A fascinating carnivorous plant
Pitcher plant is a carnivorous plant that attracts insects thanks to its colorful urns filled with digestive fluid. The insects slide in and are then digested, allowing the plant to supplement its nutrient needs.
This plant enjoys high humidity, soft light and a warm atmosphere. Like some tropical hanging plants like the Wax Plant, it can be grown in height. It is very appreciated for its unique and educational aspect.
