Well, this post may not really contain much green in it since most of it is purple. Some of the shades of green on the larger leaves are pretty cool though. What you see in the photo is about the size

Hello everyone! I would like to share a story about our garden and why it is very important to our family. Backyard gardening is important because whenever there is no other source of food, we can always

So this is what we are going to accomplish today. Some of the larger Drosera plants are growing well above the rim of their pots. I will be doing a step by step on how to repot these bad boys. This one

Notice the stem that comes out purple and turns green at the base of the plant. That stem is the subject of this post. Venus flytraps are known for putting up flowers that extend really far away, and usually

Plants that usually flop, like chives, peppers or tomatoes, are best planted from the bottom of the pot. That leaves the top side available for any other kind of plant that never needs to be tied up on

Today I am going to take pictures of all the different carnivorous plants that have flowers open. There are many more that have only buds, but I'm going to concentrate on the ones that have flowers. This

I doubled the size of the pot that I was using for the first potato tower but besides that, I didn't like the way it lost soil volume as it got taller and taller. So I think I'm going to use solid walls

Today I wanted to do an update on one of the plants that I repotted two months ago. It looks just about the same in the center with all of the old "leaves" slowly turning brown and becoming less

Potato plants in bloom! I have never seen a potato flower. One of the two potato towers is in bloom. Yes, I said two potato towers, though one is not yet a tower. There are more updates than what is listed

This is one of my favorite carnivorous plants. It is inescapable for bugs when they fly between the branches. At the end of this post, I will present you with its new baby as well. First off, its first

This is an update of sorts, though I never got a chance to show you the first post. Hints of Potato Tower II are mentioned here too. On the left, (above) you have the one of the few pictures of my cabbage

Hello people of God, it me Lady Decency.  So today i want to see my little garden, kinda bushy but it has helped me in so many ways. I so much love gardens, i always

Let's do some updates! Starting with posts from August. Oldest ones first. There was a post on Potting Baby Carnivorous plants done Aug. 13, 2025. On the left is the photo from that post. On the right,

You wouldn't believe what I just found in the middle of the road. This is a tree, of sorts, that I have wanted in my garden for quite some time. I am not going to tell you what it is yet, but you can guess

We are going to do Drosera maintenance today. This is important to do because the plant starts to grow up and out of the moss that it's situated in. If I don't take care of this, the plant is more vulnerable

Well first of all, you don't need to tie up the plants. I have been trying to sprout jalapeno seeds for 2 months. Four have sprouted so far, and two have lived. Here's a photo of the one that's most far

Today we're going to finish the last step and set the roots free for the Venus flytrap. It has only been a little over a week since we repotted this Venus. We left the tiny pot under it but cut out the

The Sarracenia that I repotted is back in growth mode as the weather got nice this week. It is amazing. This post will be an update to the Double Repotting project I posted four months ago. Here is comparison

Most of the plants that I have are Droseras. Those are the ones that are very easy to reproduce simply by putting one leaf in some distilled water. The plants just sprout up after a couple of months soaking.

The best way to repot special plants, like the Venus Fly Trap, is to keep it a secret from the plant. Do not let it know that it has been repotted! I do not have much luck with growing these from seed
