Default Venus fly trap


you shouldn't really let them flower as it weakens the plant. they go
dormant over the winter, keep it some where cool and keep the peat moist not
wet, don't sit it in water.

Hiya

Yes I suppose I should not of let it grow the way it did as at the time
there were plenty of flies in the compost bin to keep it well fed. But
now the weather has cooled off I'm having to catch the flies myself!
