[QUOTE="Ranitomeya, post: 265022, member: 6796"] If you mean carnivorous plants, they're primarily insectivorous--most species will react poorly or die if you give them any sort of meat. Temperate species can be started very easily by seeds, but the seeds must be cold stratified in damp medium in the refrigerator. It takes them very little time to germinate if cold stratified, but they will not grow to maturity until they're into their second or third year at their fastest. Tropical species can be started easily from seeds if the seeds have not been refrigerated. The seeds need to be sowed fresh and refrigeration or slow sowing can cause poor or no germination. Most tropical species mature very slowly and take several years to approach maturity. [/QUOTE]
