Hello everyone.
I found this site while doing some research on Venus Fly Traps.
I refused to own a plant or even a goldfish for the last 20+ years because I didn't need the maintenance they required as little as it may be.
Unfortunately due to a major change in life events (not for the better) I had to get a job at a big box store (the Orange one )
Anywho the other day a coworker said we got a shipment of Venus Fly Traps in.
I told myself "Now that is a plant I might consider owning"
Doing some searching online I came across this site and it seems that they are high maintenance but I am going to try my best so I picked 2 up.
Looking forward to trying my best to keep them alive.
I have read the FAQ (which are great and very informative for a newb) so I think I have a chance except for the dormancy thing.
We had the perfect pot for them but I am not about to spend $20 on a clearance flower pot let alone the $30 they originally wanted. I'll have to see if it goes down to $5.
Need some pruning advice for the black leaves / traps.
Do you prune as far down as you can or just cut the trap off and leave the leaf?
