This has probably been asked before, but I've only just started trying to
maintain some droseras and sarracenias and would apprciate it if someone
could tell me if it is important to feed the CPs through their respective
trapping mechanisms. If not where do CPs get their nutrients? If yes does
regular feeding through traps encourage trap development? Afterall making
traps consume energy and if the plant is not very successful trapping
would it not shut down the process for a while until a more plentiful
harvest?

Thanks.
