I potted her. I was hoping if someone could tell me if she's growing properly since this is my first time.

Got this gal in the mail today! I’m studying up on how to care for her. Just got some distilled water and brought the humidifier out. Any advice welcomed!

My Venus flytrap from a kit is growing now too! My pitcher plant has five growth points already :) I know I just did an update, but I’m so happy they’re growing bc I never thought it would work 😂

Just picked these babies up from Carnivero here in ATX. The flytrap has been named “King Henry” per Carnivero and we’re keeping it! The Butterwort is now named “Maple”. Excited to get these babies potted and growing!

Got this fly trap from a store a month or two ago, decided to try and save it as it wasn’t doing well. Cut off the dead traps, full sun and good distilled water, and when the traps became healthy enough to close again I gave it two spiders I found. Thought it had been improving but now it’s getting brown/dead spots again and the traps don’t respond when I move a dead bug around in them to feed it. Any advice as to why? Wondering if I should just cut all the traps at this point and solely focus on new growth from it

I planted a dormant pitcher plant about a week ago, and here is the growth!

Hello! I have been wanting a carnivorous plant for a few weeks, but I have no idea where I can get one. Any ideas?

I just bought these trumpet pitchers and wanted to know if anyone knew the best way to care for them? Also, should I be concerned about the browning tips? Thanks so much ^^^^

•Just got an Venus flytrap, I believe it’s the werewolf variant if my id is correct. •Believe it or not he was the healthiest of the few there. •Can I have some tips and advice how to get him back in the swing of things? •Also it says not to use fertilizer on it, but I water using a naturally fertilized water from my aquariums I keep. Is this ok or??? Ik I have heard use r/o or rainwater but I don’t have r/o and idk how much rain water is in my barrel that my family uses on the outdoor plants.

Made this little bog arrangement for my fly trap!

I JUST got this guy from the store… but he looks a little sad. I’m not really sure the best way to care for him. Any advice? He is under a grow light.

First time my Venus fly trap has been fed so far!!!

I’ve kept pitchers for a number of years but I’m finally branching out into other varieties! Got 3 itty pings from an Etsy seller, and this one is my new favorite. <3 Supposedly they’re more difficult than pitchers, so I’m hoping I manage to keep them all healthy. They got here just over a week ago and no major negative changes yet, so I’m feeling positive!
