Growing up


Nepenthes is opening back up, a good sign

Sundew is quickly digesting that mosquito eater. It's all dried up and withering away. Meanwhile Sundew's nectar is plentiful and it seems to be thriving.

My basil plant blooms new flowers everyday which I pick off to encourage leaf growth

Jalapenos and habanero
Can't wait to see how the habaneros thrive



Chenille has new life!

Venus has all but one dente open and the new growth seems to be getting bigger
My little plants are doing wonderfully. I've included some pictures of my other plants in the solarium as well.

life in action

Looks like a sundew caught a big fish today. That should tide him over for a bit:

Thought this guy was takin' a rest on my plant so I went to blow him off, realized he was stuck, dead, and currently being digested.

I wonder how long this is gonna last ha! This is why I want to keep track of the plants. Moments like these when I get to see the circle of life in action.

Life begins

This is the first of the updates on my particular current plants. I currently have a Nepenthes hybrid, Sarracenia Daina's Delight, Sarracenia Oreophila, Dente Trap, and Sundew. This is how they're looking currently:

All but two of the traps were closed yesterday now a new one is opening up.

Regard pitcher right: Was totally closed from transplant shock yesterday, slightly open again today.


Sarracenia Dahlias delight's petal is wilting. It may die off to allow new growth.

Oreophila seems to be doing very well and the large pitcher next to the flower is currently digesting a bee

Sundew has three curlies

Hoping the sundews flowers will bloom but we shall see they look wilted right now

The nectar seems to be thriving at this window and up on the west ledge the best.
