This updated edition covers changes in soil and fertilizer products, water quality updates, advances in artificial lighting, new information on transplanting, pot sizes, and plant grooming, and the many incredible new species of carnivorous plants that have been discovered and hybridized, including a dozen new sun pitchers and over 50 tropical pitcher plants.  It also includes the the metric system for our carnivorous plant friends abroad!

Great book full of useful information. All plants were packaged professionally and super securely. Made the trip across the country in perfect condition. Cannot recommend California carnivores enough. They will get all my business in the future

Must read

Very informative book that occasionally shows its age (2013). I have already learned lots of tips that I will be implementing for my growing collection of carnivorous plants.
