Meat-eating bog plants
don't grow in the Midwest, right?
Sarracenia purpurea does!
The "pitcher plant" likes soil to be water logged, nutrient poor, and highly acidic.
Give it good soil, fertilizer, and mineral enriched water, and you just might kill this rugged little carnivore.
For potted plants, use distilled water or rainwater. Above all, keep it... dare I say this...
moist
at all times.
I'm a little concerned about the spider that lived among these plants, eating other little bugs. Haven't seen new webs, or the spider, for days. Is it possible the plant ate my little spider?
Here is the color version
It's good to keep plants moist, especially if they're a gift. ^_^
Somebody is gonna keep you moist, you sadist!
Woah those are freaky cool plants!
Keep it moist, unless it dies D:
Haha
Why is it black and white. Life is colorful, dont forget it
MONOMAD photo prompt calls for B&W, no?

Where does this plant live?
In my house, until summer comes, and back into the pond it goes. Zone 4 is too cold for a Zone 6 plant. It's native to the East coast, USA.
He's baaaaaack!
Today my spider friend resurfaced!
