I’ve grown Venus Flytraps for over 30 years; instead of grass my front lawn consists of Flytraps; I spend more money on water for them than I do on food for my family; I’ve registered a cultivar.
V++
I have LOTS of Venus Flytraps; I go through about 20 gallons of rainwater a week; the neighbors are starting to talk.
V+
I have quite a few Venus Flytraps; I’ve given up on naming them all.
V
I just got my first Venus Flytrap from Lowe’s, so far so good!
V-
I bought a Venus Flytrap before. It died within a week. Wonder what went wrong?
V--
I’ve bought several Venus Flytraps in the past. I wonder why they all die? I feed it a little bit of hamburger just like the hardware store guy said…
V---
I keep Venus Flytraps in an enclosed terrarium in direct sunlight; I give them tap water that smells like a swimming pool; I feed them sausage and Coco Puffs; Dormancy is for wimps.
You can’t walk through my house without hitting your head against pitchers; My bicalcarata is taller than most of the trees in my neighborhood; That pesky squirrel problem has finally been solved by a dozen or so strategically-placed rajahs.

My house is starting to look like a jungle; I’ve managed to get quite a few “tough” species to pitcher; 90-degree days with 85% humidity make me happy.
N+
I’ve been growing Nepenthes for a while now; My “easy” species are doing great; The obsession is starting to grab hold of my soul.

I have a few ventricosas or alatas; nothing too fancy, but I do have a good place to put any ants I find in my kitchen.
N-
I’m just not that into Neps. Besides, my climate is way too dry/cold. But we can still be friends. I hope you understand.
N--
Yeah, I had one, but I was worried that it wasn’t getting enough humidity. So I stuck it in a water tray.
N---
Any Neps that come my way get repotted, into a mix I designed myself of clay and the sand they use for mixing concrete. Then I put them in my north-facing windowsill, right next to the air conditioner.
