Carnivorous Plant Update. 6.12.2021

These aare the hardy, perennial carnivores, pitcher plants and a Venus flytrap. They live in 50:50 mix of perlite and peat moss, with the pots in about an inch of water all of the time. I change the water daily or every other day to eliminate mosquitoes. This has worked nicely for several years, and grown out of two sets of repotting. So Imrepotted them yesterday. This is the most the pitcher plants (Sarracenia) have bloomed. Very lovely and unique flowers.

The plant in the top photo was a seedling that germinated in a container of Nepenthes.   I potted it up on its own, now three years old.  The others are all commercial hybrids (Sarracenia NW).
