Hi all! I went away for six days and left my plant with my dad to look after. I live in Southern California and it was up in the 90s while I was away and my Miranda does live outdoors under the porch. My dad said he watered my plant every other day with distilled water, and misted him with distilled water three times a day.

He didn’t look like this when I left! Is he overwatered or maybe under-watered? Is he maybe sunburned? Or not getting enough sun?
Does anyone have any ideas as to what’s wrong and what I can do to help my Miranda bounce back?

Hey everyone! My purple pitcher sarrecenia is finally bouncing back and I finally have new growth!!!! I was just wondering when is the appropriate time to trim the larger, older pitchers? Also, is it bad that the older pitchers keep drying out and I keep having to manually fill them with distilled water?

Does anyone know what type/types of hitchhikers these little red and green sprouts are? Do you think my VFT will care about them sharing the space?

I received my Sarracenia purpurea pitcher plant via mail about nine days ago. When she arrived, she was green with purple veins, but now she’s been yellow for days. I’m not sure if she’s still in shock or if maybe they turn yellow before they turn purple. Or maybe she’s sick?

Right now she’s still in the pot she came in. She arrived bone dry, but has since been in a tray of distilled water. She is in full sun constantly. I manually refilled her pitchers with distilled water and I tried to give her some betta fish food because she’s not catching any food. I can see some of her roots just now coming through the bottom of her starter pot, but I’m scared she’s too fragile to repot.

I have been raising carnivorous plants for three months now and I have quite a few other species that are all doing very well. This is my only purpurea pitcher though. But I’m open to any advice anyone can give me!
