Flytrap

Ms2011 · 2018-07-03 10:04:39

So I've run out of rain water for my Flytrap, anyone suggest an alternative as there's not supposed to be any rain for another 10 days at least.

I seem to remember reading that you shouldn't, it would put the plant under too much stress or something. I'd have to look it up again.

are irish flies & insects attracted to them? cause most of the time my plant is left with its gobs wide open only catching the very occasional fly, even when left outside

* btw - is it good practice to put a dead fly in?

I've heard of them being fed with small fragments of minced beef.
