A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The House Plant Forum Carnivorous Insectivores Indoors Moist, but how moist? (Venus Fly Trap)

Hey!

OK so I'm thinking of picking up a little Venus fly trap tomorrow and setting up a terrarium with an small fish tank i have, here's what i need to know..

my fish tank is taller than it is wide, will this be an issue?

and

how often should I water or mist? where I am is pretty dry not much for moisture but the fish tank does have a lid and although it will get some sunlight naturally it will mostly be getting artificial florescent light.

thanks!
