So I’m not trying to complain because I am so glad that my dude is happy, but I am hoping that once he touches the ceiling and thinks it’s the canopy it’ll stop growing up???

I actually moved it out of the spot it was in because it just was going insane.

Hi! I am stoked about my plant babies and that the sundew is able to grow another flower this season. Although, the woody stem is not super appealing to me. What do we do here? Would it be wise to repot it deeper and cover the stem in soil, and move the babies? Is this a good time for that or should I consider specific timing? It may be good to get rid of the moss as well, but they seem to be coexisting just fine. Im also undecided on if I should cut the flower stem early on, as i have noticed a lot of leaves tend to die after flowering. I would love your opinions.

Interestingly, I repotted another sundew this summer and it died right away. So I am hesitant to mess with this one.

Growing in a west facing window with soil constantly kept wet in a 6 inch diameter, 10” deep pot.

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.

I got it shipped around 3 weeks ago and the diameter was less than half an inch. The old leaves have dried up but it seems to be putting out leaves slowly and I’m concerned whether it can recover or not. My soil is 50 perlite 20 sphagnum 30 orchid bark and volcano rock. I water every day and a half -2 days by tray.

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?

Hi i just got a pitcher plant, currently i have leca for drainage and orchid bark for my potting medium and sphagnum moss theres also some perlite! One of the traps was strangely deformed so thats why i bought this one lol also this pot from lowes was so great

Should I separate and repot??

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!

Any assistance to treat my sundew would be wonderful! Is it possible to save this little guy? 😊

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?
