Good news guys!

I looked at Vikella (The venus trap) the other day, and it IS growing! There are two small sprout leaves/stems/whatever poking out... Through all the odds of bad water, cold weather and some sort of white moss, a small sprout has emerged! I'll take some new pictures and upload them soon

And, as I type this, I have just spotted another sprout poking it (slightly away from the others)! Lucky i didn't dig it up, then

I'm going to collect some rain water, boil the stones in it to clean them, wash the pot and the plastic tub out, then replace the water with warm rain water. I'm not suprised that moss has grown, its a warm damp place which is ideal for it, I'm just suprised it doesn't seem to be affecting Vikella...for now....

So I'll take some pics and put them on my PC and then share them all with you during the next day or so

Great!!! cant wait to see the pictures of your baby venus fly trap. Good thing you didnt dig up!! Ouch 3.1 litres of blood, darn, thats a whole lot of blood, thats what I get for being curious and clicking on the link in your signature. Good luck with your venus fly trap, its my personal favorite plant.

Here are some pictures of what it looks like now (I still need to clean out the plastic bowl, so its still quite mucky xD)

Wow, how long has it been growing? Does it grow that slow?I wonder how long it taks for it to grow fully? Good luck with your Venus fly trap

About 10 - 12 weeks (my math is probably wrong )

But apparantly it can take a whole year for it to become a venus fly trap with the snappers and what-not

So I might just buy an adult one aswell
