Hey Ron, don't forget to give your flytraps a dormancy period when
you grow them in a terrarium. My first plants were grown in a
terrarium, they grew like crazy that summer, and then I noticed that
they started to decline in early Fall. But I still kept the conditions warm
and humid, hoping they'd come back. They didn't. I actually exhausted
them by not providing their required dormancy conditions and they
died.
That may be the only bit of advice you need. :-)
Good luck,
Perry Malouf
