Sarracenia

Pitcher plant is not a pitcher plant. It is the name of a genus. There are 9 species and many subspecies, variants and artificially cultivated varieties under the genus.
Maintenance points: 1. Water and fertilizer management: It is best to use sphagnum moss, or you can use peat + a small amount of perlite (granular soil), or you can use a cultivation medium made of a mixture of sand and peat soil. It is best to replace the retreat every spring. 2. Temperature management: The temperature required by Pitcher plant in summer should be between 21 and 35 degrees Celsius. 3. Humidity management: Pitcher plants need an extremely humid environment to grow normally. The air humidity must be at least around 70%. You can sprinkle water around the pitcher plants every day to increase the humidity. 4. Light management: There should be 6 to 8 hours of sunlight every day.

Pinguicula

The Pinguecula is a mucus-type carnivorous plant that can catch small insects such as mosquitoes and ants. It has glandular hairs on the back of its leaves, flower stems and petals. The tips of the glandular hairs can secrete a kind of odorous mucus to attract insects.
1. For watering, use the immersion pot method. After the surface of the Pinguicrap is dry, place it in a pot filled with water for maintenance. Do not spray water to avoid diluting the mucus on the leaves. 2. Light: It likes bright light and can tolerate partial shade. It needs to be shaded at noon in summer. 3. Temperature. The suitable growth temperature is 20~30 degrees. 4. Humidity: maintain a high air humidity and sprinkle water on the ground around it every morning and evening.

Nepenthes

Pitcher plants prefer semi-shaded environments, so never expose them to direct sunlight. Just keep it indoors for maintenance.

Venus Flytrap

1. Water: Try to use soft water such as purified water, rain water, etc. Place the Venus flytrap pot in a tray or glass tank, fill it with about 3 cm of water, and add water regularly. 2. Humidity: It needs to maintain a high humidity to survive. You can add a layer of sphagnum moss on the surface of the pot, or you can keep the pot immersed for a long time. 3. Soil: Mix perlite and peat in a ratio of 1:1, or use pure sphagnum moss, and put broken tiles at the bottom of the pot. Change the soil every spring. 4. Temperature: The suitable growth temperature is 21-35℃. 5. Feeding: They will hunt by themselves. Don’t throw them a piece of meat or something. Just let them eat mosquitoes quietly.

Sundew

Sundew is a large category of carnivorous plants. There are crystal clear "dewdrops" on the leaves. Under the sunlight, it is dazzling. Therefore, many people like to grow a pot of it.
1. Light: Sundew likes light, so it is best to place it in a place with good light, but it should be shaded at noon in summer~ 2. Sundew likes moisture very much. Except for winter, it should be cultivated in a pot in other seasons, and the water in the pot should not be cut off~ 3. Sundew will hibernate when the temperature is higher than 30 degrees, so it is better for flower lovers in the south to grow it indoors~

Rainbow Grass

Rainbow grass is a relatively rare carnivorous plant of the genus Drosera. Its technique of catching insects is similar to that of Drosera, and it also relies on the mucus of glandular hairs to catch insects. However, unlike Drosera, the adhesion of rainbow grass is stronger, and its glandular hairs do not swing. 1. The light must be good, full sunlight is best. If this condition is not available, bright scattered light is also fine ~ but shade must be provided at noon in summer! 2. Watering: Use the immersion pot method, and the water in the pot should always be kept at one-half position. But don't spray water on the leaves frequently to avoid diluting the mucus, but you can spray water on the ground nearby! 3. Support: When rainbow grass grows taller, you can use flower racks, wire, thin bamboo, etc. to support it to prevent the plant from falling over.
