Carnivorous Plants are some of the most fascinating plants you can add to your home! This mix includes varieties such as Venus Flytraps and Pitcher Plants, which have evolved specialized leaves to capture insects and supplement the limited nutrients available in their natural bog habitats.
Their care is a little different from the average houseplant, but getting the basics right makes all the difference: plenty of sunlight, mineral-free water, and absolutely no regular fertilizer.
Sunlight: Thrives in full sun
Water: Keep consistently moist using rainwater, distilled, or reverse-osmosis water. Do not use tap water
Temperature: Prefers roughly 20°C–30°C during active growth. Venus flytraps and temperate pitcher plants require a cool winter dormancy, ideally around 2°C–10°C. Protect potted plants from the extreme freezing temperatures of a Zone 3a winter.
Size: Sold in a 2” pot
Bloom: Mature plants may flower, though they're primarily grown for their traps and pitchers
Growing: Temperate perennial plants that require a winter dormancy
Maintenance: Never use regular fertilizer or standard potting soil. Do not feed them meat or other human food, the plants are perfectly capable of catching insects on their own!
