Default Re: Finally Got My Venus Flytrap !!

At one time I had over 600 of them. Had a lot of nice mature ones a couple years ago but a freak flood washed them away! I'll have to restart my collection from scratch again. They get a little bigger every year - but you must allow them to chill down some and go dormant every winter or they'll fade on you and die after a year or two.

Be well,
Mike

Most of the chain nurseries around here sell them at the counter as a last thought impulse buy kind of a thing like TV guide or chocolate bars at the grocery store check out stand where you can't help but look at them. I remember feeding mine some flies.
