They are hungy.
...One day should I draw a character based on these plants.
Anyway, have my small collection of Dionaea plants. (more stuff nobody asked for...)
The big ones were two small vases of a common Dionaea Muscipula I bought back in February in a shop.
I like how big it became.

Carnivorous terrarium! 🌱
Step by step below the cut 💕
How I used keep my plants previously
Substrate used is mostly sphagnum moss with a little bit of perlite. Aquarium rocks are used as drainage and a mosquito net is put between the rocks and the moss to avoid it slipping in deeper and rot underwater. I use the chopped bottle to pour water for the plants.
The branch is an aquarium decoration. Specifically because they are water resistant and don't get mouldy in a humid environment like a normal one would.
I'm not sure about using non aquarium stones for a carnivorous terrarium since they carry minerals and they kill the plants, so I stayed safe and bought a bunch of these.
I'm incredibly happy with how this turned out you have no idea how long I waited to make on of these lol this is my first ever terrarium. I'll decorate further later!!

This Dionaea Muscipula is blooming!
The Dionaea Muscipula (Venus flytrap) uses photosynthesis to create energy like other plants. However, they also digest insects to supplement their energy requirements! This is because Venus Flytraps (and many other types of carnivorous plants) evolved areas with less access to mineral-rich substrates.
Something I learned today is that the Venus flytrap is a monotypic genus--meaning there is only one species!

While my Flytraps are resting beneath winter ice, my local big box store is trying to sell us light starved stressed out plants in plastic boxes.
I won't say you can't get them out of there and keep them alive for 20 +/- years. But the odds are stacked against your success.
