Well, they can die from lack of nutrients. They do get energy from sunlight, just like any other plants, but they need the nutrients that trapped insects provide. Unfortunately, trying to add nutrients via fertilizer in the soil apparently just kills them outright. People who grow them inside actually have to manually feed them periodically to keep them alive. Which is why I want them to grow outside. I really don't want to have mouths to have to feed. Had my fill of that when I had the snake breeding business.
