  i love nature

  a plant can evolve to survive in soil without any nutrients by becoming carnivorous, but rain? that’s a step too far buddy

  also reminds me of lurking in the magic mushroom growing subreddit, in the wild those mushrooms can grow on literal cow shit, but in people’s homes they die if their rice is not sterile enough

    Afaik there aren’t any carnivorous plants that can be killed with rainwater. It’s much more likely that they were out where the sprinkler could get them (hard water, chlorine, etc will kill carnivorous plants). Never, ever water carnivorous plants with tap water.

  Were they outside where the sprinkler could hit them? I can’t imagine they were killed by rainwater; I used to have a lot of carnivorous plants and rainwater was an ideal water source along with distilled water. If they were hit by the sprinkler though, that could kill them, especially if you have hard water.

    I’m not sure, it was my mother’s, not mine.
