Care guides
The same advice we give at shows, written down. Carnivorous plants aren't hard — most just need sun, pure water, and to be left outside. Here's how we grow each genus.
Sarracenia Care
Sarracenia · North American Pitcher PlantFull sun, wet feet, low-mineral water, and a real winter — get those four right and Sarracenia are nearly unkillable.
Venus Flytrap Care
Dionaea · Venus FlytrapTreat it like a tiny Sarracenia — full sun outdoors, low-mineral water, and winter dormancy. Not a houseplant, and don't poke the traps.
Cephalotus Care
Cephalotus · Albany Pitcher PlantBright light, an open mineral mix, and patience — Cephalotus is slow but far tougher than its reputation.
Heliamphora Care
Heliamphora · Sun Pitcher PlantBright light, under 80°F, mineral substrate, and constant moisture — how we grow the tepui pitchers here at the nursery.
Mexican Pinguicula Care
Pinguicula · Mexican ButterwortThe care sheet that ships with every Ping Rock — light, water, and the winter succulent phase explained.
