Care

General Maintenance:  Pitcher plants do very well as terrarium plants, but can also be kept as a regular houseplant as long as they are given an environment with adequate humidity.

Temperature: Thrives in normal household temperatures, between 16º-21º Celsius.   Keep away from drafts and drastic temperature changes.

Light:  Bright filtered to partial sun is ideal to keep this plant thriving.  It can tolerate direct sun, but too much may cause the tips to brown.  This plant will not thrive in low light.

Watering:  Water as needed to keep the growing medium moist, but not soggy.  Pitcher plants thrive in high humidity environments, and do not like to dry out.  They are also more sensitive to chemicals in comparison to other tropical plants, so if possible you should use diluted or rain water.

Soil:  Pitcher plants do best in a mixture of perlite and phagnum moss.  They require an extremely well draining  growing medium.  Avoid general potting mixes, as they are too rich for these plants.

Fertilizer:  Fertilize once every 4-6 weeks, with orchid fertilizer diluted to half strength, during the spring and summer months.  Pitcher plants get their nutrients from the insects that they catch in their pitchers, and they only need a few insects each month.  If there are none around naturally, you can place a freshly killed insect into the pitcher.  But be careful not to overfeed, as carnivorous plants very low nutrient needs.

2nd grade son's favorite book of all time!
Format: Paperback
So this is not classic children's literature with beautifully written passages a la The Velveteen Rabbit. This IS, however, the only book my 7 year old son has read repeatedly (6 times?) and BEGGED me to buy so that we would have our own copy when it was time to return it to the library. Santa brought him 3 gifts this year- a Cozmo robot, a drone, and this book- they were all displayed together. Guess which one elicited the first scream? "Sparks!!! Santa brought me Sparks!!!" This comic book is not Shakespeare for children but the story is creative and FUNNY, the illustrations are great, and boy does it keep my kids' attention (my 4th grade daughter also loves it, though not to the obsessive extent of my boy). Get it- your child will love it. This is not a book for YOU to read aloud- this is for the child to read on his/her own. So when The Wind in the Willows has them yawning, hand them this instead.

My son loved these books!
Format: Paperback
We found this book at the library. I was struggling to have my 7 year old read a book he was interested in. He started reading this and couldn't put it down. We bought the other two and he flew through reading them. He laughed and said it was such a good book that I need to read it. We have a pet cat named August so that was what peaked his interest and he loved that!

Wonderful book for all ages!
Format: Paperback
What a delightful book this is! So far I have ordered one for myself...and one for an 8 year old grandson. My 11 year old grandson has borrowed my copy, and so far I don't have it back, so I'll be needing to purchase another one! The story is funny and heartwarming and wonderfully original. The drawing is perfect for the characters and settings, all enhanced by the marvelous and vivid color. Buy this book! Everyone you know will appreciate it!

10 year old reluctant reader LOVES THIS BOOK!!!!
Format: Paperback
I'm constantly trying to find books to tempt my 10yr old reluctant reader. He LOVES this book!! He has been reading it outloud to our dogs, and at several points I could hear him absolutely cracking up. The artwork is fantastic, the plot is hilarious. Honestly I'm enjoying it as much as my son (and the dogs!). Yesterday he had a friend over.... and instead of making a beeline for the xbox as usual.... my son said, "let me show you my new book" and proceeds to read a particularly funny portion outloud. Both boys laughing. Truly, 5 stars. (PS author, please say you've already started the second installment??)

Amusing cartoons
Format: Paperback
So two cats create a mechanical dog suit to fight crime and, in the end, save the planet. Mostly fun times, although there are some stretches of credulity in the overall story. Generally fun, however.
