Can I grow carnivorous plants in my garden?
Answer
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.
