Caught in a Trap.

I am looking after my son's Venus Fly Trap plant for a few weeks whilst he is working away and then on holiday. He has had it for quite a few years now and I am a little worried I might kill it as I did my daughters strawberry plant. It is loving the warmer weather and all it needs is to be in a dish with rain water in it and it feeds itself from flies when they are lured to it. I leave it outside on my patio so it can also benefit from the rain when we get it. All the traps that are closed have flies in them.
They’re fascinating if slightly gruesome.

Amazing plant - glad to hear that you will not have to flit around catching flies for this carnivore! A healthy looking plant Wendy - I hope you will keep it this healthy till your son comes back home! fav

Wow! I have never actually seen one of these! Amazing! And a great close-up, Wendy! I think you have a good plan that will keep it alive until your son gets back. Fav

Well it looks like you and nature are keeping the plant well-fed. That's a veritable graveyard you've got there!
