    Venus fly traps

    I got one coming weds.
    Looking for tips, so far I've learned that...

    Only keep them in the special soil
    Only give them distilled / rain water
    Plenty of sun light
    Dont water in winter just keep soil moist.
    Cut off dead traps in winter and white flowers in spring
    Mixed info on whether to keep the pot in another bowl of water or not
    Dont tease the traps
    Anything else?

    No. You have got it confused with the penus fly trap. Two totally different plants.

    Don't feed it kebabs. Chesney and Gemma did this to Sineads and it died.

    That's when a toilet lid drops down mid slash and catches you on the Herman gelmet. Nasty business.

    You'd be very unlucky to end up with the heather mills of fly traps though.

    Don't feed it crisps or you get thrown out of Kew Gardens ( our school trip did anyway ) and banned for life.
