• Light

    Full outdoor sunlight, commercial grow lights can be used but not recommended long term. (Rule of thumb: If you can grow tomatoes, that same light can sustain carnivorous plants)

  • Soil

    50/50 Peat Moss to Perlite (Or sand)

  • Water

    Rain or distilled water ONLY! Planting media must stay moist at all times. If they dry, they die. Sitting in a tray/dish of water ⅓ up the pot is recommended.

  • Feeding/Fertilizer

    No fertilizer in the soil! Using fertilizer in the soil will kill the plant. If plants are kept outdoors, they will catch the food they need.

  • Pests

    Pesky bugs can be an issue on any plant. If pests are present, imidacloprid or acephate are the go to systemic pestacides.

  • Fungal Issue

    Sulfur is the easiest on the plants and safe to use. Can be used to prevent powdery mildew or other light fungal issues. Thiophanate-methyl is a systemic that can be used for larger fungal issues.
