if I wanted to fill the flytraps trays with water to a certain level, how would I do that? What equipment will I need?
You'd just need a tray with water and a pot with holes in the bottom so that the substrate can wick the water up

It keeps them constantly moist. I have vfts and neps in sphagnum moss that is already moist even the top. My sarrs and drosera are in 50/50 perlite/peat moss and they're doing well also.
