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!

Excellent condensed encyclopedia.

Catalogue, Encyclopedia and soon to be worn out reference book. This is the information one should have before making purchases to know the environmental needs of each plant for successful longevity. A wealth of knowledge with superb pictures to tweak one’s interest. It has helped me make better decisions of what species work for me in my locale. A “must have” to aid in the enjoyment of these unique plants.

Great book full of useful information. All plants were packaged professionally and super securely. Made the trip across the country in perfect condition. Cannot recommend California carnivores enough. They will get all my business in the future
