What Carnivorous Plant Will Grow The Tallest In An Apartment


Question
Hi, I love tall and big plants. What carnivorous plant would grow the biggest & tallest in an apartment setting. I live in a high-rise building. I get a lot of sun. I like my plants to grow big & tall. I have no terrace or garden. Thanks.

Answer

Nepenthes edwardsiana
Most carnivorous plants are fairly small, but there are several Heliamphora and Nepenthes species that grow fairly large, scramble upward almost like a vine, and enjoy lots of sun. Nepenthes (a tropical pitcher plant) are more common and more easily available, and arguably easier to grow, so I would recommend them.

To find a Nepenthes you might like, you might browse several Internet carnivorous plant forums and ask questions of the many growers who are members of the forums--

And you can browse photos of various Nepenthes by using the CP (carnivorous plant) photo finder, here--

Best wishes and happy growing!
