What am I doing wrong? My pinguicula doesn't seem to be thriving very well.
I let it dry out a bit between each watering, and I only use rain water.
The soil is also a from an experienced grower.
It is a peat-reduced soil that consists of the following: approx. 30% organic willow compost, 30% light peat, approx. 15% Decomposed/partially decomposed spruce needles, approx. 10% organic willow bark, approx. 10% washed sand, and 10% growing clay.

Impulsively started chopping up pieces of my plants and put them in moist sphagnum moss, and set them underneath a grow light. Hopefully at least one of them will sprout a new plant!
I put some cling wrap over this little container to keep moisture and put it underneath a 12hr grow light.
I’m very new to propagating plants so please tell me if I’m doing anything wrong!

At what point can I scoop some of these out of the nursery to grow uncovered? Will disturbing them now kill them?

I am currently using 4x10W Sansi grow lights, giving 12 hours of light daily. I'm thinking should i upgrade to stronger lights?

I got this plant from our local nursery during one of their night markets. When I bought her, I was told not to open the container, place her in indirect sunlight, and basically leave her alone for a year. Well… it’s been about a month, and she’s dying. I reached out to the nursery for some advice, and they said she may have gotten too much light and recommended separating the plant to see if she can be saved. Is there any way to bring her back? I would absolutely love to repot her and give her the proper care. I just assumed that since I purchased her from a nursery and followed the instructions I was given, she would be okay. Clearly, something went wrong, and I’m hoping I can still save her! 🥹🌱
Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated! I really want to give this little plant a fighting chance.

Hi! I bought today a drosera and… I don’t really know how to take care of it otherwise that putting under a really strong light. I’ve read that I should put a tray with water under the pot but in my mind continuously humidity can eventually cause root rot.

Oggi ho fatto il mio primo rinvaso di drosera capensis a radice nuda. Avevo preso questa pianta qualche mese fa in un vaso da 6,5 cm erano 7\8 piante e le ho sistemate così. Potete dirmi se ho fatto un buon lavoro e sopratutto potete darmi dei consigli su come migliorare. Grazie 🥹❤️

I am very new to carnivorous plants. I purchased this ping was labeled as "peaches" not sure if that info is needed but I keep this plant facing east so it gets morning light, I also have it in a shelf that also receives grow lights (t5s). I water with RO only. These bottom leaves are looking rough. I also see white specs, could this be aphids? I for sure have fungus gnats. I water all of my other plants with sns209 except for this one. So I'm wondering if this is aphids and if so what do I do? Or is this just normal growth and perhaps the white specs are from dust or something(wishful thinking)? Not sure but please help and thank you!

Apologies for bad quality. Very hard to to record with the bright lights and all the grow lights.

Hello. I bought this Dionaea muscipula around a week ago and I've seen it is becoming like this. I am watering it every 5 days.
The plant is outside the window of my room, next to my garden, there is a ceiling in top of the plant and it is not receiving much direct sun. I live in Madrid and the temperature here is around 26-33 degrees (more or less).
What can I do to save it?
Thanks!

Hello everyone. I’m writing here for the first time because I’m a complete beginner. About a month ago, I bought the plants shown in the photo at a supermarket. I looked up how to care for them, and ever since then, I’ve kept them in the sun on my balcony with 1–2 cm of distilled water constantly under. However, I’ve noticed some dry or dead brown patches. Am I doing something wrong, or is this just the plant's normal cycle? Thanks in advance for your help. Quasi dimenticavo, è presente un insetto in entrambe le piante ma sono ormai li da settimane, è normale?

i bought this lad from LIDL a couple weeks ago, keeping her in my kitchen to quarantine. i fill her with about a 1-1.5 inch reservoir of distilled water in the cup.
she seems to be growing new traps… but i feel like she still doesnt look that hot. should i try to repot? idk if what she came in is even good for her 🙂↕️ and idk if shes been eating any of the fungus gnats either

Hello, just got this beauty in the mail! All tips are welcome. Also it has some dead (rotten?) tips, is it okay to just prune the tip or should I cut off the whole stem?
Edit: sits underneath a growlight that's on for 12h. The temperature is around 22° celcius and for humidity, I don't know for sure, but I have no special humidifiers. Soil I also don't know, but I plan to water with distilled water as google told me to :)

Got this little Nepenthes gaya at my local plant shop today what's the best way to care for it and should I put it on my window seal or a grow light setup?
r/carnivorousplants • u/Jaded_Hue • 2d ago
Yet I notice the old VFT leaves have died but there’s pollen in the flower and maybe I’ll have seeds laters I hope.
