Just FYI, venus flytraps, like most insect traps, get their nitrogen from
the insects.

That is how they have adapted to thrive in poorly fertilized soils. Venus
Flytraps only grow to about 5 inches tall, with about 4 to 8 traps per
plant. If you add excess nutrients to your Venus Flytrap to try and make it
bigger, you may end up hindering rather than helping its growth because the
plant has evolved to prosper in nutrient-poor environments.

Thanks Brian! Where do you get "distilled water", or are you just
using bottled?

You can buy distilled water anywhere. HEB, Target, Wal-Mart.
It looks like any other "milk bottle" gallon of water, but
read the labels.
