# Any suggestions for absolute beginner carnivorous plants? I'm pretty…

Any suggestions for absolute beginner carnivorous plants? I'm pretty good at most plants but I've never tried one of these before and would like to start with something durable. I'd likely put it in a terrarium shared with high-humidity species if that helps

Cape sundews are pretty much indestructible, they’re what I started off with!

That one looks so cool! And after looking into care a bit, that's going to be a great companion for some of the other species I'm planning for the terrarium. It'll fit in perfectly 😊

Mexican Butterwort has been super easy for me

Venus Fly Traps are easy, but they can’t live in a terrarium
