Meet Vlad and Lucy, the latest carnivorous plants to enter my lair. Both of these predators were supermarket rescues and I’m hoping that with a lot of TLC (and a little bit of blood 🧛🏻♀️), this dynamic duo will soon begin to thrive! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantCorner #PlantLove #CarnivorousPlants #cpclubthursday #VenusFlyTrap #PitcherPlant #RepotSeason

@Macstracks Thanks, I just did a ton of repotting and I put together my terrarium! Not sure how well it went, but it’s my first try, 😂. The terrarium I bought was too small, so these guys get their own pots. The ‘big reveal’ will be Thursday, for #cpclubthursday . 😁
@LaSiguanaba The supermarkets near me pretty much only have orchids & common houseplants - I don't think I've ever seen a vft let alone a Sarracenia at one! Truly a lucky find 😁
@Macstracks Well, it is my first time making something like this, so… I hope I did it right and that the plants survive! 🤪 I really want to post a pic now, but I need something for Thursday, 😂.
@LaSiguanaba I wish I had a trader Joe's by me! That's awesome
Just got a Publix & a Winn-Dixie pretty much, and walmart if you count it. The Walmarts garden section by me is terrible though 😔

@LaSiguanaba 😂😂😂 I’m sure you did amazing. I got something in mind for Thursday. I’m gonna start working on it this evening lol. Not as cool as what you got going on but wanted to try something for the new plants that are coming in soon lol
@Macstracks Okay, now I’m really intrigued!!! 🧐 I can’t wait to see what you come up with for Thursday! ☺️
@LaSiguanaba Honestly, not really. I'm not in a very large/built up area. My favorite in-person nursery is called Bloom Garden Shop & it's in Tampa.. Unfortunately Tampa is a really long drive away 😅
All of my local nurseries are over 30 minutes away, unfortunately (which even then is only 2 places).

@LaSiguanaba Vlad, interesting name but it doesn't pale into insignificant when it is compared to Lucy, nor does it hide in her shadow mahahahahaha 🧛♂️💋 Holy Istanbul, it's the Dynamic Duo 🦇🦇 Well, they both look good in their coffins ⚰️ ⚰️, I mean pots. Love the blood mahahahah 🧛♂️💋red coloring so I am entirely sucked in by these two lovely CPs. Fangs for posting, Rose Red 🌹
@Macstracks I get the feeling that this Thursday we’ll have some interesting posts! I can’t wait!!! 😃
@proffesorsprout They truly are amazing! Once you get one it kinda starts an addiction (speaking from experience here haha). Carnivorous plants are an entire world to explore, and I wholeheartedly recommend getting one!
They're pretty simple once you've read up on their care :) (depends on the type of cp obviously)
If you go to #cpclubthursday you can see lots of amazing posts about them!

@Ms.Persnickety I appreciate it! I've actually been looking to get another Nepenthes so I might look into that seller 🤔
@pcakes5000 That is a beautiful Sarracenia as well! The cover that you have over it makes it almost look mysterious

@proffesorsprout Gracie elizabeth (both lovely names, by the way) there are many people here who felt the same and I have provided some information at the following link to help people like you. And we are all happy to help, support and answer any questions. Owning a CP may be easier and closer than you might think. If you join the club you will get a better idea this Thursday #cpclubthursday
Any questions, just let us know.

@pcakes5000 Patty, I think you just inspired me, thank you. I have some Sarracenia that I rescued and they need a new home 🏡
Anyway join us this Thursday

@LaSiguanaba so do you feed your pitcher plant? I just bought an eye dropper and syringe so I can feed my pitchers and even sundews. You can feed your spoon leaf and sundew fish flakes (eg insect larvae) I was telling Tristan as he was expecting some sundews, his first ever CPs, I think. I make a cricket powder🦗 and mealworm pie for mine as well. You can get live food from the reptile area of a pet store.
@LaSiguanaba I bought another ear dropper and syringe at the pharmacy so I can prepare for more feeding.
