Vicky L Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) Hi there all, I currently have 2 plants - Trumpet pitcher and a Cape Sundew and are doing really well in my conservatory (recently moved in) I did have fish in a large rectangle tank and I'm thinking of creating a Terrarium with it (all of course Carnivorous) I'm of course going to do the usual leg work but after that I will hopefully be able to get the help of fellow Carnivorous plant lovers to help me along in the process :) Don't suppose any tips for starting? As I've already got the plants in a conservatory do I need compensate for the heat levels when I place them them in a Terrarium which will be inside the conservatory? Do I even need a Terrarium if I have the plants in a conservatory? Many thanks : ) Edited June 19, 2020 by Vicky L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Seed Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 Hello and welcome! I grow sundews, Sarracenia, Nepenthes and Heliamphora in a conservatory with no problems - a terrarium isn't necessary for your plants. The sundew would be ok if there is enough light, but the pitcher would probably get grumpy. I suspect they'd both be happier on the windowsill. Is there plenty of sun? The pitcher would prefer 6 hours or more of direct light. You'll need to put it outside for winter so that it can get a proper dormancy, but the sundews can stay inside all year. If you have your heart set on a terrarium, maybe some tropical sundews and/or small nepenthes? Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plantfreak Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 What type of trumpet pitcher? Purpurea, psittacina, rubra, minor, oreophila, flava, alata, or leucophylla? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
