Question
Can I feed my cp's mealworms,mainly Neps and Sarracenia? Thanks

Answer
Hi Leon,

Yes, Sarracenia and Nepenthes will both digest mealworms.  Just be careful not to engorge the pitchers with too much mealworms, otherwise you'll end up with a rotting mealworm and brown pitchers.  Make sure the mealworm will easily fit into the pitcher.  One per plant per month is sufficient.  

Keep in mind that Sarracenia are outdoor plants, and they're likely going dormant at this time of the year.  Never feed a plant while it's dormant.

For more information about growing Nepenthes and Sarracenia, watch our video podcast for November:

Good growing!
