FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

I just recently purchased baby flytraps, what are the things i need to know to keep them a long time?

Peat moss as soil. Add perlite or silica sand (pool filter). Or pure peat but it gets really wet which makes small traps.
Use distilled,rain,RO, or snow water(in the winter).
No fertilizer. Except a few like maxsea and various orchid ferts.
Lots of light 6-14 hours of direct sundlight/light shade/dappled light
Dormancy thanksgiving-Valentines day, they need a period of 20-45 degrees of cold weather EVERY YEAR.
Matt has a FAQ on the homepage too.
