My annual attempt to grow venus flytraps, failed again after 5 months, and my amaryllis that I have had to divided every 5 years for the last 30 that I've been here. Sometimes I fail, sometimes I get lucky.

The flytrap is doing better than any I've tried to grow.

I was really surprised that I failed so quickly on these. high acid soil, low nutrient, heavy water, they dried out once and that was it. I was careful not to let to many bugs get into the traps. Oh well next year when they come out again.
I have killed several venus flytraps. They look so cool and so useful. The amaryllis look great!

I have a horrible time with Venus Flytraps. I managed to get one to flower once, it lived in the bathroom for a few months, but eventually all of its heads fell off and it died.

these flowered for 3 months, then I took a little over a week trip and they dried out. They were too tall for a top on the terrarium.
Beautiful setup. Don't feel bad. You are not alone. Lol
