Venus Flytrap
 
I am going to get some Venus Flytraps for my 7 and 8 year old neighbor
boys for Christmas. Anything I should know and are there other plants
like that to grow with them?

i strongly advice against your course of action. venus flytraps are not
for little boys. you should purchase a peyote cactus instead. they will
have more fun with it anyway.

venus flytraps are gay plants. they are for girls. a peyote cactus is a
manly plant. it will help them in their daily struggles through adolescence.

they should never be fertilized or
allowed to freeze or dry out.

as a kid i had ideas about growing
them for sale, had flowers and hand
pollinated them, harvested the seeds
and sprouted them.

40something little tykes, and then i
had to go away for a few weeks. i asked
my sister to watch over them and keep
them moist. i came home to small little
black strands of dried out baby venus
flytraps.

they are fun plants, need some warmth
and bright light to do well. plenty of
good reading material out there on how
to grow and care for them.

other companion plants would also be
bog/low nutrient plants. pitcher plants,
sundew, ...

Struggles that you are yet to conquer it seems. If you cannot contribute
please don't waste time and bandwidth.
