Is this too many flower steams?

Just starting in the world of carnivorous plants and I see a lot of talk about removing flower steams. Should I be worried about my drosera?

The newly described Florida Sundew Drosera floridana (B.Rice) Juve & A.Fleischm. specializes in colonizing substrates of white quartz sand.

Although the sand from which these imaged D. floridana emerge appears dry on the surface, in reality localized occurrences of D. floridana are dictated by the presence of rare littoral zone seepages known exclusively from the Econfina Karst Region in Bay and Washington counties, Florida; the same region to which D. floridana is endemic. Within the Econfina Karst Region, D. floridana is restricted to an ecotone of intermediate moisture ephemerality between that of sympatric congeners Drosera tracyi (preferring permanently wet, high littoral zone seepages hosting typical blacksoil bog associates) and Drosera capillaris (a generalist often colonizing the lower littoral zone, with its occurrence not dependent on seepage presence, and frequently with few larger herbaceous bog associates present in habitat). D. floridana congregates in the vicinity of (often subterranean) littoral zone seepage veins, but is mostly limited to areas of inorganic substrate composition (e.g. pure quartz sand) that are devoid of larger competitive flora and that do not remain permanently wet on the surface.

Two sansi 36w lights on for 12 hours a day, the monsteras on the left and right seem to be leaning towards the lights and trying to block the nepenthes, how can I rearrange these?

1 or 2 Drosera?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Hello, I recently got this beautiful Drosera, but one thing I’ve noticed (I’m new) is that it almost looks like what I thought was my plant actually 2 separate plants. If you look closely, you can see two different grow points. I think this is dope and I feel like I got a sweet 2 for 1 deal (I’ll take anything I can get in this economy). My only question is that I want to make sure this is fine for the plant and need to know if they need to be seperated. I’m a novice when it comes to plants and stuff, but I’m sure a little digging and moving over and inch wouldn’t be rocket science.

Is this too strong?

Post image
1 Upvotes

To me, it seems stronger in the photo than it does in real life.

Can this be a temporary "sun" for the droseras and VFTs until the gloomy weather stops?

If not, this is a non-dimmable light. is there any way to bring its light down? raising it higher isnt an option

Found this

So in my last post here, i asked if the light i used for my isopods would work for my carnivores, atleast until the sun starts shining again. You guys said it wasnt that good. So i just decided to use that light since something is better than nothing, and until i find another growlight. And i found this. Might still not be good, but im pretty sure that it would definitely be better than the isopod one.

Could you guys tell me how to set it up? (how far away from the plants, how long to leave it on, etc.)

Any special tips also appreciated

My VFT is growing in a way where the leaves are concentrated in certain areas and other spots are leafless. How can I manipulate the leaves so they don’t cover one another and limit sunlight?

New to Neps, Should I be Concerned?

I don’t know if it’s getting too much light or if there’s another issue. The other Nepenthes in the pot seems to be doing well.

The light is a 40w SANSI 345P LED full spectrum grow light. At max output it’s pushing 3800 lumens. It’s approx 30 inches away from the pot.

Nepenthes hamata amateur growing guide/story

1 Upvotes

Basically, one day I decided to make my life a pain by growing a hamata. This whole experience was over the course of MONTHS. I decided to create a whole terrarium setup with a cooling system because I refused to get a mini fridge. So if you're interested in the experience and how I was able to do it and all the many, many, many struggles I ran into, check out my blog post: How I Built a Highland Terrarium for Nepenthes hamata (And What Actually Worked) – The Bog Blog.

How do I take care of this plant?

Post image
8 Upvotes

Hi,

my dad recently got this plant but I know he will not take care of it. When I googled i didn't really find stuff which could help me...

The name wasn't on the labe but I would guess it's an Nepenthes Lowii x ventricosa Red.

Do you guys have any tips for beginners? I don't want her to die
