Hello!

I just adjusted my profile. I didn't know you could do that, actually!

Onto the subject, I have attached a picture of my plants. My collection is small, but growing. I asked the question about dormancy because my plants are doing weird things and I wanted to see if dormancy was the problem. I am very young and don't know much about proper care of carnivorous plants. All I know is you need humidity, special soil, and distilled water.

Onto the plants:

The first is a Venus fly trap. Every time I buy one and take care of it, it dies. I don't know what the problem is!

The second is a pitcher plant I got from a friend. It went this color a week after putting it into a terrarium.

The third is another pitcher plant I got from the net. It lasted all summer but now I think it is starting to die. The bottom of the main stem is brown and the pitchers have all died.


If dormancy isn't the problem with these plants, what is the problem?

Thanks!

Jared
