Hello all,
My name is Natalie. I'm a mom, plant lover, tree hugging lady lol. I've always been very into plants but I've only got any personal experience in growing vegetables, herbs, and very basic potting flowers. My friend gave me a Venus Fly Trap as a gift and I'm excited but also woefully inexperienced with them. I've googled and watched a few videos on them before happening by this forum. I think this might be much more helpful than just reading articles as I would love to keep this baby nice and healthy. I'm very excited for this new adventure with a new plant and can't wait to learn more about them/how to best care for them.

Feel free to drop your favorite tips for newbies!

Thanks!

Welcome! My wife grows all kinds of herbs as well. I'm more just into CP's though I have very recently started getting into lilies and iris.

This should be your one stop shop for VFT information. If you can't find it here feel free to ask.
