How to make Venus Fly Trap thrive When I was young, my mother was a professional gardener and used to take me to the shop for professional gardeners. I used to take succulents and carnivores, the succulents liked, but the carnivores ALWAYS died. Now I am trying my luck again with this beautiful venus flytrap, but while I know how to grow Tomatoes and general gardening, I literally have no clue what those carnivores really need from me. Is there a great beginner's guide you can recommend? What are your tips and tricks, where to place it how to water, feed(?) and fertilize it? Happy to get any help!
