Greetings. I became a member 8 months ago and finaly bought my first CP. I have 2 VFT s. I fed one some peices of Pear. is that okay? I feel like they are my children, I love them so much. I need to find out how to plant CPs in moss. I bought peat moss,and I have a couple species of shpagnum moss growing in a clear plastic container for humidity. I have an aquarium thats not setup atm. How do I attach photos?

Hey Daner! Venus flytraps should be kept on a strict insect diet such as flies and ants. I don't think you hurt it by giving it a pear but they wont get anything usefull out of it. If you bought peat moss you need to make sure that it is completely saturated with water. For example, I put my desired ammount of peat moss in a bowl, add water, then squeeze the peat untill it turns a darker colour and absorbs water. You can put the living moss on top of the peat moss as it looks nice. To attach photos upload them to photobucket, then click on the picture that you uploaded, and copy the IMG url to the right of your screen, then paste in a message. Here is more info about VFT's www.flytrapcare.com/Hope this helps! Will |

Be sure the bugs you give your plants have not been sprayed with pesticides, and flytraps prefer their bugs alive. The struggling of the bug shuts the flytrap more firmly. Give your flytraps distilled water or water from reverse osmosis filter. Give them lots of sunshine, south window. I hope you don't keep yours in those plastic cover they come in!
