So I bought a pitcher plant from a stall in the local farmer's market, as a sort of housewarming present to myself (My family and I recently moved). I kept the plant in the plastic pot I bought it in, with the sole addition of a water tray so it could water itself whenever I inevitably forgot it existed. I set it on the windowsill in the sun, occasionally gave it tap water (against the recommendation of the seller), and half expected the pitcher plant to die within a fortnight.
That was 7 months ago.
Now the tiny pot is overflowing with plants somehow. The original pitcher plant (some type of Sarracenia I believe) has sprouted several new pitchers, including 2 that are double the height of the others. There are also about a dozen Y-shaped possibly-sundew (Drosera?) sprouts that appeared about a month or 2 later. Finally, there are 2 stems with these teensy little yellow flowers that I'm pretty sure are completely different (maybe Utricularia). This isn't even counting the assortment of greenery hugging the dirt that I don't have a clue about.
Basically, I've been pretty lucky keeping these alive, and it's starting to look like they're going to stick around for longer than I thought. I want to get them a bigger pot, likely a couple planters, but I don't want to screw up whatever it is I'm doing right.
So, anyone know what exactly I have here? I want to look up more specific care instructions.
Thanks in advance!
More pictures can be provided if these aren't clear enough
