Plant friends, did you know your houseplants can double as pest control? Carnivorous plants don’t just survive—they hunt. Venus flytraps can snap down on unsuspecting flies, while pitcher plants lure bugs into their slippery traps. These carnivorous plants themselves are nature’s own pest management system.

So I’ve brought on a guest who knows everything there is to know about them: Kenny Coogan, the head of education at the International Carnivorous Plant Society.

Kenny has been growing carnivorous plants for about 20 years, and about five years ago, he joined the ICPS as the education director. He quit his day job and turned his passion into his profession, running a carnivorous plant nursery in Florida. As he puts it, "Carnivorous plants are my life."

In this episode, we learn:

  • [01:47] What’s not to love about carnivorous plants?
  • [04:52] Who is Kenny?
  • [08:01] Some facts about Venus flytraps

  • [12:54] Where do we find carnivorous plants outdoors?
  • [15:36] Don’t let your houseplants wither this winter with Soltech Growlights!
  • [16:57] Nourish your houseplants with Espoma Organic’s gentle and premium fertilizers!
  • [18:57] What triggers carnivorous plants’ dormancy?
  • [19:57] What carnivorous plants do to their prey
