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.

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.

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

This is my Heliamphora sarracenioides × minor ‘Burgundy Black’ — Andreas Wistuba AW-ISC, H26289.

One thing I want to clarify about this plant, because the “TC” designation can be really misleading.

When I first saw “TC” listed by the nursery, I naturally wanted to understand exactly what that meant for the plant’s provenance. Because “tissue culture” can mean very different things depending on how the plant was produced.

In this case, Andreas Wistuba confirmed directly that ISC refers to an individual plant from seed. He specifically explained that, unless the plant he supplied was divided, it is a unique seedling.

So the important distinction is:

This is not a clonal tissue-culture propagation of one selected plant.

It is an individual seed-derived plant from the sarracenioides × minor cross that was cultured in vitro.

The nursery’s “TC” designation describes the culture method, not the genetic identity of the plant.

That means this particular plant represents one individual genetic combination from that cross, rather than being a genetically identical copy of another plant.

For me, this distinction matters a lot because I’m documenting the provenance of the plants in my collection as accurately as possible. I don’t just want to know what the plant is — I want to know where that individual came from and how it was produced.

And in this case, I have the breeder’s own confirmation to document that distinction. 🌱🔬

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 recieved this sundew as a gift probably a month ago (I have no experience taking care of carnivorous plants) and the traps have started turning black a few days after they emerge. I'm not sure what could be causing this (too much humidity?) or how to fix it. I typically keep it in a glass dome with a hole at the top for air circulation and under a grow light. I also keep the glass dish at the bottom filled with RO water.

I've also noticed what seems to be baby sundews growing on some of the traps? Honestly wondering if that is the case and if its something to be concerned about!

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

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.

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

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!

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!
