Venus Fly Trap

My awesome sister's got a Venus Fly Trap for me for Valentine's Day. My mom and dad called and ordered it from The Garden Center but they said that the plants come in on Tuesdays but sometimes they wouldn't get them for weeks, even months. We waited for a week and I did some research about how to take care for it.

Here is what I learned when I did my research. I learned that they only need to be feed two flies each year but they can be feed more and the flies have to be alive. They can't be teased because each trap can only close 5 or 6 times before it dies. They can't have tap water and they prefer high places but doesn't need to be there.
We waited for another week.

On the end of the week we decided that we should just order it online and we did . A few days later it arrived, It was a bit crushed, but my mom fixed it. I put it the kitchen because the kitchen is the brightest room in the house and they like lots of sunlight.








 I put cup out while it was raining to get some rain water to spray on it because that's the best way to do it.
I know that I'll have lots of fun helping it grow.
