To start, I do not have a green thumb. Everything I try to grow seems to die within days. I am more of an animal person but I live in an apartment and cannot afford to pay pet rent, so am hoping plants would serve as an alternative.
My interest in carnivorous plants started when I saw Little Shop of Horrors as a kid and later found out there are plants very much like the one in the movie called Venus Flytraps. In Junior High I got a couple but they quickly died because I listened to the guy at the store who said to feed them hamburger meat. Gah.
I'm older and hopefully wiser now, and being a mommy of a little boy who loves Plants vs. Zombies, thought he would find carnivorous plants to be pretty cool. So we got one Venus Flytrap and one Butterwort the other day from Lowe's and we'll see how we do!
I look forward to participating on the forum, learning from all of your experiences and hope to share some good ones of my own. I do love plants and really hope I will be successful keeping these wonders alive.
