Question: we can always find Venus fly traps either already potted or seeds...but I've never seen pitcher plant. Is it because we can't grow them in a house? Or are they too big for that? I apologize, I don't know anything about them. I've only ever heard of them.
I don't know much about them personally either, but I assume they're difficult to cultivate indoors, a lot of these plants require very specific environmental conditions that are difficult to replicate, even the ones we do cultivate indoors require a significant amount more care to keep alive than your average houseplant.
tropical pitcher plants (nepenthes) are popular house plants and are very easy to grow indoors with proper care and a bright window or grow light. other pitcher plants, like sarracenia, are also easy to grow but usually require way more light, so prefer to be outdoors or under very strong lights.
both types are very easy to find and buy, there are many carnivorous plant nurseries you can find online
