Cool plants man! I'd have a good time feeding it random things. A fly, or a piece of a rubber eraser, would it eat it notice the difference and eat it anyhow? I don't know how one of those work, so you feed the thing through the trap, or you feed the soil?

Whatever the case is, that's sweet.

How's your mouth these days Slipknot?

doesn't hurt anymore and i'm supposd to get my dentures soon...

as for the plant, basicly a bug goes inside the little open trap parts, then it closes on them and starts digesting them... i don't think it could digest a rubber eraser

Lawl. You got flies?

[PatrickHenry]

dude that plant is rad! does it require certain lighting or anything? how do you take care of them?

[slipknotpsycho]

from what the package says just keep the soil moist and give it indirect sunlight everyday.. doesn't require fertilizer (it says if you WANT to once a month you can give it really diluted fertilizer) erm, every four times one of those pods close the pod dies (new ones grow) as they die and turn black, you have to pick them off and throw 'em out... that's about it lol...

and no we don't have flies (damnit where are those little annoying fuckers when you need them???) but we gots plenty of those little baby roaches, you know the ones that aren't much bigger then the tip of a pen... i been giving it some of those..
