Growing Sarracenia and Venus Flytraps in Hot, Arid Climates: Thousand Oaks, CA

Adaptations for Extreme Heat

These plants tolerate 15% humidity and 100°F. If your conditions exceed that, provide shade during peak noon sun. Use a tall water tray: ¼ pot depth for flytraps, ½ for Sarracenia. A container a few inches taller than the pot traps humidity longer.
