DIY humidity hut for my pitcher plant 😊

#PlantAddict #PropagationStation #DIYPlanter #CarnivorousPlants #sundews #Nepenthes #ShareYourProcess #evilgenius well I been at it again!! Nothing too crazy really but a couple carnivores permanently potted today 😊 Q graduated (a few days late) from the womb bag to a humidity hut!! Yup, coffee jar with a hole in the lid πŸ‘Œ should maintain between 85 and 90% humidity unless I let the media dry out and the hole means I can put water in without removing the lid. Then we have some slightly scorched sundews πŸ˜… poor guys are not doing great in the summer here, if it isn’t too much direct sun it’s too hot for them 😩 they’re being moved into the plant room too 😍 but for now I chose 3 different vibrant red rosette type sundews so that as they grow in and spread it will eventually look kinda like exposed brains πŸ€ͺ I mean, they need to actually be healthy for that too so here’s hoping!! πŸ‘Œ
2ft to light, indirect
2” pot with drainage
Last watered 3 years ago
You’re a great plant mom. I hope your oasis live long and prosper and I hope they enjoy your sense of humor as much as I did. πŸ˜ƒ
That's a cool skull planter!
@Ada3 thank you!! I love my planty babies πŸ₯°πŸ˜ πŸ–– ohhhhh just for an added facet, Q is my very first baby Nepenthes from my own plants….. 😎 pretty much why he ended up with Q! He’s the first of the next gen πŸ˜…
@RJG thanks!! They’re pretty common in variety stores here 😊 I’m planning to collect all the colours 😍 Peter the Rabbit Foot fern got a new one today too!! Plus a little angry witch I found πŸ€£πŸ‘Œ Peter went up a pot size so he needed a bigger skull and the rattle snake is in his old one 😊
Your skull pots are cuter than mine.
@Ada3 haha they’re cute as!! I love them 😍 mine have a lil plastic plug too so they can either be draining or not, I tend to use them planter style but the sundews don’t have one so the water sits out on the plate and the plastic decorations substitute for salty rocks they can’t have 😝 Ta da!! Carnivore friendly humidity tray πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘Œ I think your guys need eyeballs πŸ€” googly eyes???? Oh pretty please tell me you have a random stash of googly eyes you can stick on them 😜
@PoisonIvys I been looking for some πŸ‘€ and πŸ‘„. πŸ™‚They’re probably in a craft store like Michaels. My skull pots have no drainage, so I have a pot-within a pot, to keep them from killing my succulent plants when watered. ☠️
@Ada3 yeah I use them that way too regardless of drainage tbh because it’s a pain to pot and repot mine πŸ˜… it’s easier to use them as a pot within a pot for when everyone upgrades 😊
