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.

This is the very thing you should do !

Nothing worse than getting the zips on your 501's caught.

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.

Although they are only like £5. If it dies just get another one.

I think that's Paul McCartney's philosophy.....

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.
