Selecting indoor plants

Gardening is supposed to be hobbies but many have converted into a blooming labor oriented business.The largest group of carnivorous plants are the pitcher plants and one of the largest genera of pitcher plants is the genus Sarracenia. Sarracenias are very exotic, almost alien-looking plants that have unusual leaf shapes and incredible colors. They make excellent garden plants in boggy places such as along the edge of a body of water or in a terrarium. If you are a fan of growing colorful, unusual, meat-eating plants, then Sarracenias are for you.

Whether it's their unique foliage, fabulous flowers, or ability to rid the world of unwanted insect pests, Sarracenias are indeed a wonderful group of plants. While selecting indoor plants one very important thing has to be put into consideration is whether the plant will go in sync with the surrounding, or whether plants will survive in full shade or partially shady atmostphere.The plants that needs partial shade is advisable to be kept near window or spaces which get some part of the day, growth of the plant has to be according to its surrounding, proper water drainage systems to flush excess water to prevent the place from getting slippery and dirty.

Certainly in Brisbane indoor plants like creepers which does not require much water has to be drawn along the wall or the jambs of the window sill. Pitcher plants 'eat' insects by luring them into a specialized, cylindrical leaf (the pitcher) using a combination of nectar, sweet scent, and conspicuous coloration. The pitcher is an amazing structure that is able to catch insects with no moving parts. This method of luring insects with nectar is normally restricted to flowers, but pitcher plants use their leaves as lures.
The insects are forced to walk on a slippery vertical surface in order to get to the nectar. Invariably, they slip and fall down to the bottom of the pitcher into a pool of water.

Pitcher traps are quite effective, thus several distantly related plant families have evolved them at separate times. Pitcher traps are physically the largest of all the carnivorous plant trap mechanisms (some can hold over a liter of water and catch small animals such as frogs or rats). Some pitcher plants are not carnivorous, but are instead detritivores.
