Carnivorous Plants

Incl. Dionaea muscipula “Venus Flytrap” & Nepenthes “Pitcher Plant”

Light: These plants prefer at least 6hrs. of sun, ideally in a southern / western exposure.

Water: Because they are native to very wet bogs and swamps, it is best to keep them in a pot with drainage, sitting on a tray of distilled water. They need to be kept constantly moist, and don’t tolerate the salts / chemicals in tap water very well. You can use distilled water or leave a container of tap water out for 24-48 hours so that enough chemicals will have evaporated to water with.

Environment: They need 50% or more ambient humidity. Because of this, they thrive in terrariums and closed containers. Ensure it is potted in peat / sphagnum moss or a special carnivorous plant mix. Do not fertilize.

Toxicity: Reported to be mildly toxic to cats / dogs if ingested.

Of note:

Resist the urge to trigger the traps with your finger because the action of the trap requires so much energy, they die after 3-5 triggers. If you trigger all your traps, your plant could die.
Carnivory in plants is an adaptation to low nutrient bogs.

If you feed it, do not feed it dead insects. They do not eat often- so don’t worry if you think it hasn’t eaten in a while.
*When planting in a pot without a drainage hole, avoid over watering by estimating 25% of the container’s overall volume, with appropriate drainage materials incorporated when planting.
