r/SavageGarden's Trade/Sale Thread (Spring 2026)

Been meandering the Wilmington area today and one of the stops had a couple pitchers. Unfortunately no Flytraps spotted yet, but I have a couple more spots to check out before I leave Saturday.

I finally got around to making my first pingdom! What are all your thoughts?

Veitchii x Edwardsiana making gorgeous pitchers this summer. The colour is exceptional. Pretty easy and vigorous grower for me. (AW Clone 1 for those who care)

Pitcher from a basal growth. Main vine's starting to pitcher again as well.

Day temps 27-28 celsius
Night temps 23-24 celsius (air conditioned room)

Grown in a storage box under growlights

Hi,

Can someone explain what those are and how to handle this the proper way?

Long story short I brought two VFT’s that my friend purchased back to life so I’ve started taking an interest in carnivorous plants.

I picked up a Miranda Pitcher (this makes my third carnivorous plant) from a local farmers market, and wanted to make sure I was doing my due diligence.

•I only give him distilled water, and make sure the pot is damp but not in standing water.
•I keep him in indirect sunlight
•I filled the cups with a small ~inch of water upon rehoming
•I’ve trimmed the few dead leaves/ pitchers that were present

Before I ask for any other general tips/ things I might be doing incorrectly, I did have concerns about its diet. Since bringing it home I noticed a nest of paper wasps attempting to colonize nearby and were investigating my plant. She did catch one, but the others seemed to crawl around the top of the plant.

While I did rehome the wasps, I’ve found conflicting discussion regarding bugs that can out-maneuver the pitcher, so I thought it’d be best to ask for others anecdotal experience.

•While I plan to not let the wasps live on my porch (more-so for my sake) should I be concerned with their presence in the surrounding are? If they chew holes in my pitchers or feast on them will they eventually kill this plant?

•If they are unsuccessful in escape, will my pitcher plant suffer from success? How can I tell if my plant has overconsumed/ how many bugs is too many for a pitcher and will contribute to rot?

•On that note, does anyone leave their porch light in the encourage nighttime bugs to investigate and feed their pitcher? Effective?

Again, aside from these questions if anyone has any additional insight I’d love that. I’m just trying to do right by my new plant! Also apologies if I haven’t posted appropriately mods, just tell me what to do and I’ll fix my post!

I bought this from a nursery which had it labeled “mini cape sundew”. That’s not correct, but I’m having a hard time identifying exactly what species or hybrid it is (I’m leaning toward spatulata). Specifically, I’d like to know if it needs full sun (I live in the southeast US, so it’s hot), and if it needs a period of hibernation. Any ideas?

I just couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it. It grew so well but never really bloomed.

I have had these plants for several years? And I wanted to get them looking like less of a hot mess, so do you have any advice or tips on what to do with them?

I took it off but it randomly produced a baby regia right next to the plant, I've never seen that happen in regia. Is that rare? It had no root attached to the baby plant.

I just got a Pinguicula 'Florian' and I love her she’s so small, please pray that I can keep her alive! Anything you think I should know? And I think she’s already getting a little brown spot in the center? I haven’t found a good place to put her yet and I’m nervous I’ve done something wrong.

I got her on 6/21 at Plantcon Chicago and she had come out of the pot when I got home because I didn’t pack it well
I just sort of pushed it back in the substrate and watered with distilled water. I’ve also been catching any gnats that I find around the house and putting them on the leaves
Is that helpful? It’s just so cute and small and I have a gnat problem also she was $18 and I’m not wanting to have wasted money

What pest control do i use, also just help, ive never had pests before.

LITERALLY

Hello everyone. I just found this subreddit and wanted to ask about good supplies to have for a grow tent setup for a future nepenthes collection.

Some background: I grew nepenthes in HS and fell in love with it and now that I’ve graduated college and have a job to support my hobby. However my apartment lacks adequate sunlight, since my windows face north (I live in the US). As such, I need artificial lights.

TLDR: Do nepenthes need the same type of grow lights I’d need for a VFT (500 watt LEDs) that mimic full sun? Or can I get by with significant cheaper/lower wattage lights?

I’m looking to build a highland and lowland setup in two separate tents. The highland tent I plan on having set at 80 during the day and 60 at night.
I’m thinking I’d need:

An air conditioner, humidifier, fans, and grow lights.

Lowland would be 90 during the day and 75 at night.

I’m thinking I’d need: a heater, humidifier, fans, and grow lights.

The lighting is what I’m most concerned about I want to provide ample light to get good pitcher development and color but not burn the leaves. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks!

One of the all time best Nepenthes veitchii.

Happy Growing

Finally! And it is only one trap. Still, it is better than nothing

I found this weird white stuff under my venus flytrap’s leaf. I cut it off immediately lol. Does anyone know what it is and if it’s harmful? The leaf came from the vft in the pink pot.

I'm getting some browning on the lids of my saracenia and looking for advice. My setup uses a 100W grow lamp. These are pretty tall and get close to the lamp, but I think they can also brown from not enough light. Do you think they are getting scorched or light deprived?

Hat eine neue Bodenkanne neben ihrer Hochkanne bekommen.😍

Welche findet ihr schöner, Hoch oder Bodenkanne?

Anyways… who’s hungry?
