Hey guys my name is gio and i own a venus fly trap idk of what variant if someone can help me with that as well. I keep it under an incandescent grow light overnight for 12 hours and leave it off during the day(im not home that often) i know incandescent lights are said to be bad but it has been working fine for my pitcher plant and fluorescent fixtures are too big for my space. I grow the pitcher plant in a terrarium with same light as fly trap and both recieve distilled water. Any advice is appreciated thank you!

Well you asked for it feedback and suggestions.. I think that you are very lucky that they look as good as they do considering how you have decided to try and grow them. Both of these plants would do much better and be much happier if you could find a place outside for them to grow. And that's my opinion. If you want to grow CPs in a terrarium get yourself some sundews. :D
