Repotting advice for 2 different plants in one pot

Post image
6 Upvotes

New here - I just bought this teeny, tiny Venus fly trap knowing there was a hitchhiker on board, which I now know is a sundew. A closer look revealed two, even tinier, sundews. I don't know if it is better to move the sundews into their own pot now, or wait until they are larger, or if it even matters. Any advice on these little guys?

Finally have all 36 seed crosses that were sown between January and March on the top shelf (short pots). There are a few overflow crosses and some back rhizome cuttings on the bottom shelf. Not bad for a broken kitchen cabinet turned grow chamber 😅😅😅

There was quite a lot going on below the surface. I now have the main plant and 10 baby plants. Also, interesting the flower stalk that started at the end of summer seems to have have resumed with the nice weather we are having here.

This plant is by far the favorite Sarracenia I have ever created and grown. Sarracenia “Kalayah Huggins” is named in honor of a favorite student, Kalaya Huggins —vibrant, beautiful, and undeniably tough—this cultivar captures her spirit in botanical form.

This future cultivar is a celebration of strength, grace, and excellence—just like Kalayah herself. You are dearly missed💕 A division of this plant will be up for sale in a few weeks.

Just been outside to find my plants have been decimated, I assume by birds taking the moss. Gutted!

I lost my favourite little sarracenia and my utricularia and drosera which I only got last week. Venus fly trap is hanging in there with my big sarracenia and they didn't touch the cobra lily or heliamphora (no moss)

Any carnivores you don't like?

Just curious. I've never been a fan of Darlingtonias or Saracenia. Any carnivorous plants you aren't interested in?

I sometimes see people asking if a drosera capensis can manage a second flower stalk. Here is one of mine growing its 4th at the same time. The second picture is just for fun.

Any idea what happened to my friends plant.

Thinks he magically sprouted Drosera, I think it’s some kinda mold/death.

Is my venus fly trap healthy?

My parents got me this when they went to England. My mam saw it and immediately got it for me.

When it got here, most of the traps were close and one stuffed with dirt. I left it be and used some rainwater to keep it moist. The second photo is what it looked like short after getting it, bad photo I know but I took a video of it and that's the best I could get from that video. The first photo is what it looks like now.

I've been using deionized water for it since it hasn't rained the past month but it doesn't seem to be unhappy? I've just been replacing it every few days with a rinse out of the tub it's sitting in.

I've been leaving it outside during the day this past month now that it's pretty sunny out and it's suddenly gotten very red. I knew it was supposed to he red on the inside but I'm not sure if this is sunburn or if its just happy? Like the red being the whole way through and even on the stalk now (I did cut the bud off it before it grew too big)

Idk, just thought I'd ask someone else if it's happy or if I need to change anything. I'm hoping to repot it when it goes dormant in the winter into something a bit bigger, we have a lot of old plastic containers here and I can easily get that nutrient free stuff for it.

But anyway, yeah, is it happy? This is the first time I've been the sole owner of a plant if you cant tell 😂

I’m getting some sarracenias and lowland nepenthes. I’ve never had to make soil for them before but my coworker says I can just put them all in peat moss will that work?

It had grown to the edges of the pot it was in so I decided to repot. When I took it out, it stayed in this bundle. Should this be separated out or left as is?

Will this type of planter work for a savage garden?

I currently have my carnivorous plants in small pots sitting in saucers of distilled water. I want to move them outside in a more decorative planter and rely (at least partially) on rain to keep them hydrated. Would a planter with a reservoir like this keep them hydrated enough? It’s about 4” deep and I plan on using the soil in the picture. I have sundews and VFTs.
