Getting started

15 years ago

Ok I finally conviced my mom to buy me a carnevorus plant kit today. I am really exited because i have wanted one since 2nd grade but i am also very nervous. I would like to keep it in my room. I would like to know how to do the lighting the humidity temperature ect. Thanks for any help.

Most CPs need to be outside in full sun during the growing season, these are NOT indoor plants. The exceptions are Nepenthis and Sundews. They can go in a east of west window. Use rain or distilled water ONLY. NO fertilzer.
