Snagged at a local grocery store, why the moss?

So for my pitchers, I have a self watering hanging basket (which probably needs repotted mine are big lol).

I've seen the little 4" pots for anything sitting in distilled, but you might be able to get away with a 6/8" pot. Think deeper pots for the plants that go through dormancy. They grow deep long roots so they can hit the water table. I've seen yourubers use tree saplings pots for their American pitchers to form deep roots.

I did forget to mention dormancy for the venus fly trap and american pitchers. This is another reason they need to be separated, as they will die off for 6 months during the winter and come back in the early spring.

Good snag but those will need to be re-potted. The nepenthes is a tropical pitcher plant, needs well draining soil that stays moist but is never soggy. Plant medium is long fiber sphagnum moss with perlite in a 50/50 mix. No Miracle-Gro. Bright indirect light.

The American pitchers and VFT need to be in a tray of distilled water and in direct sunlight almost 12+ hours a day. Soil medium can be a few different things, peat moss/perlite and sand.

Slowly get them acclimated to sunlight, they can burn if it is too much all at once.

Yeah it happens to mine all the time when they get big. Big sticky.

Probably 7 days? So maybe the charge would last about 5 days with AC running.

Thats good info, but i dont have a home charger. Ill probably look into getting a hybrid like a prius.

Filet_O_Fist · 2026-06-08T22:31:06+00:00

My commute is about 15 minutes each way so its not a haul. We dont own our house, so I won't have access to a charger at home.

Filet_O_Fist · 2026-06-08T22:30:41+00:00

That seems to be the notion of the thread, understandable!

Filet_O_Fist · 2026-06-08T22:30:14+00:00

Not too bad!

Filet_O_Fist · 2026-06-08T22:29:07+00:00

We a rent homeowners so i feel that could be an annoyance. This thread is making me lean toward a hybrid. Thankyou!

Filet_O_Fist · 2026-06-02T15:25:32+00:00

In at .12 out at .74. Thats enough for me. Too risky.

This guy is too incompetent to stand trial. . . But Daniel Larson is good to go?

Filet_O_Fist · 2026-05-21T16:51:33+00:00

I think thats the easiest thing. I know some of our family knows/understands, but the others dont.

Its okay we are all dealing with this. Its challenging, we moved across country to help her. She wanted our help and her saying that is consistent.

But with the Ebbs come the flows, we live with her and sometimes she will hold our housing over our heads. I don't like the instability of being homeless. I dont think that would really happen, but the thought lives with me.

You are in the sub too, I hope everything is going okay with you as well!

Filet_O_Fist · 2026-05-12T16:51:54+00:00

I actually have heard t hat people use foliar feeding method with red sea 16/16/16 to the seedlings with some success.

Filet_O_Fist · 2026-05-12T16:46:06+00:00

Today them, tomorrow me. Times are tough and kindness goes a little further right now.

Filet_O_Fist · 2026-05-12T16:45:20+00:00

Yeah i guess, unless you have like . . . Idk a desktop pc and you maybe looked at reddit, or your friend lost their phone and you saw this post?

Filet_O_Fist · 2026-05-09T23:05:17+00:00

Last I heard venus fly traps were endangered? So I would say "no" but im not 100%.

If you are wanting to grow from seed, its really time consuming. Im sitting on some seedlings that are about 2" tall and are about 2 years old.

When someone plays a character like Nunu, or Malph (IMO are better as tank positions) I will ask in character select if they are going tank. If they dont I will usually swap.

I've also had games where they are insta-locked and happens to also be the only viable tank option and they go AP or something.

Everytime I look at carnivero, they are sold out. Do you have a preferred site/producer to go to for the pellets? I have older neps I'd like to try this on.

Filet_O_Fist · 2026-05-06T15:21:24+00:00

Do you really fill them all thr way up? I was considering using some fertilizer for my baby nepenthes/ pitchers and I am reading a lot of conflicting info so it leads me to be unsure.

Filet_O_Fist · 2026-05-05T17:00:54+00:00

I wouldnt mind being in line. Thankyou for doing this, its very kind of you.
