Gottcha!

We have stumbled upon the trick to keeping Venus Fly Traps healthy and growing.

Let them fend for themselves!

We've had this one since early May. Other than keeping the plant constantly wet and warm we simply put it outside. It seems Venus Fly Traps are quite capable of "feeding" themselves.

I don't know how it will fare when we have to bring it in for the winter. My home is pretty much fly free.

Aquatic Bird

One of the plants in Solomon's tank is growing multiple "spiderettes", each one branching out further from the mother plant in a generational sort of way.

It's forming a fence like appearance almost all the way around his tank.

Solomon has taken to resting on the runners in between the spiderettes, just like a bird on a telephone wire.
