Beautiful, exotic, and surprisingly easy to grow, flesh-eating plants thrive indoors and out, in a wide variety of climates. Whether you're a beginner with your first Venus flytrap or an expert looking for the latest specimen, this book covers everything you need to create and nurture your very own little garden of horrors.
This new edition is fully revised to include the latest developments and discoveries in the carnivorous plant world, making it the most accurate and up to date book of its kind. Now with 48 more pages and lots more photos, mostly taken by our own Damon Collingsworth!
This updated edition covers changes in soil and fertilizer products, water quality updates, advances in artificial lighting, new information on transplanting, pot sizes, and plant grooming, and the many incredible new species of carnivorous plants that have been discovered and hybridized, including a dozen new sun pitchers and over 50 tropical pitcher plants. It also includes the the metric system for our carnivorous plant friends abroad!Drosera capensis is THE perfect beginner's plant! Cape sundews are handsome, dewy plants that are very easy to grow. They will catch gnats, fruit flies, and flies and can easily grow on a sunny kitchen windowsill.
While all carnivorous plants have a voracious appetite, Sarracenia are the most impressive! Their pitchers will fill with wasps, flies and beetles by the end of the summer.
Carnivorous plants require specialized soil that is free of nutrients and minerals. Depending on the species we use a different, custom blended mix. We have all of our soil recipes available in the FAQ!
Venus flytraps are best grown outdoors in most areas, preferring full sun, good airflow and all the hustle and bustle of the outdoors!
