Carnivorous plants have evolved fascinating ways to capture insects, making them some of the most unusual plants to grow at home. Depending on the variety, they may use pitfall traps, sticky surfaces, snap traps or leaves that curl around their prey. These plants need a little more care than typical houseplants, particularly when it comes to water quality, humidity, light and growing medium. Once their growing conditions are understood, carnivorous plants can be rewarding to maintain and endlessly interesting to observe.
