Whats the best way to grow carnies indoors?
There are many good ways and the best way depends on which plants you choose to grow and how far you want to go with it. A few Pinquiculas, Oroseras and Venus Fly Traps may fit nicely on a sunny windowsill in individual pots with saucers. If its a cool window in winter and some dormancy is acceptable supplementary lighting may not be needed. Most carnies appreciate higher humidity conditions than most houses provide. A terrarium or a fish tank will take care of this problem – the size depending on the scope of carni ambitions. Plants may be kept in individual pots or the container may be a mass planted as a display. In a mixed planting Sarracenias give height and mass. Droseras and Dichotmas varities add fine texture and Pinquicunlas, smaller Droseras and Venus Fly Traps contribute to the diversity of form and flower. Speaking of flowers we love to use Utricularia, Sandersonii and Livita as they spread through the tank and flower continuously. Driftwood and rocks make a good foundation
