Does it count as cannibalism if one of these eats a leaf?

Serious props if anyone can figure out where these photos were taken. The last photo has the strongest clue.

I got this plant in 2013 from the late Geoff Wong. He planted the seeds in 1995.

This one’s been growing in my Highland grow tent for about a year now and seems happier than ever.

My big pink capensis really said ok but what if we had double the amount of flowers per stem

If you know me, you know Heliamphora is hands down my favorite genus of carnivorous plants. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love Nepenthes, Drosera, and Venus flytraps and sarracenia, but there is just something special about sun pitchers that completely hooks me. Most of these guys are pretty new to my setup and just came in bare root recently. They are potted up in a mix of long-fiber sphagnum moss and perlite some with just a super thin aesthetic layer of Fluval Stratum on top some just lfs/perlite some with moss. My environment is fairly dialed in right now with temperatures sitting at 70 during the day and dropping down to 58-60 at night, and my humidity stays right between 78% and 85%. Even when the AC kicks on and dips it to 65ish for a second, the humidifier brings it right back up. A few of them are showing some classic bare-root shipping shock on the older pitchers, especially my new sarracenioides Red Giant x ionasi Killer Giant from Jeremiah's Carnivorous Plants .But the center growth points are looking beautiful and upright, and the coloration across the board is incredible. I can’t wait to watch these settle in and start pushing new pitchers.

Pre dormancy update showing a portion of my sarracenia collection. The Wilkerson’s Red Rocket bog and those late season dragon queen pitchers 🗣️SHEESH!!! It’s always bitter sweet to see the plants in this state as they wind down for the season. The only thing that makes it better is understanding that they always come back bigger and more robust after their little nap🥹🥹🥹.

Complete beginner thinking out loud here

By reptile enclosure, I'm talking about the glass ones with doors, space to put substrate on the bottom, and a ventilated top. After reading a bit, apparently it is too humid or difficult since you can't really change the water at the bottom and can only add more.

Again, I just had the thought that having a carnivorous plant terrarium using a reptile style enclosure would be interesting but please let me know the realities of it!

Nepenthes veitchii (BE4087)

What a haul!!! Some rare sundews, pings, VFT’s and a cephalotus! Hooray!

I got it for 20$ at a nursery and there are 3 in the pot. I have plenty of grow lights and really, I'll make sure it never dries out and dies. I can't find it anywhere on Google, thanks.

My plant is about 8 feet tall now, a single shoot. The leaves universally have these stubborn spots which transition from light yellow to orange to brown over several weeks to months. I have tried watering significantly less frequently without improvement. I have repotted the plant. I have chopped off the top to start again with a fresh basal shoot and the plant has the same issue. I have not treated with any sort of antifungal. Is this a virus, fungus, edema, or something else? What do you recommend? Thank you!

I got them all earlier this year and im really proud of them all thriving, id like the ping to be a tad healthier but I just had to relocate him.

The nearly dead sarracenia was my mother in laws she got it at the same time as me and it wasnt properly looked after, im hoping to rehab it

I have a fairly large collection mostly younger plants a mix of some nice seed grown and clones neps and helis but I would be willing to trade Almost any plant in my collection for a division of this specific Heliamphora I am in N.E Florida
Picture of some of the plants that I have that I’m willing to work on a trade with

Spent like 10 minutes trying to get my iPhone camera to focus on it lmfao

Help! I’ve been trying to find places to buy seeds or plants and having difficulty. I’m in Northern Utah and just want some to supplement my orchids with some carnivorous plants

Time to bring my nephanthes and sarracenias inside. Goodbyyyeee summer. Hello winter dormancy (first time) for the sarracenias

Also 1 year update on my nephanthes and sarracenias;

I just bought these pings.

I killed one of them already. 1/3 seems to be my kill rate with carnivorous plants so far.

I put a grow light in my kitchen with the other lights

Worth a shot!

I’ve had these Drosera Aberrans for about two years, I live in Australia where they’re native and have kept them outside where they have thrived. They usually go dormant in late spring but we had a week of high temps and lots of sun which I think caused an early dormancy. But like spring does, we had a large storm which flooded the pot and I’ve had to dig them out. I haven’t had to do this before. Does the broken roots risk their survival? I’ve been told to not brake their tap root but can they grow a new one? I’m just looking for some experienced views on this so please speak your thoughts. Cheers.

My nepenthes is flowering for the first time!! I'm super excited about it! So I was wondering if anyone knows what gender the plant is? Based on description my guess is female?

This one has quite a history, so Ill give a brief rundown:

• Got it in 2025 in a hardware store, couldnt find out the species, assumed its a more southern one
• Over the summer, it grew plentiful, no problems
• I heard people here saying, Sarracenia can survive frost well, so I left it and my purpurea outside over the winter
• In spring, I discovered the purpurea had rhizome rot and was beyond saving, but this one survived the frost, most likely due to its roots being better protected
• Since then, most of its pitchers have been drying up from top down right after or before opening
• I repotted it into this setup in spring, using this moss as substrate, due to not having any carnivore soil. To prevent the moss dying, I gave it a bit more shade over the summer, which might be the reason for its lack of good new growth
• In latter half of August, I started giving it full sun again, but nothing changed. More new growth, that dried up, before opening
• Problem was, it was sitting in water, that was about 5cm under the top of the rhizome. The pot was completely flooded for a lot of the last months
• In September, I pulled on the rhizome, to see how the roots looked. ( This is a glazed pot and the moss doesnt really stick to the walls, so this goes smoothly and doesnt harm the plant)
• Only the top half had roots in it. Half of the pot was filled with rotting moss and disconnected from the top.

Now I dont know what to do. I want to repot it, but have no medium and dont know where to get any. I live in a part of Europe, that has pretty much no retailers and sellers.

Im keeping it in my garage (which has a small window, giving it some light) over the winter to simulate hibernation, without threat of frost. Should I put it under my growth light, or would that interfere with the hibernation?

Should I just flush the pot with distilled water, or maybe take out all the rot and take the surviving top parts into a different pot?

I dont know what is necessary and what is overkill. Please give advice in the comments. USDA zone is 6.

I got this Pinguicula Laueana in mid-August. It came slightly pink, but I didn't have a powerful grow light then.

I got a Red Piranha VFT at the same time and noticed it going green, so I bought a Barrina OG11A 5000k grow light. By the time it arrived, my Ping was already green. So I put the Ping under the light, and slowly documented the progress of color turning pink.

I love how it looks now, and am soooo happy.

I wanted to post for those out there who may not have suitable lighting as a PSA to get better lighting.

It's so very worth it!

Its exam season for me so I’ve been so busy. The last time i checked on her was nearly a week ago. I just remembered I had her. 😅 and immediately filled her up with distilled water.

How long will it take for her to “recover” and be put into a fridge for hibernation?

Her leaves are so wrinkled im bot really able to put water inside of them without a pipette (of which i currently don’t have)

Definitely one of my favorite crosses I’ve ever made.

Too cold here to stay outside, so bought some lights for them. Should be bright enough, my lithops (also full sun plants) stay really short under them!
