❓❗ Why grow carnivorous plants in terrariums — and not just in pots?

Therese from Cultivo Carnivores with seed-grown Venus flytraps — expert advice for growing carnivorous plants in terrariums, savage gardens & low-maintenance indoor ecosystems

💬 Carnivorous plants aren’t just way cooler than regular houseplants — they’re next-level awesome. But because they grow in special soil, have different needs and growing conditions and don’t like tap water, they usually need their own pots… or do they?

Now picture this: ever seen a beautiful fish tank? Take out the fish, add plants — and boom, you’ve got a terrarium. Now, add carnivorous plants and suddenly you’ve created a full-blown savage garden — a striking indoor jungle that’s low-maintenance, dramatic and seriously fun!

Terrariums boost humidity, reduce watering and look incredible. But here’s the secret: you’re not just throwing plants into a glass box — you’re designing a thriving, functional ecosystem, with the kind of insider know-how that helps you get it right from the start

From choosing the right species to designing the ultimate living centerpiece, that’s exactly what we cover in our Terrarium Masterclasses
The result? A self-sustaining masterpiece that you built with your own hands — it not only looks A-MA-ZING but practically takes care of itself.... Yep, you can even go on holiday!
