Keeping flytraps

[nebrakacinese]

Hi,I just had a question about my fly trap.it came in a little pot that was set in a small glass,which cracked,if I would put it in a glass globe,where the leaves touched the sides would that be bad?I'm getting another next week,and getting a terrium too.Just wondering for right now Thanks

for fly traps, you dont need clear domes to keep them healthy. its a huge myth that they need them. they'll be much better in full sun in a standing tray of water outside with no terrarium.

cobraplant.com is my favorite site for caresheets. i've been buying from them for years also. they also have a "ask expert" section which i used many times.

Flytraps won't last long as an indoor plant in any container. They wan a winter dormancy period to expand their tubers and flower in the spring

I live in a large apt.building so I really can/t put it outside it would probably disapear,does that mean it's doomed

It will live a year or two, but its not an indoor plant. Keep it by a window close to the glass, and perhaps that will be enough

Ive got just the window for that,and it gets really cold in Nebraska
