I took my houseplants out for some rain today, thought I’d share a few pics. The pitcher plant terrarium is about a year old. Today is the first time I’ve watered it since planting. It seems to thrive on fungus gnats! This species is native and hardy, believe it or not.
I had pitcher plants before, and didn’t know it’s hardy. good to know. How Hardy it is?
To zone 3, I think. Look up Sarracenia purpurea.
SC has a lot of carnivorous plants growing wild. In our swampy area we have lots of small sundew plants and I have seen some pitcher plants in the past. The Venus flytrap is a little north of us at the SC/NC border never seen one in the wild.

your staghorns are intense.
worth a bit of a fortune–even when buying in the tropics!
Just $6 each at the greenhouse, nothing crazy!
good for you! i see them being sold online at higher prices. I guess those are the bigger ones.
