Carnivorous Plant Terrarium

[Margot]

Hi there, my name is Margot, I once had an account here but apparently is not possible to sign in using Google anymore (?).

I am the proud mama of a Pinguicula x Tina since September, it went through dormancy just fine and now it looks like the rosette split into two and the foliage is slowly growing back to its "predator" size. 

Taking advantage of the marvellous spring the UK is going through this year, and the spare time I have staying at home, I wanted to challenge my gardening skills and try to build a carnivore dome terrarium. 

However, knowing that carnivore plants in particular are extremely sensitive and different varieties of the same species may have completely different needs, I would prefer to rely on your expertise to assure which plants might thrive well in the same conditions as the Tina and also in a highly humid environment such as a terrarium. I had a look for a couple of new additions that I might be interested in, for instance another Mexican Butterwort (agnata/martinezii), possibly a Sundew (admirabilis/nitidula)... could these hybrid be okay for my idea? Any other that might live well in a terrarium? 

(...Hopefully not Venus Flytraps, I've had a series of sad experiences with them )

Thank you guys for the help!

I've done some terrariums - although not often containing carns.  For ones in the house you need species that will cope with constant year round temperature  (which rules out VFT as these and others need a cool dormancy) .  I cant comment on drosera as I don't grow many inside, but most Mexican pings will be fine with house temps. 

Watch that sunlight doesn't 'cook' the insides if you're putting it close to a window.  If using artificial light then keep the levels close to what it gets in nature (roughly 12/12) and you should find your Mexican pings love it.

Mexican pings in constant high humidity and temperature tends to skip dormancy and flower less.
