Yea. It's sarracenia purpurea yellow variant. It's native to my state I know that much. Yea, definitely not the best choice for terrarium, at all. If I were you, I would put it in a normal pot, and at least put it in much sun as possible. And yes to the distilled water, think about collecting rain water, because even I sometimes forget to refill my jugs after work. We're only human.

If you do sense an addiction coming on, I would get an easy butterwort or sundew for that set up instead.

And definitely a very neat idea with the other complimenting plants with it. I mean, when I read you designed that I was blown away for a min really good job dude, hope you picked the right career.

And lastly, even if you said screw it to all of the advice, that plant will outgrow that bowl.

Guaranteed.

LASTLY, if you do make it a hobby. Regardless what anyone tells you and I mean ANYONE!!!

Use coco coir instead of sphagnum moss!

Please just do that at least and pass it on. Look up how it is manufactured and acquired.
