Yeah....put a Venus fly trap in normal soil and you'd kill it..... VFTs only grow in acidic (ph3.5-5) nutrient poor soil, ie: peat moss.

@HellHound60248 Where did you buy it from an can you do a video on your set up an plants?

[Zamorak4251]

Actually feeding them once a week is still healthy for them. That's the plant, not the trap by the way.

I bought a 2x1 foot terrarium, set up the dirt and shit, PUT AN UNDERGROUND WALL (so I can have different types of plants on each side) And have both, flowers, a bonsai, and 2 venus flytraps growing in my new terrarium.
