Alright, $20 is gonna be hard to work with, but here goes. First get a small bowl pot, you could reuse a food container, etc. After that, get peat and perlite from Ace Hardware, but it might be a little over your budget, so you could go to Lowe's instead and get BetterGrow or Gubler's long fibered sphagnum moss. After that, at Lowe's check out their selection of carnivorous plants, and pick up some Venus flytraps and Sarracenia, if they don't have sarracenia, go to Trader Joes. You could also increase your budget, and order online; I've heard that FTS has excellent quality, and a great selection, but it may be a little bit pricey. You could buy from CalCarn or Predatory Plants, and it will be slightly cheaper, but the plants from CalCarn might be a little small. Also, if you don't order online, Lowe's has plenty of CP's and you can rejuvenate them, and they will grow vigorously, AND you could try and get a discount. You can go to the manager and say, "It has a black leaf" or something like that, and they will give it to you for a cheaper price. I have gotten them for 50% off before. This is assuming you don't have any of the plants. If you do, just get peat and perlite from ace, then put the plants in. If you are able to, tray and have holes in the bottom of the container (make sure container is not terra cotta) then get a tray and fill with distilled water. Give the plants at least 4-6 hours of direct sun, and give distilled water. Place outside, and the plants will catch plenty of bugs.
Happy Growing!
