    Hey I have a question on a venus flytrap I got from a mate. It's a very small baby like plant in a small pot. I just read they are difficult to maintain without dying!
    Does anyone have any advice on how to take care of it, the type of soil it likes, and repotting it into a larger pot allowing it to grow?
    Its a mad plant, and a great decoration plus killin flies which I hate, so i wanna take care of it well :D

    I bought one from Atlantic in Blanch during the summer. I water it with boiled cooled water and it has grown a long spike with a flower on the top. Ive had some before and they all died when I kept them in the house. The one I have now is in an unheated greenhouse.
