How to Care for Carnivorous Plants:
Use rainwater or distilled water – Tap water can harm them!
Keep them in bright, indirect light (or a sunny windowsill).
Avoid fertilising – These plants get their nutrients from insects.
Keep the soil moist but not soggy – A tray of water underneath works best.
Pro Tip: No bugs around? Occasionally, feed them dried insects (like mealworms) to keep them happy!
