Carnivorous plants, since their discovery, have always fascinated the human mind: starting with Charles Darwin, who when he saw the Dionaea muscipula for the first time called it "the most spectacular plant in the world", up to you, who you are reading these lines.

This manual aims to provide all the essential notions to approach the world of carnivorous plants cultivation, in particular the most common ones to be found on the market, namely Dionaea muscipula, Sarracenias, “rustic” Nepenthes and Droseras.
