Focusing on carnivorous plants, which are known for their very unique appearance, this paludarium was created with the spirit of a summer research project. Carnivorous plants often catch insects as a nutrient source due to their growth in nutrient-poor soils. However, in a paludarium, it’s not always necessary to provide insects, as nutrients can be supplemented through the substrate system and fertilization. A paludarium that avoids complex layouts and simply highlights the allure of exotic plants can also be quite charming.
