Will these carnivorous plants grow together well?

I live in Florida, and I'm about to order the following carnivorous plants:


1 Venus Fly Trap


1 Trumpet Pitcher plant


1 Purple Pitcher Plant


1 Cape Sundew


1 Forked Sundew


1 Yellow Butterwort


1 Pink Butterwort.








Most of these grow together in the southern US, so I'm thinking they will grow together. I want to put them all in a 9'' round pot. They won't over crowd each other or anything, right?

Yes you can get most of those plants growing in Florida But Pitcher plants grow very vigerously so you will need a larger pot - you will also need the right soil 50% peat 50% sand would do but go to http://www.sunbelleexotics.com for sarracenia grown in Florida with advice - with the butterworts make sure you have got the proper name for there are many different types of both colour many which do not grow in your conditions


but I think you mean by Yellow Butterwort Pinguicula lutea and by Pink Pinguicula caerulea which both grow in Florida. The Cape Sundew Grows in South Africa and so will be able to grow easily (they grow like a weed) the Forked Sundews grow in New Zealand and so would also grow in your climate
Reply:Yes - I would think they would grow well together. However, I think I'd put that many ina bigger pot, or possibly in a terrarium. All those plants require a lot of humidity, and a lot of water, and a terrarium will help control humidity much better. Maybe check on Craig's List to see if you can located a cheap or free used aquarium.
Reply:Hello there. The venus Flytrap and the Pitcher plants are North American carnivorous plants and would do great outdoors in Florida. The two sundews are tropical plants and are best grown on a window sill. I'm not sure about the two Butterworts. Go to http://www.cobraplant.com/cmd.php?af-385... and check out the "Go Fetch Spike" option. All you have to do is type in your state and whether you want to grow your plants indoors or out, and it will spit out a list of plants for you. Those pitcher plants will do really well in your climate. You may also want to try some Nepenthes also.
Reply:I think you may be safer with a 12" pot. I am only familiar with a couple of the plants that you mentioned, and they are fairly small and slow growing, but I think that if you don't want to worry about replanting them again anytime soon that a 12" pot would be best. You can get one that is more shallow than traditional pots of this size so it doesn't look so huge. You probably won't need a ton of space for the root systems.
