Carnivorous Plant Care Instructions

Congratulations on owning your own Carnivore! Your pet is one of over 600 species of carnivorous plants. Although these plants can be found all across the world, many are native only to the U.S., mostly in the Southeast.  These fascinating plants have adapted to survive and thrive in low nutrient soils.  Their insect prey is used to provide vital nitrogen to help the plant grow.

Your pet can live for over ten years if you take good care of it. Be sure to read the simple instruction provided with your plant and follow them carefully.  This site provides more detailed instructions and information about your pet. There is also a Frequently Asked Questions board that may help with common concerns.  Email us (care@mycarnivore.com) if you have any questions or need help with your plant.  We will gladly provide personal attention to your precious pet.

Please select your type of plant from the left menu for detailed care instructions

CARE TIP #14:  If you are leaving on vacation, try placing a little cup of water in the closed cage to keep the air and soil moist while he or she is not watered.  This will keep the plant wet enought for you to go two weeks without watering your little friend.
