recently discovered this from a neighbor, I gave her this website so shout out if you see this! all credit due
turns out darlingtonia is incredibly easy to grow, and prolific at that, if you simply pay attention to it's need for COOL WATER.
my new friend's technique is to water a very large (3 gallon?) pot to the brim every day will cool/ cold water. we have healthy tap water so it's just from water that hasn't been sitting in the hose warming.
she also lines the planter with a plastic bag, but it is otherwise a draining pot.
I'm used to standing water so we will see if I can keep up with daily watering needs, but believe me when I tell you her cobra plant GROWS
