Hi all,
little background:
My very first venus fly trap was when i was 16 years old, i didnt take the time to really care for it and was mainly interested in just feeding it anything i can get my hands on
, needless to say it died within a week. that was over 10 years ago and until recently, my interest in these plants have began to grow again. so my family and i were at our local Lowe's store and i remembered that I can purchase these plants from the store and went ahead and picked up one for me and one for my son. Being very careful to not make the same mistake as i did when i was younger, i did a quick search on 'how to care for venus fly traps' and this forum showed up. I'm amazed and how marvelous these plants can get (when they are properly cared for) and i want the same for my plants as well. Looking forward to building a common interest and positive relationship with any one willing to help me on this journey!

And don't worry, probably most of us killed our first (or first few) Venus Flytraps. They grow into magnificent little plant monsters though once one understands their few but strict requirements.
