carnivours plants require living in an acidic NITROGEN FREE soil, or wetland.
there natural habitats are places where nitrogen is low enough that most normal plants wouldnt survive.
this is why they eat meat, they get all of there nuterients from the bugs etc that they catch and eat.
if you are trying to grow these plants in an aquarium with fish or whatever, they will naturally die due to the fact that they are getting way way way way way too much nitrogen/nitrates etc.
i used to grow these when i was younger and did a bunch of research on them.
i have this wicked badass book that gives you information on each type, its growing conditions and everything needed to care for whatever plant your reading up on.
i can give some info on VFT's if interested.
