Cultivation Guide

Cultivating carnivorous plants is equal parts science, patience, and wonder. These unique species have evolved to thrive in nutrient-poor environments by trapping and digesting insects, which means they often have very specific needs when it comes to soil, water, and light. But don’t be intimidated—whether you’re growing sticky Drosera, dramatic Nepenthes, or the deceptively delicate Pinguicula, understanding their natural habitats is the key to keeping them happy at home. This guide will walk you through the basics of care, species-specific tips, and how to troubleshoot common problems, so you can grow your own collection of living bug-catchers with confidence.
