A new gardening question of the day appears every day of the year on the front page of Almanac.com. Below is the answer to one of the questions from our Gardening Questions and Answers Archive where you can find over 400 more gardening questions (with answers!).
Can I grow carnivorous plants in my garden?
Most carnivorous plants require humid conditions (50 percent or higher) in the summer and no hard freezes in the winter. A backyard bog may be one way to develop an environment for carnivorous plants, which prefer the same conditions as the wild habitats in which they usually grow. A bog may mimic this, or you might try growing something carnivorous in a terrarium or greenhouse. They are not easy to grow, so don't be discouraged.
