Good afternoon #greggang! I am very happy to have today off to keep up on my babies! I've felt incredibly guilty the past couple weeks for not being able to devote any real time to my plants due to work, but they've been resilient! I'm still battling #spidermites with Michele, my #catpalm 😬. It's going on 2 months now with no end in sight, but thanks to this community, I'm treating differently, and the new frond she's showing me is showing less damage! I'm also excited that Scarlett, my #venusflytrap, and Madonna, my #purplepitcher, both got their first live feedings between last night and this morning! I'm new to plants in general, especially #carnivorousplants, but it's so exciting to see them in action after worrying so much about killing them. Tolkein the #sundew is the only carnivore who hasn't trapped anything, any tips? Like I said earlier this week, I got some new plant stands, and my babies under the grow lights are thriving! As for the wall stand for my bathroom, I'd like to introduce everyone to Eva, the #englishivy. This will be her home, as I have both dogs and cats. She was so beautiful and perfect, I thought she was fake! I'm one happy woman. I didn't know it was possible to find such happiness and satisfaction caring for these beautiful babies #plantcareisselfcare #plantsmakepeoplehappy

I just received my Venus Fly Trap from #gregplantshop and WOW!!! Just look at him!! I am so incredibly pleased with this purchase!! He is so healthy and was still damp when I opened him up, so shipping was plenty fast enough. I popped him in some rain water and a dish and set him in the shade near my other carnivores to acclimate. Can't wait to see how big this guy gets! He's got roots coming out of the bottom of the pot so I think after a few days, I'll repot him. Any name suggestions for him? 💚 #helpmenamemyplant #venusflytrap #happyplants #carnivorousplants #carnivorousclub #cpclubthursday #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #newplants #planttherapy #outdoorgrowing #jesssjungle

I'm so excited! New Plants and a flower!! Happy Monday, #Gregcommunity! I'm starting to gain some confidence, thanks to this forum, and I've got a lot coming today to help me up my game. I have some trellises and a couple of plant stands being delivered with grow lights, since my bakers rack by the window is completely full, and I'm excited to put them together and spread my babies to a few rooms instead of just packed in the dining room. I'm completely out of my comfort zone with my newbies, but I'm ready for the challenge! I've got 3 new carnivorous plants, Madonna the #pitcherplant, Scarlett the #venusflytrap, and Tolkein, the #sundew. Any tips in their care would be greatly appreciated. I know distilled or rainwater is a must, so I've gotten a collection barrel for my backyard. And my zebrina, Mel, presented me with a flower on this beautiful day!! She's been leggy lately, so I've been a little worried I moved her too far from the window, but only happy plants flower, right? I never even knew she COULD flower! What a great day all around!! I'm becoming more invested with this hobby (lifestyle) every single day! #plantcareisselfcare #plantsmakepeoplehappy #newadventures

Amazing finds today at the garden centre! I was spoilt for choice but I settled on a Drosera paradoxa and a variety of Venus fly trap I had never seen before; Dionaea muscipula 'Zipp'! #PlantAddict #Drosera #VenusFlyTrap

My plant caught a bug!!! Delightful news! My vft caught her first bug, I’m very pleased and happy with this as I was getting nervous starting to think about feeding her manually, but I don’t have to! She did it herself!! Great job! Now comes the waiting game of if the trap will open again or not. I was under the assumption that the traps were a one time use, but they’re not? It could turn brown or it could open up again, idk but googling said it be about a week to digest. This is her first time so I really don’t know how long it’ll take to eat the bug. But I’m so happy with her!! #VenusFlyTrap #HappyPlants

How to save this guy?

After months of meticulous placement everyday I finally have a trap that’s not burnt. But I do have a few that are curled upside down. Do I just need to get a new pot or is there something else I need to do.

Seedlings!! This past weekend I took some time and potted up all of the Venus Fly Trap seeds I've been getting. Im starting to think maybe I shouldn't of pollinated that many flowers because they're still going!! I ended up filling around 5 3" pots. Im going to have to repot them in a few months if a good amount of the seeds germinate since I definitely put too much seed in each pot 🤦‍♀️. Some of the VFT seeds that I had potted up about a month ago have sprouted too! Its so cool knowing that they're grown from the seeds of my own plants. They dont have their first traps yet, but I'm excited for when they do. Hopefully in the coming weeks more seeds sprout! The Sarracenia seedlings that I've been growing since they sprouted roughly two months ago are also just the cutest things. I adore their tiny pitchers so much. This past month ive noticed them taking off as well! Its surprising since the majority of these are S. leucophylla "albino", and leucophylla don't really take off until late summer/early fall. Makes me wonder if new seedlings are different! Its very difficult to get good photos of them, so please excuse the quality of the pictures. Also, a photo of my biggest venus fly trap seedling that I planted sometime may of last year. After dormancy, it came back literally double the size it was last year! #seedlings #sarracenia #venusflytraps #venusflytrap #dionaeamuscipula #carnivorousplants #carnivorousclub #cpclubthursday just realized, I'm posting this on a Thursday! #merranda #newgrowth #plantsmakepeoplehappy #happyplants #plantaddict #pitcherplant.

U started think about this and was wondering how much of my VFT leaf I should cut off.

New setup with growth lights for the first time. I got them focusing on the Venus fly trap I just got, cause they’re picky. But if yall could make sure I’m not doing damage to the other plants I’d appreciate it. I don’t think the lights are too close to any of the plants, and I won’t keep them on for too long, but they love pressing right against the window so… #CarnivorousPlants #CarnivorousClub #VenusFlyTrap #GrowLights #SucculentSquad

Is soil for carnivorous plants ok to use for VFTs? I have mine planted in a glazed clay pot in carnivorous soil.

Hey everyone, I ordered and received a beautiful Venus fly trap from Greg. The problem is, I think I’m killing it and I have no idea what I’m doing wrong. It just looks…floppy. It looked much happier when I got it and I haven’t had it long. Any idea what I’m doing wrong? Can I feed it something if it’s not catching flies?…though that shouldn’t be an issue honestly 🤷🏻‍♀️ #VenusFlyTrap

How important is dormancy, exactly?
