carnivorous

While carnivorous plants’ alien appearance and brutal nature may seem hostile, they are distinctive and remarkable additions to a home or garden. Carnivores’ many trap styles and vibrant colors attract human attention as well as the insects they rely on. Try a tall, structured pitcher plant or the lower profile of a flytrap to catch both eyes and flies in your home. Carnivorous plants naturally grow in nutrient-poor soils, so they'll need a specialized mix to thrive in your space (try a 1:1 ratio of sand to peat moss, with plenty of drainage).
