Just signed on to this forum. I had venus flytraps many years ago but really a total novice. I have a small plastic greenhouse 6"x6"x6"x6" and about 7" high. What would be good choices for flytraps and maybe sundew. I imagine pitcher plants are too tall unless there are some dwarf versions? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Hello and welcome to flytrapcare!

Here's a popular, inexpensive greenhouse http://www.amazon.com/Gardman-R687-4-Ti ... 858&sr=8-1

And there are pitcher plants that would fit just fine in a greenhouse like that. Something like a nepenthes pitcher plant could work :)

Thank you for the suggestion but I would like to keep this very small. What would fit in a small plastic greenhouse and what plants would do fine in a home with grow lights.

and yeah, for 40 bucks that's a great little greenhouse that pieguy linked. If I had the space for something like that in my apt. I'd be all over that one!
