Hi Guys
My name is Hazel and i have 3 venus fly traps, a sundew and a pitcher plants. I live in Manchester in the UK. So far the plants have lived on a south facing windowsill. I have put them outside during the day a couple of times but have been bringing them in at night. Would they be ok left outside?? I would be grateful for any advice.

Only place they should be is outside.

They are as far away from a house plant that you can get.

Mistakes were made

As long as it's not below freezing, outside is the best place for them.

I grow outside in Cornwall here, but up North i would put a cloche over them if kept outside in the colder months.
