Got a new Venus Fly Trap - now I need a pot

[Artaxerxes]

Survived the winter. Just. I let it dry out a couple of times and almost lost it. Looking a bit healthier the last few weeks with the reappearance of the sun, though.

Also got some flowers! I know some people don't let them flower, but I've never seen a VFT flower before so decided to leave it.

It's pretty cool. The flowers grow high so the traps don't catch the insects they need to help with pollination

Cat for scale and extra likes

I used to feed mine bits of roast chicken but it didn't last long.

you should have given it raw mince or even raw chicken, never cooked

It caught a fairly hefty fly (bottom left trap)


The Drosera is taking over, though, so gonna have to intervene in this ecosystem, to save the traps.
