Best Carnivorous Plants for Low-Light North-Facing Windows

Mexican Butterworts and Lance Leaf Sundews

North windows are generally not recommended, but Pinguicula moranensis and Drosera adelae can produce decent growth if the window is large enough to provide ample ambient light. Small north windows may be insufficient.

Experiment for a month; if growth is poor, move the plant to a sunnier window or supplement with a compact fluorescent bulb. For personalized recommendations, try our plant finder at cobraplant.com/bestplants.
