How to fertilize Tropical Pitcher Plant
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 Tropical Pitcher Plant after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

#cpclubthursday 🫣 And for those wanting a bit of spice 🫚 in their lives, I offer you a video on the "Sex Lives of Nepenthes" 😘 💕 https:// It's not quite Caligula or Boogie Nights but it is fascinating for anyone interested in how Nepenthes propagate !

ITS SO FULL!! It’s getting fuller every day now to the point it’s spilling out. Is this overwatering? What am I doing wrong 😭 should I just cut it off? #Nepenthes #NepenthesAlata #cpclubthursday #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PlantTherapy #CarnivorousPlants #CarnivorousClub

The pitchers are so full!!! Help! They’re both full very much past the red part now. There is a sticky dew-like substance on the outside of the pitcher forming droplets. Is the plant okay?? Why is there so much water in the pitchers?! The water is a little jelly like too, and the second picture the water is murky. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PlantTherapy #Nepenthes #NepenthesAlata #cpclubthursday #CarnivorousPlants #CarnivorousClub #

Nepenthes can’t handle growing pitchers? I’ve had it for a while now, it was originally an offshoot from my first nepenthes. The pitcher it grew has been the same size for months and the lid seems deformed. The pitcher has opened for some reason and the lid is super small. The nepenthes is in distilled water instead of sphagnum moss, receiving good amounts of natural sunlight. How can I get it to grow pitchers? #Nepenthes #TropicalPitcherPlant #cpclubthursday #HappyPlants #SlowedGrowth #CarnivorousPlants #help #PlantAddict

Welcome to #cpclubthursday Thursday July the 11th 2024 🌟OVER 140 MEMBERS !🌟 FEATURE: CP PODCAST AND CHARITY EVENT So, I have been busy preparing and recording some episodes focused on CPs for the launch of the Podcast with Jess @JesssJungle ) and Rose Red @LaSiguanaba ) as well as preparing some blogs to help those with CPs. Today I inspected the likely venues for a CP and collectible plants expo and fair I am organiszing for Spring in Perth (September -November 2024 or your autumn in the Northern Hemisphere) to gain donations and promote a new charity I am registering to help provide plants to those with challenges in life (whether it is mental or physical health issues, major life events like the death of someone close or major surgery) or addictions. I’ll add some photos of the venue I am hoping to book. To help pay for the venue booking and charity, I have created a GoFundMe account and a few other means to provide for donations. But it all takes work and time while I am also enjoying my new Nepenthes form last week. Who would have thought all of this arises from Jess @JesssJungle attending the St Louis CP Fair not that long ago and sharing her experience here! So I hope the event is supported and well-attended as I have already lined up some CP suppliers as vendors to attend. But I would love to hear about your own CP journeys and share some photos and events in your CP world! 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! There is already a wealth of CP so why not just join our growing CP community at #cpclubthursday!

🐊 Crikey! Say Hello to My Little Friend - PART 2 -TDS Meter Isn't She a Beauty, Mate 🐊! Hi Plant Friends and CP Fans, This is a continuation from Part 1 (What is a TDS meter) see; https://) So I will share my tipsy Tuesday tip #tipsytuesday) 🍺 🍻 using a TDS meter with a new Carnivorous Plant (CP) as an example: 1. Having bought a CP, the first thing I do is a "radiation ☢️ rinse shower 🚿"). I place the pot in a small water container and pour distilled water onto the soil. 2. I then test the water with a TDS for mineral content (eg 350 ppm - parts per million of total dissolved solids {TDS} and eg pH (as CPs prefer a more acidic soil mix). 3. I keep flushing distilled water (0ppm) until the TDD reads 50 ppm or less (a CP soil mix prefers no minerals or as low as possible) 4. I also use this technique for any soil mix I use that I usually find has a high mineral content so I get eg peet moss or sphagnum moss also below 50ppm) before potting. 5. If I know the soil mix is not acidic enough I will give my CP a drink of cold coffee to make it more acidic. And that's it! Go to Part 1 to add your TDS meter tips . Best tip is awarded best answer. Here it is just noted below. I also record the TDS meter measurements (eg via Bluetooth) to phone app) HOT TIP: Zero Water jugs are great for 0ppm water for CPs and come with a TDS meter! Two for the price of one! An Amazon link for an example is below: ZeroWater 12-Cup Ready-Pour 5-Stage Water Filter Pitcher 0 TDS for Improved Tap Water Taste - IAPMO Certified to Reduce Lead, Chromium, and PFOA/PFOS, 25 Liter, Blue https:// @snowtrooper #tipsytuesday #cpclubthursday #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #plantmafia #greggang #greggerssupportinggreggers #happyplants #newgrowth

A NEW FLOWER FORMING! Because CP Club Thursday 🪰 #cpclubthursday & 🍃🌱 Fresh Leaf Friday are coming up, I thought why not combine the two in one post?➗️❓️ So here are my Fresh Leaf Friday and CP Club Thursday contestants🥇🥈🥉🤼♂️🏋♂️⛹️♀️🏄♂️🤺 I am excited to have good news 😀 (and maybe a little bad news🫣) The good news is one of my Nepenthes is actually flowering!!!! 👌 🌱⚘️🌿💐 This is amazing as I have only had the plant for 6 months and they are very demanding before flowering (eg very high humidity sometimes 80-90%) 🔥 🥵 And the bad news is I only currently have ONE Nepenthes flowering.⚘️ Nepenthes are dioecious, so they come in male or female plants, making self-pollination impossible!🚫⚠️❌️ And I don't yet know if it is a little girl flower 👧or boy flower 👦 so.... I need to start a dating service! 👩❤️💋👨👩❤️👨💋🥰🫶👩❤️👨 Most Nepenthes are male (typical!) about 4 to 1! So I need to find a lovely mate in time 🤔 👀👀⌛️😍🥰💘🫂👫🌱🌱🪷🌸before it's too late⌛️😣😩😥 And a photo of a little pitcher plant growing that looks like an ostrich or bird head to me 🦩🪿🦤 and another that is twisting towards the light like a circus contortionist 🎪 For more, join #cpclubthursday #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #freshleaffriday #freshfeaturedfriday #cpclubthursday #greggang #happyplants #carnivorousplants #carnivorousclub #venusflytrap #pitcherplant #purplepitcherplant #sundew #butterwort #newgrowth #propagationstation #propagation #sarracenia

Fresh Nepenthes Pitcher Plant Leaves! So here are some photos to show how Nepenthes grow their leaves, the new leaf hides in the previous one and as the old leaf grows, the new leaf emerges and pushes out from the old leaf, ultimately ending up on the opposite side to the last leaf (how clever!) Hopefully, the photos show this. I was adding live sphagnum moss in the hopes of adding humidity for my Nepenthes and thought I would take some photos as well. Have a good Good Friday everyone, I appreciate all the interest shown to these amazing plants 🥰🤩🙏👍😃🤗 #newgrowth #freshleaffriday #freshfeaturedfriday #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #plantmafia #happyplants #carnivorousplants #greggers #greggang

Calling Nepenthes experts. I'm intrigued by this double node above my Nepenthes leaf as normally there's just one. Does this mean it is branching out? A new leaf? #happyplants #pitcherplant #nepenthes #carnivorousplants #carnivorousclub #plantsmakepeoplehappy #greggang
