Well, I have to put my 2 cents in here. I have to disagree. Granted I have killed some CPs in the past, but personaly I think CPs are much easier to care for than orchids. Now yeah true you can go buy a hybred orchid and basicly ignore it and it will do fine, but when you get into species orchids you can be in for a time getting them to bloom. I guess the major differance is there is basicly a narrow set of general guide lines you can go by and gro CP's. Orchid on the other hand with 25k+ different species, and a bunch of different conditions for each. With CPs I think most people grow them for the pitchers and the looks of the plants. Well, with orchids its easy to get the plant to grow and grow and grow, but if you don't have conditions right the little @%&#er will not bloom. People grow orchids for the flowers not the plant generaly. Now I have only been into CPs again for about a month and so far the ones I have seem to be doing fine. The ones I just recieved seem to be adjusting very well. From my limited knowledge I would say chids are harder to get used to.
Although really if you look at it growing any plants are easy. Its just recreating what they like that may be difficult. People ask me all the time if growing orchids are hard, and I say no they are just different, and once you learn how they are different then its a peice of cake to grow. Flowering is a whole nother story. LOL Have a darn Maxilaria tenufolia that is growing like a weed, but has never blomed for me yet. I'm trying the burn or die method on it at the moment. LOL Was told by someone give it more light more light. Well, the next place to go was full sun. I heard it worked for some folks on the same plant so I'm trying now.
I think the best advice I can give is read all you can and don't be afraid to kill something, because everyone will kill some plants along the way. Even the Pro's have the occasional death in the family.
Ok I'm done rambling.
