How to fertilize Aphrodite Butterwort
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Aphrodite Butterwort after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

This is your sign to get a #pinguicula! Less than a week out of quarantine and into gen pop and Mommy Plant has caught an insane number of gnats. I'll link where I got mine below. #carnivorousplants #carnivorousclub #butterwort #pinguiculas #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #pestcontrol 🌱 #NewEnglandGregGang 🌱 #MaineGang 🌱 #ThePlantMompy

Nothing's up she's just slaying 💅🏻 I saw no thread on this plant so I decided to start one (I might be wrong, I'm new to the app 🤣). That being said, I'm having some issues deciding where to place her; everything I read suggests full - partial sun but I'm getting burnt or black leaves in either 🥲. If anyone has some advice it's highly appreciated!

CP CLUB THURSDAY for AUGUST 29 2024 #cpclubthursday #Seymour 🌸 🌺 THE FLOWERS of CPs 🌺 🌸 Welcome to #cpclubthursday Thursday AUGUST the 29th, 2024 🌟NEARLY 175 MEMBERS !🌟 FEATURE: 🌸 🌺 CP flowers 🌺 🌸 Firstly I think I learnt something new today and you can all confirm or correct me! In Australia we consider the start of Spring (which is the opposite to your Fall/Autumn so far as the calendar year) commences in a few days on the first day of September and ends on the last day of November (so based on a 3 month season cycle) . However I understand that in the US or UK, for instance, the new season of Fall/Autumn doesn’t occur until September 20th based on eg fall/autumn equinox. Is this correct? It means we will have 20 days of spring before your fall/autumn season commences (not that it necessarily matters so much these days given the way climate records are getting broken! We just had the hottest day in Winter recently, over 107’F or 41’C https:// Why do I mention this? Because I am looking forward to spring here in Perth, Australia to watch the CPs end their dormancy and starting into growing and flowering (save for those CPs that flower in winter). But I also know “Winter is coming” or at least Fall/Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere so maybe there’s an opportunity to see any CP flowers members of the #cpclubthursday they’d like to share. All CPs are flowering plants (unless someone knows an exception) and, as this part of an article points out, it’s very clever what CPs do and why: “Carnivorous plants use a variety of strategies to lure prey into their traps. Some produce strong-smelling nectar and have intense colouration that mimic flowers. Others camouflage themselves seamlessly into their surroundings so that victims blunder into them. The intense colouration of trapping organs can give the impression that they are flowers when they are, in fact, ingeniously adapted leaves. Carnivorous plants keep prey separate from useful pollinating insects by growing their real flowers at the end of long stalks, which blossom as far as possible from tempting and deadly digestive organs” https:// So why not share your CP flowers below?👇 I have added many posts about the conditions and care of various CPs in previous #cpclubthursday so I recommend people follow the hashtag, may of them also have my own group #seymour so may be easier to find there. Add any interesting Carnivorous Plant (CP) facts, photos, or anything CP-related for this week. Or ask a question of our members related to CPs Join the CP just by clicking the link #cpclubthursday and clicking join. That is all it takes! Too easy! Shall we make it to 180 members ? There is already a wealth of CP so why not just join our growing CP community at #cpclubthursday! Happy Chompys 😊🪰🦟🚫 #cpclubthursday #carnivorousplants #carnivorousclub #venusflytrap #sarracenia #pinguicula #nepenthes #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #happyplants #greggang #seymour #theamigos #Pinguicula #butterwort #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #GrowLights #Sundew #ForkedSundew #SpoonLeavedSundew #Drosera #CapeSundew #PLANTMAFIA I ch I floweringer ever evereverCPs do and

Poor little ping… This is my first time with #Pinguicula, and this guys doesn’t seem to want to grow roots. He’s grown almost twice his size since I got him, and he appears healthy… is this normal? I realize the soil is pretty wet in the image— I’d just watered it (with distilled water). #CarnivorousPlants #Butterwort #CarnivorousClub #MexicanButterwort

Happy #cpclubthursday everyone! Today I wanted to share a picture of my ping garden, which has been doing its job very effectively as you can see. I tend to get fungus gnats, and these little pings help me keep them from getting too out of hand. Plus, they are just really cool plants that come in many varieties. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #Pinguicula #pings #ping #CarnivorousPlants #CarnivorousClub #PlantTherapy #Butterwort #MexicanButterwort #LaSiguanaba
