Carnivorous Plants Growing Tips

All right, so now you want to grow some of these plants. I am putting together growing tips for reference.

Remember, just because I said it, doesn't mean it's so. What works for me may not work for you. I've heard of people that grow VFT's in deep water. But most people that I know of don't advise that at all.

Overview

A general overview and warm up for growing specific species.

Species specific

Dionaea muscipula. Venus Flytrap

The Famous Venus Flytrap or VFT. This is the most common and

most often killed carnivorous plant. Overall, they are not that hard.

However, I still have some die almost every year for no reason I can

assertain.

Drosera

Drosera cistiflora

This plant has the largest, or at least one of the largest flowers in

in the sundew family. Fun to grow, it's from South Africa,

requires a dormancy, and is fairly rare in cultivation.
