Peter D'Amato's award winning guide on how to grow carnivorous plants is hands-down the most comprehensive guide and the number one bestselling bible to these fascinating oddities.

This new edition is fully revised to include the latest developments and discoveries in the carnivorous plant world, making it the most accurate and up to date book of its kind.  Now with 48 more pages and lots more photos, mostly taken by our own Damon Collingsworth!

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!
This book is a great gift for anyone new to the hobby or if you are interested in learning more about the different species of carnivorous plants.

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.
