How to grow a Venus Fly Trap

Put seeds on very moist peat based compost in a little pot.  Make sure the compost is totally drenched.  Then put the pot in a zip lock plastic bag.  I sat mine on a south facing windowsill on a ledge that gets alot of heat from a radiator nearby.

Every week,  give it an open and mist it with water.  You want to maintain a very moist atmosphere in the bag. Near 100% humidity seems to work just fine. 2 month later,  here’s the little critter.
