My pitcher plants are thriving outside. We also have less wasps at the moment. Coincidence? No.

Interesting, I take it you planted these for this purpose?
I might try this next year if these are easy to find.

I got them as they are weird and I always wanted to see if I could grow them. Turns out the ones I have are actually pretty easy to care for. They need a lot of light and are fine with the temperatures we have outside during the summer. They come inside into a sunny window for the winter. Their ability to actually catch a bunch of things is a big bonus. You can pick up some small ones from Lowe's/Rona whatever it is now. Give them the right conditions and they will grow pretty fast. I got some of mine, the bigger ones, from a speciality store in Quebec and one nearby in Kingston. Rose Cafe in Drummondville has a big selection of carnivorous plants and also lots of other things. The store at the botanical gardens in Montreal has some too. I know there’s a couple of stores in the GTA that specialize in these as well.

I have some other plants as well such as saracenia and drosera. These are a bit different. The only one I’m having an issue with is a Venus fly trap.

Edit: the vining pitcher plants are called Nepenthes. There’s lowland and highland ones. I have the easier ones to look after.

Found another supplier with a special on for September. No idea how much shipping is and a lot of stuff is out of stock.
