Hey guys, I'm currently 24 years old and I'm from Ottawa ON. I just became interested in carnivorous plants after i bought a VFT from Home Depot. The Forum looks big so i don't know where to start so i'll start here.
About my venus flytrap: I grow my VFT indoors on a windowsill, its 21 degrees during the day and drops to 17 during the night.It gets about 6 hours of sunlight. I water it every 2 to 3 days.[hbr] I'm new to the carnivorous sense so any advice for my VTF would be helpful.

Half a lifetime or more ago, Amanito. A 24 of beer was $10 and a chocolate bar was 10 cents. No, wait, that was when I was 15.
Sorry for the threadjack, beeasian. Your VFT probably needs more light and please make sure it is getting distilled or rain water.

...yes, and feed it, it's fun to do and makes a huge difference in growth....................i remember I used to buy a pack of cigarettes for $3.79, yesterday I paid $14.35 for a pack of smokes!!!! 95% of that is taxes, I end the hijack now before it escalates any further.
