In addition, most of our native pitcher plants can even be grown outdoors. However, carnivorous plants have somewhat more exacting requirements than most plants. Carnivorous plants require moist, acidic growing medium, relatively high humidity and bright light. Excellent containers for carnivorous plants include a fish aquarium, a plastic lined whisky barrel, a utility sink, bath tub or any other container that holds water. If you want to grow pitcher plants outdoors, a kids' swimming pool, bathtub or fish pond can be used to make an artificial bog.
Peat moss is notorious for taking forever to saturate with water.
To allow your artificial bog to saturate with water, chemically balance with the water and settle, it's probably a good idea to wait for a few weeks before planting. Most sources recommend carnivorous plant bogs be watered with rain or distilled water. Tap water can be too alkaline or contain too many minerals. When watering bog plants, it's usually best to water in such a way that the soil surface stays relatively dry while the lower layers of peat remain moist. There is usually no need to fertilize carnivorous plants.
