I have a venus fly trap that has grown incredibly well over the year, when i bought it, it had less than 4 traps and looked dead ( best they had at the G.Centre, but now it has 11 traps that are nearly 1inch in diameter,

I would like to grow more VFT, so could you tell me exactly how to do this, leaf cuttings being the best i have heard, or separting the bulbs as i must have more than one to get 11 traps,

What soil do i need, compost, or sand or that moss stuff,

And how to plant the leaf cutting, or does it just sit on the top, or semi buried, everything really please,

Help will be much apprieciated

I've never grown any carnivous plants but I'm still gonna try to help you (I usually post my past expriences). Found this site on google and it seems the most logical. I'm pretty sure you don't use reg. soil cuz it has too many nutrients in it (VTF eat bugs to get nutrients)

It really depends...I for one like to post with my expiences while some like to post websites. I've gotten 10 replies the day I posted, I've even had times when no one replied, so it really depends on your question that you posted. If you'd like to see for yourself how long typically it can take, you can check the date (the line next to your name) of the firs post and the second reply...usually a week is typical unless your question can easily be answered.
