Carnivorous arrangement
Bright, indirect light to full sun depending on species; a south-facing windowsill is often ideal.
Keep soil consistently damp using rainwater or distilled water; never let it dry out.
Do not feed fertilizer; carnivorous plants get nutrients from insects.
Repot annually in early spring using fresh carnivorous plant compost.
Description
A carnivorous arrangement typically features a mix of insect-eating plants like Venus flytraps, pitcher plants, and sundews. These unique indoor plants are not only fascinating to observe but also help control small insects, making them great conversation starters for bright kitchens, windowsills, and terrariums.
PLANTING
- Use a mix of sphagnum moss and sand or perlite.
- Avoid regular potting soil.
PLANT CARE
- Maintain high humidity.
- Avoid touching traps and keep in shallow trays of water.
VERVE RECOMMENDS
- Use only rainwater or distilled water—tap water can harm the plants.
- Keep soil moist at all times.
- Provide as much bright light as possible.
- Never fertilise—let them catch their own food.
- Avoid triggering traps unnecessarily to prevent stress.
