Sitting next to the blooming orchid is a what I think of as a big pot: an inner pot with multiple sarracenia plants sitting in a water bath. My eye was drawn to something sparkling so I took a closer picture. The edge of the lid of this pitcher looks like it has golden sparkles but it instead there are drops of something sticky (evidence: cat hair). I wonder why, outside of the trap. Lure?

Yet another carnivorous plant, the horned bladderwort. Not shown are the small bladders on the stems that trap small invertebrates. Beautiful flowers found in bogs and wetlands in New England.
Fun to draw.

Trimmed my plant, trimmed the bush, trimmed other overgrown things. Reported and rooted the vera plant, repotted some overgrown .

Turned the left overs into like mulsh for the plants, worms and slugs to enjoy.

Hopefully the will have survived my help. We shall see. 😅

I have for years grown Pitcher plants in jars of Sphagnum moss, but last year I decided to try LECA.

I'm a fan of LECA for most plants including , but I wasn't sure how my plants would go in it, I moved a few plants to to see how they'd go.

What I've found is that plants love LECA, they grow even better in that than they would in moss, so I'll move them all to LECA soon.

I would not recommend it for Venus Fly Traps, I tried and lost the plants, the roots are too small and too close to the surface, so they fail to get enough water.

I haven't tried Sundews, but from memory they have long roots so should be ok.

And if you simply must have a massive mammal for your daily , consider the largest bear ever: . Emerging between 4.9 and 1.8mya in South America, it stood 11ft tall and could weigh over 3000lbs.

More than its extant relative, the spectacled bear, arctotherium's intimidating size allowed it to eat giant sloths and glyptodons by chasing more agile predators off their kills. It died off ~0.5mya, likely due to increased competition and changing climates.
