I just got myself 2 Venus fly traps. I’ve heard the bottom of their draining pot it came it could live in water because they are swampy plants. Is that something I should do is put the bottom in distilled water? Or should I just make sure the soil stays damp and leave the pots out of water? Thanks in advance

    Yup, you can keep these guys in a tray of distilled water. Just keep an eye out for the top and do top watering/misting every few days. Also make sure you take the plastic sleeve off from around the plant if you haven’t yet.
