I need a rescue team lads

I recently got this Sarracenia but this poor soul started wilting almost immediately and I am very confused why, especially since I got it at the same time and place as another Sarracenia that does just fine. New pitchers withered really soon after appearing and do not even appear anymore.

As you can see it’s standing beneath a grow light at a reasonable distance and it still has quite a bit of water left in its tray. The moss is flourishing so I guess the conditions are good.

Since I’m still quite a newbie, I beg you ô Reddit, can this little dude be saved and how ?

Old bark moss

Hi all, I was looking into getting some ways to get moss in my bogs online for the past few days. While wiring outside, I went where I have a really old wood stack and there is moss all over it. I took some off but the bark came with it.

Do you guys think it would be suitable for my bogs and if so, then how would I go about it.

Is there any hope ?

I think my cape sundew is dying and I'm not sure what going on. It was like that in the first pic for a few weeks, there were sprouts so I thought it's fine. However, 3 days ago all the leaves started to look like in the 2nd pic, even the newly sprout one, and today almost everything gone.
I did not make any major chang to the plant. The pot is in another container that always have distilled water. It's kept outdoor for sunlight but the weather has been nice lately (25-32Celcius).
I did notice today that there are some tiny bugs on the soils that fly when I came closer to see my plants. I'm not sure how long they been there.

Appreciate any advice I can get.

Flowering! When to repot?

I have no idea what the flower’s going to look like and I’m avoiding looking it up to keep it a surprise 😄

I was going to repot it but will wait until after it’s done flowering. When would you repot if this was yours?

Are containers like these good for starting seeds?

Trying to start a few different drosera seeds and I had a bunch coming up where you could just see the hairy things starting to pop and now I can't see them. Do they need more air flow? I was planning on taking them out once you could see them clearly. They are on a plant heat mat too since my basement is kind of cool about 65F

What happened to my Nepenthes Miranda?!

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?

Well what are those???

Hello. This Is my sarracenia that I've had for over a year. It's always been fine: It passed dormancy in the winter, grew a lot during spring and survived summer's heat (the hot weather also burnt a lot of pitchers but It survived just fine). Today I noticed some brown marks as you can see in the pictures. Almost scaly -like things that aren't part of the plant and they seem to be attached to the pitchers without moving. I've seen parasites like the mealybugs (and managed to remove them) on my VFT but I've never seen anything like these before. Are those also parasites? Can I remove with a Q tip dipped in alchool like I did with the cochineals that were infesting my VFT? Also what do I do if they get on the rhizome?

Much anticipated update

Cut off the dead pitcher and let the “WASP”, known as a yellow jacket, and to most people at the very least colloquially as a bee 😂 😂 😂

Help with Nephentes plant ;_; Part 2

I posted here a month ago looking for help with my Nephentes plant. I changed pot size and used a mix of sphagnum and perlite, it lost most of its jars (only one remains) and some leaves dried out, but some more started to grow last week

I'd just like to know if it is doing better now or if I should be doing something else ;_;

New Plant Day!

Received this awesome tropical pitcher plant from Sarracenia Northwest. It actually has two plants in it and they are doing great! 😊

Propagating sundew advice.

I’m wanting to divide my sundews and replant/space out. There are a few clusters. Any advice on when to do that, like during dormancy or spring? I don’t want to injure or kill this beautiful plant. TIA.

Is my pitcher okay?

I adore my scarracenia, and we've just left the winter season in Australia so I have moved my plant to a bigger pot recently. I removed all the dead stems that were easy to come off, but I'm wondering about these guys, it's like half of it is dead and the rest is still green. Do I trim them? Or leave them be?

Thankyou in advance
