Venus Flytrap and NA Pitcher plant

Could these two plants be an adequate form of pest control? I am looking into getting some Dionaea muscipula (Venus Flytrap) seeds and some Sarracenia flava (North American Pitcher plant) seeds and growing them.

Carnivorous plants, not only being just amazing and fun to watch, but seem to show potential as pest control.

The visual lures and nectar bribes of the NA Pitcher plant could be used on whiteflys, assassinator wasps, and other flying pests.

While the Venus Flytrap could be used to capture land based pests such as earwigs, mites (all types), aphids, and ants. Anyone else think this may work? I'll end up getting the seeds and growing them up before my next grow either way.

Thoughts?

I think that is a great idea.

Also, the lighting for these two plants and cannabis are not conflicting. The VFT and NA Pitcher are happy with as little as 12 hours of sunlight (the minimum amount need to induce flowering in cannabis). So, whether you are vegging and running a 18/6 schedule or flowering and running a 12/12 schedule, these two plants will be happy as clams. I am looking into some humidity preferences though. VFTs aren't picky from what I can tell, but the pitcher plants are a bit more bratty. I'll keep digging for info.

sounds good. Although i hope you don't have bug issues , It would still be great to keep them around. You'll have to feed em some bugs here and there . I personally like to grow plants in general and i think after reading this thread i will go and buy VFT seeds or pick one up from the store. ! keep me posted

Definitely, I am thinking about redoing my entire grow room with a space specifically for a couple carnivorous plants. On my next grow I'll do a journal and have updates with the carnivorous plants as well.

go to insectlore.com on the left hit plants and at the top there is a kit that comes seeds: Venus Fly Traps, Sundew Plants, Cobra Plants, Hooded Pitcher Plants. cheap and easy.the insect lore is 20 min from my house.

Thanks for the link man, +rep. I will definitely take a look at this.

Hey that is a sweet idea. I have been thinking about getting a couple VFT just cause they make some sweet flowers if you can get them

to flower. But yeah man I deffinently think that it is atleast worth a shot.
