Anyone keep carnivorous plants?

Just wondering if anyone else is keeping any carnivorous plants? I have a small collection of nepenthes, sundews, and sarrencia growing quite well under leds right now. Here's a few pics...

I figured I'd try carnivorous palnts after 75 gallon crashed 3 years ago. I managed to keep some stuff alive from that tank in a 29 gal while I was setting up a new system. These plants really helped my morale. Here's a few more pics...

And for those wondering, no I do not feed bugs to these plants. They catch what they can on their own in my basement. Some do need to be put into dormancy to keep them alive long term.

I used to have all sorts of different species of pitcher plants, but ended up getting rid of them when I moved a couple years ago. This may re-spark my interest

That's a neat setup you have there! Thanks for posting. I really should go through mine and clean it up. It's been a while since I trimmed mine. Some are in desperate need of a re-potting.

Thank you! Got the idea from the net . That dish holding water is siliconed down water tight. The idea is the water permeates through the pot and keeps the soil moist. So far they seem to like it.

Wow! That's a lot of plants! Very cool. Thanks for sharing. I wish I had more room, I'd definately have a greenhouse. Plus, they can only go outside for part of the year as I'm in northern Illinois.

I know a spot in Northern California by Mt Shasta where those tall cobra looking ones grow wild in fields called “cobra fields” I took a start when I was younger but I’m sure that’s highly frowned upon now

I am in the mountains in VA. The sarracenia (pitcher plants), and fly traps can stay outside over winter (Just keep them damp) The other all go into the greenhouse

Neat stuff, I must investigate these plants more.
