Re: On all my posts! *With pictures*

Hello, I recently bought a Purple Pitcher, Sundew, VLT, and a Nepenthes distillatoria. The sundew looks little brown and sticky but has a patch of nice soft something growning in the middle any idea what that is? Is it a dud? Second my VLT is well green a few dead traps/leafs but when I feed they eat =) My purple pitcher has water in it (I will it up 2/3 of its pitcher) And I put one cricket each in the pitchers is that ok? Last my Nepenthes distillatoria it has NO pitchers at all but MANY babies soon to be full in 1-2 weeks. My Nepenthes distillatoria & Purple pitcher both are slightly liying on the ground, I was wondering if that's ok? They still keep all their water in (not the Nepenthes distillatoria). I have a little starter green house kit that I have them in I will soon need to move the Nepenthes distillatoria and Purple pitcher. But I have them outside in the sun and I mist A LOT every day I was wondering if that's ok or should I move them inside? It would be great for some answers thanks!

WAY TO HOT IN FLORIDA TODAY! ='( I went out to check my CP plants and 75% brown 25% green =((( I took them inside right then and there and felt the soil very hot!! Took them out gently set them in plastic pots and sprayed them down!! Is their any way they can turn around or no? :(

Here are pictures of the plants ...

Your plants look dead if not close to dead to me. Sorry to say.

Hate to be blunt, but those all look dead.

Do you use distilled water?
