NEVER EVER fertilise or use potting soil. They grow well in spaghnum and/or peat moss. DO NOT give them shade and NEVER terranium conditions. Don't feed them meat, cheese etc and don't unnecessarily spring traps as this uses a great deal of the plants energyChris Jhttp://community.webshots.com/user/railexcursionz2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-49591839457497238472011-09-27T12:05:04.895-07:002011-09-27T12:05:04.895-07:00Dionaea are wonderfull plants however they tend to...Dionaea are wonderfull plants however they tend to die due to being bought by unknowing customers.<br /><br />When I was young I had one, needless to say it died within a month because we had been giving it tap water.<br /><br />Nowadays I have one that has been neglected by his previous owner (all the roots and nearly all the leaves had died) and it's actually growing again.

You may wany to leave them in the terrariums they come in due to the lack of distilled water, they are only short term residents to your greenhouse.
