Carnivorous Plants Tips

Tips for growing and caring for carnivorous plants

Carnivorous plants are no more difficult to grow at home than other plants. Growing conditions vary between different varieties, but by following the few tips we are going to give you, you will succeed in growing your carnivorous plants in harmony with other plants, and without any more constraints.

Best practices with your carnivorous plants

  • Check carefully whether it is advisable to grow the plants you are interested in indoors or outdoors (depending on the recommended temperatures).
  • Plan to use exclusively rainwater, demineralized or reverse osmosis . Water that is too hard will cause a carnivorous plant to die in a few weeks.
  • Repot your plants with the substrate (growing soil) recommended in the growing advice associated with each species ( sphagnum , blond peat , mixture for carnivorous plants , etc.).



Practices to avoid with your carnivorous plants

  • Do not spray your carnivorous plants, except Nepenthes.
  • Do not use bottled water : it generally contains too many mineral salts, and the roots of carnivorous plants are not designed to absorb them.
  • Do not fertilize your carnivorous plants, except Nepenthes and Heliamphora, in the absence of insects.
  • Do not use horticultural soil to repot your carnivorous plants.
