Growing meat eating plants

2020 attempt

Worked pretty well. Grew 3 different Venus Fly Traps in a semi-sealed, high-humidity environment.

I eventually forgot to water the plants for a couple of weeks and they all died almost immediately.

I learned a few lessons. Don’t feed like 30 crickets to just 2 VFT plants. It’s too much. :)

2023 attempt (update)

Bought a “ping” (butterwort) which is much more stable and easier to grow. It doesn’t have moving parts, but sticky leaves instead which the bugs stick to. I might end up just growing these instead of VFTs at all.

Bought seeds for lots of different types of meat-eaters and none of them took. I think that I got scammed on Amazon. :(
