They were a gift from someone I love, and I really don’t want them to die.
I believe the plants are: Drosera capensis, Nepenthes alata, and Pinguicula Tina.
The substrate, from bottom to top, is: lava rock, peat mixed with aquarium gravel, and a layer of dried sphagnum moss on top.
The Tupperware has drainage holes, so when I pour water in, it soaks everything from the bottom, it stays quite boggy.
The Nepenthes is sitting in a piece of filter sponge so its roots get oxygen and don’t stay waterlogged. The green moss on top of the sphagnum is a mix of various aquarium mosses.
The rock with the Pings is limestone covered in moss. Should I maybe switch to lava rock instead?
The Pinguicula was super fragile and lost a lot of leaves when I repotted it 😭, and the Drosera turned out to be a clump of tiny ones.
I still need to buy a grow light, so this setup is only temporary. I’ll check the subreddit for recommendations.
Thanks for reading! ❤️

Looks good. As you’ve already noted you need a better light. Also that nepe will get *big* when its happy, but you can always move it to a new planter
