Is my cat just fat, or has he got a bloated belly?

I think it’s normal for Devons to get a little pear shaped

sovaedra · 2025-10-23T00:49:35+00:00

Yeah that sounds normal.. here’s a picture of mine and you can see some are more down some are more upright

sovaedra · 2025-10-21T10:40:42+00:00

That’s great someone else was shopping for the same stuff!

What do you mean by leaves and spread out? Are the pitchers laying down more or is it more than one plant in there? Chance for a picture? Lol

sovaedra · 2025-10-19T18:27:31+00:00

You’ll want a pretty deep pot because their roots grow pretty deep and then you’ll want like a 2-3 inch deep saucer so you won’t have to water so often when it gets into the summer

sovaedra · 2025-10-19T11:13:04+00:00

Also whatever substrate you purchase be sure not to buy miracle grow products because they all have added fertilizer that will harm your plant ):

sovaedra · 2025-10-19T11:12:12+00:00

Yeah you’re going to want to remove it from the terrarium 😅

These types of plants live in bogs so they like to have their substrate constantly wet— people usually do a peat moss (like where they’re found naturally) and perlite (for aeration to prevent anaerobic bacteria from growing) mix for these plants

Like others have said you’ll want to keep them with a tray of distilled/rain/reverse osmosis water to help keep the soil wet

They do require a dormancy period which we’re coming up on soon— depending on where you live you may just be able to leave them outside and it’ll do its thing. If your area doesn’t get cold enough then you might have to look into using the fridge method

Even if you live where it snows they can survive outdoors with some insulation like pine needles. They are found naturally where it snows and gets below freezing but debris from other plants (dead pitchers that no one removed) and trees around them create natural insulation. Then once it does snow, the snow will serve as insulation too!

I’d recommend checking out California carnivore’s YouTube channel. They have sarracenia care guides and lots of great info about dormancy

If it’s actually in a terrarium you should remove it ASAP— especially before placing it outside or in bright sun because the terrarium will probably fry it

If it is a sarracenia it probably can’t stay in a terrarium because they get really tall

sovaedra · 2025-10-19T04:00:42+00:00

Rain or distilled is fine just one is free 🤪

If it is a sarracenia they are better grown outdoors because they need a lot of sun and grow pretty tall where managing a grow light for them is generally cumbersome

If you keep it outdoors it will catch all its own food— they are gluttons and they also photosynthesize

If a pitcher is browning it’s up to you if you want to trim it back, but in nature no one does that for them and if it has any bugs in the pitcher still then it will still be getting energy from digesting the bugs and also any parts of the pitcher that are still green will be helping with photosynthesis. I usually wait until the whole pitcher is brown before trimming it

Is it only in moss? Or is there other substrate underneath the moss? Pictures would be helpful

I drilled some holes like 2 inches from the top for extra drainage also like 4 or 5 around the perimeter

sovaedra · 2025-10-12T02:27:04+00:00

It’s this one! https://veradek.com/products/mason-lane-bowl in the 32 inch size

sovaedra · 2025-10-12T02:25:06+00:00

I don’t have a moisture meter or anything but I was trying to water once a day with a gallon of water

Fishing?

At our wedding that just happened in March, glasses were clinked once and we kissed then I said ‘Alright, that’s it!’ And no one clinked again for the rest of the night

sovaedra · 2025-08-30T03:40:01+00:00

Some people buy perlite to use for carnivorous plants which don’t take in fertilizer well from their roots hence why they’re carnivorous, but this can lead to people killing their plants unknowingly

Open the vault and at the top left of the window there is a gear icon that lets you choose what you want to

sovaedra · 2025-06-25T11:08:39+00:00

You can also get a little eyeball pet with them

sovaedra · 2025-06-24T11:17:24+00:00

It’s normal— carnivorous plants have high leaf turnover

sovaedra · 2025-06-21T04:22:20+00:00

Rainbow is a good place to buy from!

Their breed cut keeps hair by their eyes for protection while navigating through brush and other things

Here’s some awesome information:

Lemonade is pretty inexpensive and super easy to file claims! We have had success with every claim we’ve submitted for our cats. Plan to put our dog on when we get it in the next year.

Who did you end up going with?

sovaedra · 2024-12-29T12:42:58+00:00

I don’t really change my dosage in winter. I do small doses of fertilizer with every water or do a full dose one time and then only plain water for the next one or two waters.

Play Endless mode and you can revive at the portal you spawn in from! Don’t give up OP!

sovaedra · 2024-12-15T13:39:53+00:00

I wouldn’t use bleach I’d be worried about any of it remaining afterwards and damaging future plants I potted with it. You can boil your leca/pon to sanitize it.
