Look what I found! I think it's an ampullaria green? Hopefully it grows well

Huh. Neat. We get next to no carnivores at shops here in the desert...

First time I've ever seen neps here so I'm really excited lol. Never thought they'd get any in winter though.

Wait, not even VFTs? Like I said I've never seen the neps but they always have suffering VFTs.

Not really. I only came across those at Trader Joe's because they have their own branded flytraps regardless of location. I did get lucky once and find some Pinguicula at a garden center that works with various local plant people, though.

Same here except we occasionally see an import of (non phal) orchids which is pretty cool.
A while back the garden center around here had cobra lilies (on display, not for sale ) and some other CP’s. I always seem to find a nep there no matter what while the traps and dews seem to come and go.

Never seen an ampullaria with such big leaves but who knows.

Looks amazing! Any updates on how it’s doing?

Really? Lowlanders are known for having large leaves.

Thanks! it's not doing to well. Now that I look back, I'm realizing it wasn't in great shape and had probably been watered with tap for a while. That and less than ideal temps may have killed it

Do you think it looks like mineral burn? Has it lost its turgor yet?

I don't really know. It just looks dead. There's even some mold near the growth point
