_Posted by nano on 2024-03-07_

my carnivorous collection so far! ordered more rare nepenthes so i can have a carnivorous collection inside once the sarracenia are acclimated to outdoor conditions; i can’t spend all my time with them😭

🖤quick question from someone new …what is a carnivorous plant?

#### Timmyturner replied on 2024-03-07

I’m guessing like a Venus fly trap type of plant?!

#### nano replied on 2024-03-07

they eat bugs! the bugs fall into the pitchers or traps, and then the plant dissolves the bug and intakes the nutrients since where they live native, the soil has no nutrients.

yep!

Oh wowww I kinda figured…. But now I want one🤣🖤 beautiful set up 👍🏼

sarracenia are temperate, so they have to go dormant in the winter with the cold temps. nepenthes are tropical so they stay warm year round. several other kinds of carnivorous plants as well! i got into these over the winter buying a bunch of rhizomes off etsy. most are now waking from dormancy and growing their flowers before the traps come for the season!

Thank bro appreciate it. I’m going to look them up later and might get a purchase

Cool setups!! I haven’t tried carnivorous plants yet but pitcher plants are so cool. My stepmom has a fish pond and she grows them in floating planters
