I have been growing Drosera for a while now and I want to start growing Sarracenia and Darlingtonia Californica. I have done some research and I am pretty sure I would be able to grow them outside during the summer. I have some questions though. So I was on the ICPS website and I was reading about Cobra Lilies... from what I understand, Cobra Lilies are "insensitive to soil nutrients" and thats how they survive in the wild. Would I be able to give them regular hose water, or do I still have to give them distilled water?

Thanks,
Adrian

They're sensitive to a lot of minerals, so distilled would be better. I don't think they're as sensitive as other carnivorous plants but they still do require low TDS to be healthy.
