Hiya newbie already addicted

Hi there, my name is Jade. I got a VFT as an impulse buy last October, and despite my lack of knowledge about VFTs at all, I was able to keep it until about mid January when it put up a flower stalk and I didn’t notice. Although there’s probably zero chance to bring it back, I do plan to repot it again and stick it outside when we stop getting severe weather.

I then got two pings, but I lost one to Browning Heart Disease. It has been a learning curve especially since I never really kept anything but bamboo. But my Pinguicula Ehlersaie is doing beautifully, and I’m 99% set on getting the Agnata.

I just a few days ago liberated 5 VFTs from Lowe’s. Unfortunately they’re drooping because the inclement weather is still here, but I’m hoping my grow lights can help them limp along until they can get full sun.

Finally I’ve been trying to order enough stuff so I can try my hand at growing Drosera seeds. And I would love to eventually have at least one pitcher plant. I seem to fall in love with every plant I look at.

I’m looking forward to learning more and maybe someday being able to help someone who is new like me.

A pic of my ping. I have pics of the VFTs, but I want to wait until they hopefully perk up a bit.IMG_5498.jpeg

If this is a bad size feel free to delete or ask me to although I’ll be asleep soon. I don’t exactly know how to fix my phone pics.
