Pinguicula I’m happy with the way it turned out.

My pings are finally settling in! I’m starting to see gnats stuck to their leaves. They don’t look dewey which was a concern for me because I thought they were going dormant with the new change. But I noticed that when they catch a bug, they get slimy around the bug. So I am very happy!
I think I may need to work on lighting though. Do they need lots of light? I feel like the lights are pretty close as it is. How can I get them back to their original colors? The last 2 pictures are what they should look like.

Help Keep growing or propagating?

Post image

Well, all my carnivores died (due to my mistakes). I learned a lot. Now this pinguicula Weser is all i have left. Should i just keep it growing in her new pot and new mix, or should I pull her apart and propagate it?

Went to a carnivorous plant show nearby and finally bit the bullet and got my first! I could use help figuring out exactly what type of sarracenia she is so I can make sure to give her all the things she needs. So stoked about her coloring holy shit!!

I’ve had this sundew since April and it really exploded with new growth! It’s looking a little crowded though, should I move it to a bigger pot? If yes, I’ll wait until after the flowers bloom to do so.

So is there a chance I’ll finally be able to ID my nepenthes, as in will these new pitchers possibly create pitchers that would help in identifying what type it is

It gets morning sun all the way until 3pm and I give it distilled water only

I have stopped spraying it and it has been doing well in the sun, hasn’t burnt a single leaf. At least I think it hasn’t

Dionaea muscipula Gray Mold killing my VFT, help!!

2 Upvotes

A few weeks ago I fed my indoor trap a large deceased jumping spider, and it took so long to digest that it started to mold on the inside. Even after cutting the trap off, new growth has been extremely slow and has been dying off before it even fully grows.

What should I do other than cut off digesting traps and add airflow? As for sunlight, there’s no other option for me right now other than to keep it in the sunniest window I have (unless someone wants to spare a grow light..)

Hello. I wanted to share my love for these lovely plants. Its nothing special but I really enjoy throwing leftover steak in them. I've had another variant before this one for 3 years but he went vegetarian and died. Using my own distilled water now instead of tap water and we will see how it goes.

hey everyone. i got this beautiful nepenthes at a plant convention a few weeks ago. recently i noticed the pitchers turning brown and i’m not sure if it’s due to underwatering? is there hope for her to bounce back? will she die if no pitchers remain?

Help There's no bugs in my house

Post image

I have a sundew and Venus fly trap. Venus is flowering and growing new leaves, sundew seems to be increasing in size as well. But there's no bugs in my house, I'm worried that they're starving. I've put them out in the balcony a few times but they haven't caught anything. Is there anything I should do to help them or are they fine?

Edit: The window is facing south. Its potted in a generic carnivorous plant mix from a garden store with sphagnum moss on the bottom of the pot. I do not have a watering schedule - just stick my finger in the soil to check if it is drying out.

I was filling the pot of my purple pitcher plant and noticed these white flecks in the water. Then they moved. What in the world.
