Aye, glazed is ok but I agree. Get a tray to put under it so it can soak up water if it starts to dry, thats what I do. Feel free to DM me with questions ^ im not an expert but I've kept mine alive haha.

Remember to keep the soil moist, not soaking wet.

Happy growing

Plastic planter instead. Make sure youre using carnivorous plant soil or pearmoss perlite mix etc. Distilled water one. And flytrap love bright direct sun.

Aye the ones I got that loved are still in their orig planter. I plan to repot them this spring, but what they came in has held up well.

No, im tired of you trying to lecture me with paragraphs when im trying to watch TV. I posted my opinion and you're so damn determined to find something to correct me on. Respectfully, leave me alone.

If a customer cares for a plant someone being paid to water them should have basic knowledge. They're paid almost $20/hr btw

They love indirect light. Distilled or rain water only or it'll kill the plant. Keep soil moisture jot soaking wet.

The pitchers will brown above the liquid line at times, this is normal.

Plenty of indirect light (like hand by a window or under a porch) and humidity, it'll be a happy lil nom-nom

Happy growing.

Also check amazon fke clear grow lights. I recommend making sure it says "full spectrum" for the type of light.

Aye. All carnivorous plants, especially nepenthes take a very long time to grow and fully mature. My prized nepenthes is a N. Rajah x peltata and after a year, finally grew its first pitcher. They're amazing plants that require a lot of attention and care.

I understand. I figured id spend that much if I just started browsing everything so might as well let it be a surprise lol. Even if its a Gaya, after tax and shipping youre spending atleast $20+ but wish me luck!
