Andrew asked if rainwater collected in northern Virginia is suitable for his 'King Henry' Venus flytrap and Drosera filiformis.
Jeff Dallas confirmed rainwater is excellent for carnivorous plants globally—it contains no minerals. The only risk: treated roofs with moss inhibitors can leach chemicals. Otherwise, open-collected rainwater is perfect.
Good Growing!
