Question
In case I want to make composition from the carnivorous plants (e.g., Pitcher Plants, Venus Flytrap) can I plant different species together in relatively small pot? Are the carnivorous plants friendly to their neighbors or aggressive, suppressive?

Answer
Hello Jogaila,

Many carnivorous plants can be grown together quite easily. If you are going to do so, use a large pot to give each plant a little growing room of a couple inches between them so each can get plenty of light and root space. Make sure the species of plants you grow together are similar in their soil, light, and watering needs so they will all survive in the same place equally well. For instance, you would not want to place a Venus Flytrap with a Nepenthes or a Sarracenia with an Australian Lance Leaf Sundew. Tropicals belong with tropicals, temperates with temperates. If you want to grow Venus Flytraps with Sarracenia Pitcher Plants and North American species of Sundews that would be just fine. You might want to create a dome on one side of the pot for the Venus Flytraps and plant the Sarracenias on the lower side as Sarracenias like to be closer to water than Flytraps.

These plants often grow together in nature. Venus Flytraps have been found growing with small sundews and some species of Sarracenias naturally. They cannot harm one another except for larger plants covering up the smaller ones and taking up all the sunlight.
