Hi, I was wondering if anybody had grown Carnivorous Plants in their greenhouse. Venus Fly Traps and Pitcher Plants etc. Would they be a benefit?
Kind Regards......Rob

Drosera and another sundew catch quite a few small gnats in my GH. The drosera self seed easily.
Also have three pitchers and a venus flytrap. Not sure what they trap.Riddlesdown (S Croydon) -
You'd have to ensure that they stay damp enough on scorching hot days in the greenhouse.Comment

They should thrive, but don't rely on them for pest control. The biggest issue I had with the sarracenia was that they kept eating the bumble bees.
I keep my carnivores outside in a bog garden.
Our England is a garden, and such gardens are not made
By singing-'Oh how beautiful!" and sitting in the shade,
While better men than we go out and start their working lives
At grubbing weeds from gravel paths with broken dinner-knives. ~ Rudyard KiplingComment
