Description

A delight to grow and feed. This plant makes a great companion to pest-prone plants. Pitcher plants need bright indirect light, bottom watering is best to keep their soil moist and keep them away from cold drafts. They can produce amazing pitcher shaped flowers.

Water your carnivore plants from the bottom to keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. If/when repotting is necessary use a 50/50 mix of sand and peat moss or perlite. These plants do not require nutrients as they receive them from the insects! If there isn't an adequate supply of insects indoors, you can feed your plant dried crickets or fish food. Crush the food into very small pieces or use a powdered version.
