I live in EXTREMELY dry western CO...which is zone 6b. Is it advisable for me to purchase the pitcher plant, the sundew and venus fly trap?

They thrive in humid climates and require almost swamp like conditions out of direct sunlight

You can, but you must keep it moist, spray it with distilled water, reverse osmosis water, or collected rain water, make sure you collect the water from a clean source and not under a synthetic source. I hope this satisfies your answer. Also to add keep the container a quarter to have full at all times, and don't keep the plant in full sun, if you do the plant will burn and dry along with the soil.

I am not positive but don't believe they would survive outside but in terrariums they would be fine.

My pitcher plant has grown and thrived and I just have it next to a sunny window. I haven't used a terrarium or any humidifiers. I live in Northern Cal and we have the airconditioner on at about 78 degrees and the pitcher plant does not seem to mind it. It does get very warm next to the sunny window. If the temperature in your office does not fluctuate too much and there is a nice sunny window you can put it next to it and it would probably do well.

http://www.frontiercoop.com/company/history.php is their website. My grandparents from Sioux City Iowa so I may be biased to prefer Iowa agricultural products. I am farther south in Missouri which is warmer.

Living in the Northwest the plant died down but is now starting to come up. I have not at this point used any fertilize. But I would recommend Jobes Tropical Plant Spikes

I don't know if it will grow in Zone 7 or not. I live in Zone 8 (north central Texas) and it is doing beautifully. I think it is certainly worth a try. If you want you can e-mail Kimberly Bell at Outsidepride and find out, she is very responsive to questions. If it were me I'd do it. You might try one pound in a test area. I believe that covers 3,000 sq ft. You will only lose $20 if it doesn't work.

Zone 9 is within the growing zone for this plant (zones 6-9) and this is the zone for Phoenix/Scottsdale. See http://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/PlantFinder/PlantFinderDetails.aspx?kempercode=q280. I'm in Texas Zone 8 and the plant is happy growing on my fence in a lot of sun. You might want to watch how much sun it will get where you plant it as you are hotter than we are here. Asking the grower is probably your safest bet. Keep in mind it's a perennial and dies back when it gets cold.

I live in the southeast zone 7B. Never watered it once other than rainfall. Very drought tolerant once established.

It would depend on your microclimates, but generally I would not recommend this tree for Zone 6. It seems to need bright, direct sun and a sheltered spot here in Zone 8a, so you'd practically need to build a greenhouse around it in Zone 6-especially if we have another fisticuffs with the Arctic Vortex. I'm sorry, but as Sassine wrote, you'd be better off with an American Persimmon.

I loved this stuff... grows on the top of the soil so needs lots of water and moisture. but then again I have sandy yard. I live in the south, texas and when we had the drought it died.. I believe because of the heat AND the low humidity... it was terrible.. I have been thinking of planting again..it is beautiful I cannot deny that fact.....

As far as I know, all blackberries and dewberries are perennials. One variety in Oregon is so prolific and large that it is considered a weed. This variety you are interested in was developed by the University of Arkansas. I do not know if it is hardy in your area. It is patented so propagation without a license (and a fee to UA) is prohibited until the patent runs out. They may spread some underground, but most often new plants are started when a tip makes contact with the soil for several months. I know Triple Crown is grown in a variety of climates and might be more suitable for your situation. The plants I purchased from this seller were very young and very small. Both plants failed to survive in my garden.

Not sure what zone 5-6 is, but I live near Houston and it will grow here, in soil that you purchase. The land here is mostly clay, which is not conducive to growing anything, except hay.

I think the typical "cool dry place" out of the sun would be best. I would apply them as soon as possible to avoid them going bad. I don't know that cold will affect them. "it is likely that extremes of cold, drying or high summer temperatures would kill off nematodes..." Avoid extremes. How to apply? That was annoying and messy. If I recall, it said to mix the stuff with some water and soil, then spread after the sun has gone down. That would give the nematodes time to dig info the soil before the suns comes back up. The directions were on the container. The real question is - did it work? I'd have to say yes. We've had grubs outside our yard and found the occasional grub in the yard. Significantly less of an issue than before. I'd like to think they worked. Without some sort of test, there's no real telling. A lack of grubs, no an elimination of grubs is good enough for me. Another thing we did was buy fishing worms and applied them to the soil. Here in Arizona, the worms are, pathetic. Since then, we've had worms in our yard and they've been healthier looking than the scraggly things that we used to find. Terrible soil here in Arizona.

Not sure myself about the zones nut I live in Colorado and my plant is healthy, but I keep mine indoors with plenty of light and away from frost.

Pretty much yes. There are leaf cutter bees that are mid summer. I suggest you also take a look at YouTube.

I have more luck with the Cape Sundews catching gnats. Have had no problem with either the Sundews or the Flytraps growing. Either distilled water / or what I have been using is rain water - they like plenty of sun. All my plants have flowered and am keeping the seeds.
