A reptile mat?

Wow!! Lucky! The bottom pic of the ping that's flowering, although the flower looks more white because of the flesh of the camera. I can still tell it is violet and with round petals, and adding the familiar shape of the leaves. I can tell this one is P. X 'Titan', a mexican hybrid that can get quite large. The most easiest way to identify your pings is not only their leaves but also the charateristics of the flowers. So you...

Santa RULES!

WOW! Those URLS don't even work! Well here are the links! Sorry ^_^ (Purple Pitcher) (VFT) (There Temp. Home)

If your cats are nibbling on plants they are lacking something in their diet. I buy Indoor Cat by Purina which contains greens and don't have a problem with my cats but I also grow catnip just for them. So far so good.

The plants I was wanting to grow are sundew, Sarracenia pitcher plant,and Nepenthes Pitcher plant. Maybe Butterworts plants, but I know nothing about how they feed.

For some reason, I brought them inside one night and left them on a shelf. One of the house cats is notorious for eating plants. Next morning, the dish was knocked over and the cat was puking up vfts and the flies inside them. No need to feed butterworts...

Agreed with the fungus gnats keeping the butterworts and sundews fed..mine are absolutely covered! As far as the cat, mine has attacked one of my d. adelae's TWICE (and he gets the indoor cat formula food too), and the 2nd time I thought I had put it somewhere out of his reach. However, I re-purposed a shallow rectangular plastic pan by filling it with peat and planting catnip, wheatgrass and birdseed. I covered it with a clear cover...

Hello! I have recently started growing a Nepenthes and Butterwort in a terrarium (Chopped moss mix, plenty of charcoal, plenty of peanuts and charcoal at the bottom). I always leave the lid quite a bit ajar for air circulation. The new leaves are beautiful, perfect, but it seems as they touch the sphagnum moss mat (that they are growing on top of) the leaves are rotting (see attached link for images):...
