This setup has gone thru many phases, had to cut the ferns and restart tho not fully, also the moss which was vibrant really didn’t like northern Mexico summer and it all died haha. I will have to bring it back and have a plan for the summer so that doesn’t happen again. But it still has a bit of charm.

Always a favorite from Leilani

Happy Growing

Picked it up at the SoCal carnivorous plant show a few months ago and it’s gotten big and finally flowered! Really love the frilly edges on it.

Honestly I thought they would be going into dormancy by now because they're outside in their native climate but since dropping their light exposure by a couple hours they've ditches the fluffy tops and started growing again, curious to see what happens when summer hits 😭

Couple of months ago I posted about dealing with thrips and had some people say only systemics would work, which I would prefer not to use as I keep inverts as pets.

Well I’m happy to report that the thrips appear to have been eradicated with just spinosad and my pitchers are back to booming.

Well technically bladderworts are faster in its trapping mechanism but the physical armature on this plant is faster so… very excited to watch these grow and thrive =) Some fun facts. The “trigger” smacks pollinators with pollen… but can also smack them to receive pollen. They’re “protocarnivorous” as they aren’t always carnivorous during their seasonal cycle. Looking forward to seeing these fascinating flowers =) 🌺

I got these on markdown. They were $2.60 per pot. Every pot had two cuttings in it. I bought eight of them. This is after repotting.

It's a led 1500 lumen 13,5 watt 6500 kelvin light for my drosera capensis. The plant is in a pot of about 5 centimeters height and the lamp is about 40 centimeters above the plant. Is it too far? It pretty much lights up all the left side of my desk but i just want to be sure.

Visible pitchers! Oh yeah it's going great despite the rocky start

Hello everyone, I have a shipment coming in on Monday from Cal Carn, originally I was planning on keeping them indoors and skipping dormancy, but I saw on one of their YouTube videos they will most likely be shipped cut down and ready for dormancy since it’s already in the 40’s in that area of Cali.

So my question is, is there anything I need to do to further prep them for dormancy, or do I just place them outdoors and let them do their own thing?

For reference, I’m in Texas, where the temp at night has just started dropping to the 60s and it’s still low 80s during the day.

Made a huge mess of it after repotting.. just spend almost 45 minutes meticulously cleaning the dirt of the plants with a q-tip 😅 Never reported a plant in my life. Quite happy with the results 😍

Seed Produced by Insecticidal151
Germinated 1/25/26

The background: i got them at a state fair, exactly in the setup now. About 3-4 weeks ago and the tips been turning brown while some are completely brown.

Current setup: i been using RO water at 8 ppm, less than 2 cups in the time I had them. I've been switching to distilled water. I got a feit 14w grow led desk light sitting about 12 inches, but currently sitting under an areogarden light, about 10 inches. At both lights i ran around 12 hours daily.

Im believing its the lights thats the issue, so im look for more for an affordable light source. (If you have any tips)

Additional information: They are in a glass vase, 6.5 inches diameter and they are sitting 4 inches from the base as the glass continues to 6 inches. Non drainage vase

Any suggestions on what to do with my dying nepenthes st. Gaya? The temp where I live is about 85° and it's pretty humid. Could it be the heat or too much water? Thanks!

I’ve ordered over 30 nepenthes and some plants from them. Every single one has been packed with care, their customer service is legit the fastest I’ve ever had and ALWAYS gets back to you to trouble shoot or fix errors whenever i’ve reached out. Once I received the wrong plant and it was delivered within the week. I’ve asked for problems with seeds and they ENCOURAGE you to reach out for questions about plants or unknown abnormalities. They don’t just don’t sell plants they WANT you to succeed.

Heres 3 of the newest pitchers from them!

I have been away for 10 days and have had my dad taking care of my plants. My pitcher plant looked nice and healthy and was watered with distilled water on the day I left and I had him give her some water 4 days after. Today he showed me my plants and she looks terrible. I am going back home tomorrow but had him give her some more distilled water today (4 days after the last light watering). Will she be able to survive?

Hihi! please give some guidance on care for my first Nepenthes. just picked this up at a local nursery and I have never had a nepenthes and feeling a little worried as I’m not experienced! I will take all advice and wisdom
I watered with distilled water twice since getting her, normally in a spot in my book shelf where there is bright indirect light

Hello! I got these two (pygmy? maybe?) sundews for free and I have no idea what they are. I’m hoping someone can provide an ID, thank you!
