    i love nature

    a plant can evolve to survive in soil without any nutrients by becoming carnivorous, but rain? that’s a step too far buddy

    also reminds me of lurking in the magic mushroom growing subreddit, in the wild those mushrooms can grow on literal cow shit, but in people’s homes they die if their rice is not sterile enough

      Afaik there aren’t any carnivorous plants that can be killed with rainwater. It’s much more likely that they were out where the sprinkler could get them (hard water, chlorine, etc will kill carnivorous plants). Never, ever water carnivorous plants with tap water.
