    Children and flytraps dont mix!

    I have a cousin who really loves looking at them. He is pretty good about leaving them alone. He is 8 years old and really smart. He loves telling everybody all these fancy names for dinosaurs and plants etc. He knows not to touch the traps cause its bad for them. I didn't even have to tell him...

    Moths = Bad

    I heard that towards winter time moths start to produce some sort of acid for mateing and it can kill the traps. About a month ago I fed my trap a moth. The moth was alive and kicking but the next day the trap opened back up on me. Guess its legs didn't irritate the trigger points enough.

    Another newbie here!

    I have to leave the lid on my terrium otherwise they will get cold in my room. I do however have a small CPU fan blowing air around inside. I noticed they started growing some after I put the fan in there. It also seems to stay alot more humid inside for some reason.

    Should I order a bulb or grown plant?

    Observation I have noticed

    I recently got about 10 *yup 10 hehe* Bulbs from this site. 1 of them was in a seperate package the others wadded into a big ball. Well the one in its own package is the healthiest and it is nearly full-grown Id guess. The rest of them are alive and growing slowly but surely. Anyways on to the...

    Dead Dead Dead! HELP!

    Im not expert but there is 2 things I could see being a problem. 1. What kind of Water do you give it? Distilled is the best to use. Tap water can kill them though depending what your city water is like. 2. Lack of Humidity. Even though your house might be 80 degrees AC's take the Humidity out...

    peach fuzz on soil

    I got some more of this stuff now Its close to the plants now so I don't think I can do what I did before without hurting the plants. Any suggestions on what to use now? I got some funicide mix from this site so do I just spray that stuff on it?

    peach fuzz on soil

    I usually leave the top off at night time, but during the day I just have the lid cracked a tad to keep it nice and humid in there.  I am not useing incadecent lighting anymore so the bulbs put off very little heat as it is.  If this stuff comes back is there anything that can kill it but not...
