http://www.athelasplants.co.uk/rss/1/productlistings/carnivorous-plants/cat11 <p>We have a couple of varieties of very clever and cunning carnivorous plants. The first one is the iconic 'Venus fly Trap' (Dionaea muscipula), and a number of 'Pitcher Plants' (Sarracenia). Both very effective non-chemical means of dealing with flies, wasps, weevils and other unwanted creepy crawlies. Infact the Sarracenia purpurea is also rather adept a catching slugs.</p> <p>Both the Pitcher plants and the Venus Flytrap ideally should not be watered with tap water as accumulated salts in tap water may kill carnivorous plants. Don't feed them either as they receive their nutrients from their unsuspecting victims.</p> Copyright 2012 Athelas Exotic Plant Nursery en Fri, 13 Jan 2012 20:43:28 +0000 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 20:43:28 +0000 Thu, 18 Aug 2011 09:41:08 +0100 <a href="http://www.athelasplants.co.uk/carnivorous-plants-c11/sarracenia-hybrid-p107"><img src="http://www.athelasplants.co.uk/images/products/thumbnails/1273090126-43337400.jpg" alt="Sarracenia hybrid" /></a> <p><a href="http://www.athelasplants.co.uk/carnivorous-plants-c11/sarracenia-hybrid-p107">Sarracenia hybrid</a></p> <p> Common Name: Pitcher Plant Situation: Full sun/Part sun, Moist soils Hardiness: Hardy Eventual Height and Spread: 0.8m x 0.5m </p> http://www.athelasplants.co.uk/carnivorous-plants-c11/sarracenia-hybrid-p107 http://www.athelasplants.co.uk/carnivorous-plants-c11/sarracenia-hybrid-p107 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 20:43:28 +0000 <a href="http://www.athelasplants.co.uk/carnivorous-plants-c11/sarracenia-purpurea-p106"><img src="http://www.athelasplants.co.uk/images/products/thumbnails/1273089722-66677500.jpg" alt="Sarracenia purpurea" /></a> <p><a href="http://www.athelasplants.co.uk/carnivorous-plants-c11/sarracenia-purpurea-p106">Sarracenia purpurea</a></p> <p> Common Name: Pitcher Plant Situation: Full sun/Part sun, Moist soils Hardiness: Hardy Eventual Height and Spread: 0.8m x 0.5m </p> http://www.athelasplants.co.uk/carnivorous-plants-c11/sarracenia-purpurea-p106 http://www.athelasplants.co.uk/carnivorous-plants-c11/sarracenia-purpurea-p106
