Pitcher plants are carnivorous plants that grow in bog conditions where they trap insects using their upright tubular leaves. Carnivorous plants need to be constantly damp and if grown in a pot then they need to stand in a dish of about 1cm of water all the time. They must have very bright light and do well on a sunny windowsill. Sarracenias will not tolerate hard water and should be watered with rain water or soft water.
