The BEST carnivorous plants to grow indoors in South Africa

Cephalotus follicularis ‘Thomas Carow’ • Albany Pitcher Plant

Best carnivorous plant species to grow in an indoor setting

While most of the more well known carnivorous plant species, such as the infamous venus flytrap, will thrive in an outdoor setting, you can still grow carnivorous plants indoors
Butterworts, bladderworts, albany pitcher plants, sun pitchers, cobra lilies, tropical pitcher plants, some sundew species and seedlings are all fantastic candidates for a sunny windowsill or planted terrarium with artificial lighting
Plants are to receive a minimum of 4-6 hours direct sunlight to grow well. In most cases, a north-facing windowsill is best. Water with distilled water and keep the soil moist by watering every other day (a regular houseplant watering schedule will do just fine)
Supplement natural light with a full spectrum, artificial light to extend the daylight period if needed. In a terrarium with artificial light setting, a minimum of 12-16 hours is recommended
Bring some carnivorous plant magic to your terrarium or an otherwise boring windowsill with these recommendations:
