A veteran of a couple dozen Broadway plays and musicals💋 I’m mostly using this to share pictures of my plants, especially the carnivorous ones.

A lot of old Christmas music is very sad and lonely… “have yourself a merry little Christmas” is haunting. “I’ll be home for Christmas” is about being alone and away from family. For many of us, the holidays have always been sad. This isn’t new.

I struggle to care. It’s not because I don’t want gun violence to stop. I do. I just struggle to care about each and every time this happens. It’s just part of life now. I think this is a very common stance. I’m not “devastated”. I feel nothing about it.

Heliamphora “Tequila” taking a steam bath as it recovers. It grew a new pitcher though!

Never in hell but I applaud the optimism. That cess pit of hate and debauchery is lost and not worth putting effort into.

The pettiness is beyond compare. It’s so ridiculous.

The best version of a Christmas Carol is the muppets one. And it’s one of the best movies ever. So I think that’s a win.

I am enjoying listening to you steamroll these trolls. God how unpleasant.

I agree with all of this. Tbf tho all of our numbers have been stolen and disseminated by data brokers for like the last decade.

Tbf, it’s been dismantled now. In name at least.

My partner can always tell I’m about to buy a new one when he sees THAT look 😂 I can’t help it. They’re the best plants!

I cannot keep Regia alive to save my life. Their leaves always dry up before they even open. I have about 7 baby plants growing from the roots of my first failure and they are doing well, so I’m hopeful! My big plant in the same pot is struggling to keep any leaves.

Excellent plan! Love this. Thank you for the pointers!

I had no idea!! I have a big giant pot of them but it could always be bigger!! How do you go about transferring them to the regular substrate, if you don’t mind me asking for tips 😂

I have a plastic tub with my first ever leaf pullings! I have one sprout on a Capensis (red) that has a plantlet!

They aren’t usually self pollinating but they do reproduce from the roots. I have couple now!

It’s d. graomogolensis! I was surprised how long the flower lasted. They’re both still open.

Realized as they matured that my two clones of exappendiculata are not the same. Now they’re in two different pots 😂

I separated a new “low light” shelf for all my Heliamphora Pulchella and all my crosses with it. Pulchella is sensitive to too much light. I keep overlighting them, so I’m separating them out.

Notice this is moments after the Democratic Party overwhelms the news cycle by neutering themselves for literally no reason. I hate this timeline.

I am so furious. What is the fucking point. These people are horrifyingly bad at politics.

Mine was a prop rescue from my parents house. They got it from my grandmother’s funeral. Despite the odds theirs is thriving again and mine is growing! I’m looking forward to seeing it flower for me eventually :] They are resilient, especially if their environment is stable!

Mine refuses to flower but he DOES throw out tons of leaves and new growth points, so soon

Is there a caterpillar corpse I’m not seeing because that is so gruesome and very on brand for fungi.

Just a quick shot of Sarracenoides x minor

Heliamphora Godzilla has 3 simultaneous growth points coming up at once! She divides for me a LOT and I am very happy with its growth!
