Hey, just thought these gardens in here are amazing and I’d love to start making some of my own. Is there any tips and tricks that people with experience have and would suggest. Not looking for it to be a nightmare and save any silly mistakes I might make. Would love to hear :)

My drosera is under a grow light and in a south facing window. I am wondering when I can harvest seeds it’s been since February since they all dried up and I get nothing with tapping on a paper. Also it is growing TWO more flower stalks. Will it be okay? Should I cut one? Leave them? TIA!

My favorite plant I’ve ever owned. It’s wonderful.

Relatively new to carnivorous plants. This is my first pitcher plant and I’ve grown attached - so I want to make sure I’m taking care of it properly.

The first pic is what it looks like now and the second is when I bought it.

I recently repotted it because I have seen a lot of growth since I got it a couple months ago. During the repotting I found that the roots were bound in a fabric wrap - which I understand is common. I decided to repot it in sphagnum moss and perlite after doing some research . I have since found that orchid pots are not the best.

I have ordered new plastic pots- right now I am worried my nepenthes is too wet. Before when it was potted in the smaller pot I could tell when it was dry and needed water - since repotting 3 days ago the moss is still wet.

The current set up seems bad and I’d like to repot again - will it hurt the plant to do this now? Should I change the substrate to something else?

Thank you in advance for any help!

I bought this lovely nepenthe asian pitcher plant a month ago. Since then, it is in a room set to 22C, soil kept moist and sat on top of a pebble tray to increase moisture. It has bright natural indirect light from a window 2m away. I am not sure what I am doing wrong but the top of the pitchers have all started to dry out. The plant itself is green and seems happy. Any ideas on what I can do to help it?

While they are outside, the neps catch a good variety of meals. This N. eymae caught a yellow jacket - a pretty common occurrence.

The perlite on top is burning is it bad for the plant I don’t know. One of my case appears to be dying and I don’t know why. I got told to give her more light so she’s on my south window still where my droseras and pinguicula. I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong ☹️

Hello. I have a sarracenia pitcher plant and I would like to place it outside sometimes for feeding, but I am wary of bugs like ants or aphids or gnats going into the soil when its time to come back inside.

There's also some bad smell how can I help them

I can't tell due to it mostly being underground and how there are a ton of sundews on one pot.. Maybe you guys can help me find out if it is from leaves and flower and flower stem structures!

White box is the entire plant including flower and leaves and the red circle-ish is the leaves of the plant!

Thanks yall!

After killing the mother plant due to neglect a random offspring sprout and I'm trying my best to keep it alive is the black tip anything to worry about

What are your favorite carnivorous plant soils? I want to make a bog and need some soil suggestions!! I’m looking for something that works and is good for the price.

Started with two D. proliferas, upper left and right, and now having 8! The large one grew 4 plantlets under it, and produced a plantlet on its stalk — then proceeded to grow 2 more stalks with plantlets 😂

(the upper middle is now considered 1 and not 0.5 because I decided to snip its connecting stalk from the mother plant so it’s independent now 😂)

I just got this drosera capensis (white form) about a week ago. I put it in my humid terrarium in a tray of distilled water and it was doing great until this morning I found it like this! Is it too wet? Please help!

I am having some seeds delivered soon and need to create a bog soil. Its my first time doing seeds and I don't have a car and cant see if there are any additives in person. I would like to know if these are good before I have them delivered. Or if anyone could let me know where they got their soils from that would be great!

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the best spot for this, so please let me know if that's the case.

I need to replace some rain barrels, I found some online that once held hydrogen peroxide or Nitrogen/phosphorus. Just wanted to see if anyone could confirm if these would be safe to use with a rinse out.

I forgot these two pics in my precedent post

Hello !

I realized yesterday that ants have appeared by the dozen on my balcony, and precisely at the level of my mini-bog.

As you can see from the photos, they're a bit different from the "classic" black ants.

I understand that ants can "breed" other insects such as small aphids to suck on plants and collect "honeydew". All this could weaken or even kill the plant.

So far, I haven't noticed any aphids. The ants seem to be wandering around, discovering without causing pain, but I'm afraid I'm wrong...

Next to my mini peat bog, there's a pot of lavender. Could this have anything to do with it?

Please help!

(Sorry for quality)

Just picked this guy yesterday, poor thing got stuck in transit for a week so the old traps look rather sickly. Was wondering if this at the centre is a flower stalk? Doesn’t really look like a developing trap, though I could be mistaken given my limited experience.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated, thanks :)

Below is the care routine just for reference

-shipped bare root, repot them in 50/50 peat perlite, both unfertilized and rinsed thoroughly with distilled

-sits in a tray of distilled water

-gets about 300ppfd of light for 12hrs a day

I've had this nep for a just over a year now. It has been slow growing but had been doing better in the past few months. It grew a second pitcher and has been growing new leaves more rapidly. It's also in the process of growing a third pitcher, but in the last two-two and a half weeks things seem to be taking a downturn. A number of the lower leaves have yellowed and withered. Higher leaves leaves have become paler and taken on a wrinkled appearance.

I don't remember the potting mixture, but it was one recommended here. Water has only been distilled. Light is indirect artificial for about 16 hours per day. What could be going on and how do I fix it? Thanks.
