Grow your own carnivore!  This carnivorous "flytrap" plant attracts insects with nectar on the rim of its leaf as well with the leaves' colour and scent. But it's slippery on the rim, so they fall inside, where they are digested by the plant's enzymes. Sarracenia evolved like this so as to survive in acidic, sandy, mineral-poor soils - bogs, seasonally wet grasslands, fire-maintained savannas. Unlike most plants, it doesn't need to be nourished by its soil; it just needs water, heat and insects. Sarracenia flowers in Spring and hibernates in winter (when insects are fewer). Help the seeds grow by cutting the end off a used plastic drinks bottle to use as a bell greenhouse, for heat and humidity.  Sarracenia's lifespan is approximately 20 years under natural conditions.
