Hello All,
New to the forum and I must say that I have found all of the comments and advice very interesting.
Just purchased two plants and am hopeful that I will be able to have success with them.

They have not really changed at all since I got them 5 days ago, but there has no sun in my area for about a week. I have tried to supplement with flourescent lighting, but can't wait til I can get them outside and get some real sunlight.

I have tried to follow all of the advice I have read, i.e. distilled or rain water, proper soil, etc so I guess we will see how it goes.

Give me a holla if you get a chance and I will keep you updated on my progress with the plants!! :)

Hello English Springer and welcome to flytrapcare!

It sounds like you've educated yourself about the basics of caring for a flytrap and I'm happy to hear that you plan on putting your plant outside. It will definitely grow best there. Please do keep us updated with your progress and be sure to ask any questions that you have. See you around!
