venus flytraps are kool,but mine always died after afew weeks

Yeah, everyone seems to have that problem, I can't understand why, they're the easiest plant to grow that I know of.

Oh! I didn't notice you're in Darwin, I imagine they'd be hard to grow up there, unless you owned or had access to a cool room for a few months each year.

yeh same, i think it's cause i couldnt be bothered untill it caught a fly naturally so i kept ctaching them and feeding it too them, and then i tried to open the trap to see what the fly looked like. Then they died. DAM! lol
