Started this savage bog around June/July and it is making great progress! Hopefully it comes back even better after its dormancy period. #HappyPlants #NewGrowth #BeforeAndAfter #OutdoorGrowing #CarnivorousPlants #VenusFlyTrap #SundaySunshine

First timer with the sundew does it need to be soaking in water all the time like Venus fly traps? #SpoonLeavedSundew

Cape Sundew green with brown tips #capesundew hey I'm new to plants and willing to learn what I need. I got 2 cape Sundews last week. they both came green with some turning brown on the tips but got worse over time. 1 even came squished but hoped it would bounce back.it didn't help I put them in an open terrarium since I think it made it worse. I now have them in pots again. I googled open terrarium could be fine with airflow, but mine even started to grow fungus on the squished one. I repot them in individual pots with sphagnum moss and perlite. can they bounce back? is there more I can do? I'm trying to water them correctly too with 2 hours in a water tray. then taking the plants away till 3 days later or till it gets dry.

I just got the plant a little over a week ago and it already seems like some leaves are dying. I have a grow light and only water with distilled water. Idk what to do. #CapeSundew

Iām historically a terrible gardener. I hear drosera can attract mosquitoes; I have an issue with there always being a few mosquitoes in my bedroom at night in summer, would having my drivers in the room at night help in any way to divert them from me? #SpoonLeavedSundew

No longer thriving #SpoonLeavedSundew I came back from vacation and my plant had a lot of die back. Iāve only had it since March so I wasnāt sure if this was normal or if this may have been accidental poor care from my housesittter. Is there any suggestions to support it returning to life if itās a result of poor care?

savage fairy garden Hi all, I am pretty new to gardening, in general, and *very* new to carnivorous plants. Iāve managed to keep a Venus fly trap alive for a few months (after the plant store put her in regular olā fertilized soil, so sheās been a bit traumatized). Iād like to create a sort of savage fairy garden with my carnivorous bog bowl, but Iām nervous to add anything because of how sensitive they are to everything. Iām open to any ideas to jazz this bog bowl up. Iām hoping the VFT gets redder since itās getting good sun now and would love to add a bladderwort to this bowl, but otherwise, I have no ideas for bringing in color. Maybe some moss? #savagegarden #CarnivorousPlants #CarnivorousClub #carnivorousplantnerds
