Hey Wendy,
First off, a big LOL to your signature; I'm from a very small and quaint tourist town where that bumpersticker is quite popular.
On to the traps. Mine just kicked the proverbial bucket, boo hoo. Caught a draft, got sick and died. Hopefully Nako will come along and post, as I do believe she is the VT queen. In the meantime, here is a good link that you might find some useful info on. Good luck!

hiiiiiiii!
okay i'm gonna give you the conditions that mine are under right now. Mine is in a terarrium right now as a leaf cutting. its got a small plant growing out of the end of the cutting.
Temperature is between 70 and 80 degrees
Humidity is above 60%
I think the high humidity might help. It helps with pitchers anyway ^.^ The other thing is, what kinda potting mix are you using? I've got live moss growing on a small layer of sand, and underneath that is a buncha long fibered sphagnum moss which has been packed in there pretty tight. It keeps the top soil moist, and it airates the roots, and ya ^.^ its cool!
Good luck with all that lemme know if it still bugz ya!
