I’ve used a self watering pot and only add a little water to the bottom every other day. I also use carnivorous plant soil, got mine on Amazon for a pretty decent price! I’ve also been giving one trap a bug about once a week to once every 2 weeks :)

Thank you! Where did you get the self watering pot from?

Have you ever let yours flower before? I’m letting mine flower for the first time this year, would love some tips on pollinating and all that good stuff after they open up.
