Welcome!!
Read the growing guide on the main forum, it'll help you alot
Some clay pots can leach minerals into the soil and harm VFT's.. Make sure it's hard-fired..
Also, what did you plant your VFT in(soil)?

Hey Rusky,
Welcome to our friendly site and good luck with your plant!
I warn you it can be addicting though (in a good way!!)
Hope to see you around.

Peace!
E.S.

Start off by reading the articles and FAQs on the main site. Here are the most important ones (under the Basic Concepts menu):
http://www.flytrapcare.com/the-importan ... traps.html
http://www.flytrapcare.com/the-importan ... traps.html
http://www.flytrapcare.com/media-soil-f ... traps.html
http://www.flytrapcare.com/venus-fly-trap-dormancy.html

After you read those you should have all the basic knowledge you need to grow a flytrap. If you have more specific questions, don't hesitate to ask.
