Hey y'all! I've been busy the past few days, so first off happy (late) holidays to everybody 😀
Aside from family stuff, I've been primarily busy with plant stuff. This past Thursday I spent a while dividing 2 of my venus fly traps! Goodness, they had really multiplied in those pots!! I decided to split them up into several tiny venus fly traps instead of leaving bigger clumps so I didn't have to repot them again for a bit. They do look a bit sad at the moment, and that's mainly because they're all pretty dormant at the moment. Majority of them do have larger traps, they just shed them for the winter :) I now have a crazy amount of venus fly traps, but it'll be fun watching them all grow over summer! 😆
I've also managed to keep my Heliamphora Minor alive so far. I made a little mistake with the watering (didn't realize it in fact is not watered like a Nepenthes) but it has recovered since then luckily. Another little update is on my Sarracenia seedling!! It's definitely one of my favorite plants at the moment just because of how absolutely adorable the little baby pitcher is! It's so tiny too!! It's grown a lot since it first sprouted roughly 2 weeks ago.
And, my Nepenthes Alata is also growing super well! I don't post my nepenthes often, but they are up there with my fav plants. The pitcher pictured is from my Nepenthes Alata. :)

@Merranda, you sure ended up with a lot of VFTs out of just two pots! The baby sarracenia is super cute. Is that kept in constant moisture? 🤔
Nepenthes are so cool and might be in the future plans for my Oasis. But, I can never find any that look good around my area.

@UltraKoreanfir For the most part :) I do 'break the rules' a bit when it comes to watering since it'd be an insane amount of water to consistently keep the trays filled. Especially because the water evaporates pretty quickly. If it's a rainy week, I normally rely on the rain to fill the saucers. If it's not rainy, i just check the plants and if I feel they need it I fill the saucers with water. I never let the plants dry out, though.
A good place, if you don't mind ordering online, is florae collaborative. They update their online storefront i believe every other Sunday. They have tonssss of nepenthes! It's like their specialty. I find that they're at pretty reasonable prices too. Carnivero also has loads of nepenthes :)

Hello, Merranda,
Another day, I decided to give another try to Venus trap, was never successful with waking up the plant after dormancy. So bought a plant in Lowe's. The moment I took it from its clear for sale container I knew I bought more than 1 plant. Once, I pulled the roots from its 2 inch pot, I had 3 pups who were already separated from the parent plant (potted in individual pots) and 5 conjoined that are yet to split, for now in one pot, probably will have to split it after dormancy.
So my collection on corniverous plants gets bigger and bigger (1 sundew plant that turned into 11 rosettes, drocera that in 2023 was a single plant now it's about 10 or more - needs splitting, and 4 for now Venuses).
Plant' hoarding comes so naturally, 😀!
