In a few days ma parents r gonna get me an ma sis a Venus fly trap. So wat r some things I should know. I live in south eastern Iowa and I'll be in a attic. I know u don't feed it hamburger meat, but wat about like steak? Or is it no to all meats? I know they go dorment and it looks like they r dying but they r still alive. For water it's distiled or reverse osmosis or rain. Wat about sunlight. I know it needs alot of sun light but I don't wanna "cook" it as iv read can happen. I know it needs alot of water or humidity. Since I'm at skewl for about seven hours if I water it befor skewl will it b fine for the rest of the day till I get home? Also it makes seeds or flowers. Iv herd u should clip them off, should I? Iv also read it will naturaly like split or make another root system or something like that. Is that true? Can they eat wasps? I get a few in ma room in the summer and I don't like killing them cuz they r hard to kill an I don't wanna get stung. Also it says 2-3 bugs a month I'm guessing that's per plant but just o be sure that's not for each mouth pod thing right? What is the temperature rang for growing season? Dorment? O and Im gonna be growin these inside. About how long do they take to grow to have the pod things? And untill then how should I keep them alive? Any other tips u hav on growin would be appreciated. Or any links u have to good sites. Or on getting more from one plant cuz I'd like to get more. I know it's alot of questions but I want to grow these right. Thanx in advance.
