Sorry about my newb question, can I leave the plants I buy in the soil they come in from the nursery? It looks like peat to me but I dont know if they typically put fertilizers or crap that I should get rid of?

(For reference I cultivate mostly succulents so the first thing I do after a purchase is remove the peat from the roots. )

Bought this plant from California carnivores, said it was a pinguicula moranensis 'libelulita' but it doesn't have the characteristic darker spots. I wonder if they've accidentally given me another moranensis 'A' ? Not that I'm disappointed it's huge and blooming profusely.

No more ordering and hauling around large jugs of ro water. Bought a ro filter and made frame for it out of some aluminum extrusions and 3d printed parts. Its portable and can be connected to every tap in my house with a garden hose. I use the filter to fill up a 15l jerrycan with a build in tap so i can easily fill up a watering can.

I’ve had my spatulas about a month. He’s seems to be fading away slowly. My other drosera ( Adele and capensis) are doing great. Not sure what’s going on- gets distilled water from the bottom- 12-14 hours LED a day plus a little indirect sun- substrate is what I bought him in-3-1 peat and sand- he’s well fed cuz I have a fungus gnat issue- thought maybe he’s getting over fed but not sure- any help would be great.

These two are growing in the same container. They both seem so happy in full sun.

I was trying to pull off this leaf and it broke 😭 is there a chance it will still grow?

I got this one on Easter, and I decided to repot it today. I used a 1-1 mixture of unenhanced peat-moss and perlite like the internet said, but something about it doesn't look right. Will my plant survive?

Im planning on adding rocks to my container bog. Is seiryu and dragonstone okay? Or do they leech minerals?

I am thinking about making a terrarium. The size is 40 gallons, I have built smaller terrariums before but I have always wanted to do a big carnivorous one. I own two Cape Sundew and was going to use them for this build. I obviously will need to buy a lot more. Amd that is where I need some help! I need to know what plants or variations (of cape sundews) that is "low" maintenance and requires no winter hibernation. The reason why I brought up variations is that the theme I am going for is "King Kong: Skull Island." The tank is horizontal and I am thinking of having an open top so it is an open terrarium. I can spray the plants with water, and I have a fixed light for it.

Hello,

I'm looking for a budget LED grow light like the Yescom 225, which I am unable to find online. Anyone have anything similar that doesn't put off a lot of heat/get hot to the touch? Thanks in advance!

Appeared overnight. Wondering what to do since they’re all relatively small nepenthes. If spider mites should I just rub with alcohol wipes after a rinse off?

Excluding the begonia in the back hehe

Thank you everyone who responded to my previous post on where to get a Sundew plant. I'm going to get one from California Carnivores. Now I have a couple questions on pots, as it looks like all the sundews come in those plastic seedling pots. One, do the self watering pots work I see on amazon work. There 2 major designs, one being a terracotta pot that is glazed except on the bottom and a glass container that the pot fit inside. (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CSK17PSM/ref=sspa_dk_detail_2?pd_rd_i=B0CSJH1YKT&pd_rd_w=MPkyo&content-id=amzn1.sym.08ba9b95-1385-44b0-b652-c46acdff309c&pf_rd_p=08ba9b95-1385-44b0-b652-c46acdff309c&pf_rd_r=VYSK9V5FNVX5NYTDYBX8&pd_rd_wg=4OoL3&pd_rd_r=40c814ad-bc23-4dc6-b26b-165b84abb4f5&s=kitchen&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWxfdGhlbWF0aWM&th=1) The other being a plastic pot with a bunch of holes on the bottom and a matching plastic tub that the pot can also fit inside.
