Project Notes

grow your own virtual carnivorous plant! the venus fly trap (dionea muscipula) is triggered closed when the insect touches the hairs inside the trap. water it by dragging the water icon onto the plant! feed it by dragging the ant icon into the traps! sounds easy? its not! the plant will die if the thirst level is at none or if you water it when the thirst meter is full, or if the hunger level is full OR empty, as over and under feeding kills the plant. by ross (me). a carnivorous plant grower. p.s: do not use this as a guide for caring for a venus flytrap (dionea muscipula). if you are getting one, keep it in a verry sunny, humid place, keep it well watered, and feed it once a week. i also advise snipping the flower stalk off. this appears in mid-spring, and is extremly draining on the plants energy. the plant benefits from being repotted every one or two years, unless the roots poke out of the bottom of the pot early. the soil MUST be carnivorous plant soil, which is highly acidic and low in neutrients. i recomend lorbex compost. for more info go to flytrapcare.com
