About this product

Product Information

For centuries, carnivorous plants have carried an air of fascination and mystique unparalleled in the plant world. Growing Carnivorous Plants is a comprehensive guide to identifying and cultivating these remarkable plants. From the well-known Venus flytrap to obscure African sundews, from the giant pitcher plant vines of Borneo the microscopic bladderworts of Florida, more than 200 species, hybrids and cultivars from all genera of carnivorous plants are described. Included are explanations of the fascinating and diverse mechanisms the plants use to trap their victims. Imitating a plant's natural environment is the key to success in growing carnivorous plants, and this book will help readers select the best plants to grow on a windowsill, in a terrarium or greenhouse. Information on how to feed carnivorous plants will enable even the most squeamish grower to ensure that plants receive the nutrients they require. The book's 400 photographs include both spectacular images from the wild and lovely plants in cultivation.

  • I wish there was a rating above "Excellent"!

    I love this book! This is THE BOOK for growing, learning about, and enjoying beautiful pictures of carnivorous plants. Written by one of the greatest names in carnivorous plant horticulture, and a co-founder of the International Carnivorous Plant Society and editor of the society's newsletter, Barry A. Rice, this book could stand alone as a person's complete carnivorous plant dictionary. It goes into extensive detail of these amazing plants' evolution, habitats, animal and insect interactions, cultivation and propagation, and how these plants can be sensibly conserved in situ, both through being a conscientious collector and grower, and through conservation societies and wetland conservation programs. This book, not being just a simple information source, is also packed with the most ...
