"Nature’s Pitfall"

“Northern Pitcher Plants (Sarracenia purpurea) are carnivorous, allowing them to survive in nutrient-poor bog environments. Here there is no rich soil, but rather a floating mat of Sphagnum moss. Instead of drawing nutrients up through its roots, this plant relies on trapping prey in its specialized bell-shaped leaves, called pitchers. Typically, these plants feast on invertebrates – such as moths and flies – but recently, researchers at the Algonquin Wildlife Research Station discovered a surprising new item on the plant’s menu: juvenile Spotted Salamanders (Ambystoma maculatum). This population of Northern Pitcher Plants in Algonquin Provincial Park is the first to be found regularly consuming vertebrate prey. For a plant that’s used to capture tiny invertebrate, a juvenile Spotted Salamander is a hefty feast!”

This is the smaller vase and pitcher plant I've got. Look at this Sarracenia Purpurea Venosa! LOOK HOW SMOL IT IS! I love these carnivorous plants. They are absolutely my faves...

Updated picture of my carnivorous shelf 😁 now with my new nepenthes! I have a bunch of baby nepenthes too, I ended up giving one of them away to a friend, but I clearly still have very many! Ignore my props on the left, lol. Butterworts are in the tray because they accidentally got a little too dry, but once they are sufficiently watered they should come back and start producing stickiness on the leaves again 😁

My sarracenias are doing just fine, you may notice one of my sarracenias are not in here though- that one I'm letting my parents borrow to take care of the remaining drain flies in our kitchen! It will be back on my shelf soon, though.

Sundew looks like it may flower sometime soon! If it does, I'll be sure to post pictures, since y'all seem to really like my carnivorous plants! Also, they had some extremely sad looking sundews at the nursery :( I would've rescued a couple but they were $20 a piece! I just couldn't afford it :(

The new nepenthes I wanted in a hanging basket, but I couldn't find a hanging pot drip tray small enough for this (I have a larger one for my other hanging plant, a pothos), so the pitchers will just have to hang off the shelf for now. The soil was super dry! I don't like what it came in very much, so I'll likely be changing up the mix sometime soon when I have a chance to 😁

A friend wanted to see my pitcher plant (Sarracenia purpurea) when I talked about it so I ran out to take some quick photos from the greenhouse in the cold afternoon.

I still dk how it's still alive all thing's considered.

So, these are PART of the carnivorous plants (and plants in general) I do own. I also do own four Dionaea, two Nepenthes and one Heliamphora. BUT! These are different types of Sarracenia Purpurea. These are my fav. They are baby. I’d get so many more if I had room and money... ....I may have a problem..

well i took a crack at repotting the lettuce herself. id say it went pretty well! look at the big healthy roots (you can even see where they were just about to start growing out of the holes in the pot), and its already spreading out in the pot. god i havent posted pictures of it in a while but it got Really big.

the OTHER thing that happened today is. well you see what had happened was after i repotted it my mom thought we needed to do something relaxing and fun right. so we went to a plant store. and uhmmm.

okay so this is an N. ampullaria . im going to be so real we were about to leave and as i turned around to go i saw it under a shelf and the GASP i let out! its in not great shape, had some dead leaves and the pitchers are pretty clearly on their way out though not dead already, its quite floppy and clearly needs water. was ALSO in just regular goddamn soil, like the last one i got from that nursery (moe! in april! can you believe?)

but i depotted and it had these beautiful healthy roots you can see--all of that black mass is just roots, theres no soil left and just a little moss around the root ball. i cleaned it up, cutting off everything dead, and put it in nice sphagnum/perlite. heres the final product:

and a pitcher glamor shot (though theyre not very glamorous atm):

i had to put the hanging wires on the new pot because its a little top heavy, so theyre just temporarily holding it upright until i can make a moss pole (which i already needed to do to move moe out of the hanging basket for the same reason). this is really temporary--even for the babies, since theyre kinda crowded and will need to be spaced out some--because i need to find a different tray i can put it in too, but for now its a good setup. its sitting on a nice little stand i have where it should be getting enough humidity, plenty of sun during the day, and i gave it the water it desperately needed too.

fingers crossed it doenst go into shock too badly! this is far and away the worst condition a plants been when i took it home but i am confident this is fixable, especially with how good it looks now--it was at most a little beat up and thirsty, which i SHOULD have fixed. i hope. well see.
