webwise webwise Gardener Registered: 02/24/07 Posts: 151 Loc: Scarborough. U.K.	Can someone tell me why this is in house plants? Most insectivores live outside in bog gardens. Venus fly traps might be famous but they aren't real plants. Not like sarracenia, darlingtonia, nepenthes etc. _________________________ John All of us are lying in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

I wasn't really annoyed (well not very) but exotics are my thing and I was a bit afraid I would be classed with my Aunt Gladys with her aspidistra in the corner. LOL. Suppose you'll get a few teething problems. _________________________ John All of us are lying in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

I don't risk my nepenthes, I lift them in early November from the bog and put them under glass (with no heating) until April but everything else just stays outside all year. The Darlingtonias particularly have to have a cold spell for dormancy and sarracenias certainly don't mind a couple of months sleep. _________________________ John All of us are lying in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.

Of coarses they are. There ARE some carnivorous plants that HAVE to be inside before first frost, such as Sundews and Neps for instance.

littlelizard littlelizard Gardener Registered: 03/22/07 Posts: 182 Loc: west virginia	Of course the venues fly trap is a real plant ,it needs light,water,soil and don't forget love.You can still find them growing wild in the southern parts of the appalachian mountains.Some I've seen growing as far north as virginia.
