To get my VFT leaves to turn red I whisper nasty things to it.

well, i only heard the water theory, and i noticed that when i touch a hair once everyday in one trap...that paticular trap becomes larger than all the rest, even when the trap started off at normal size. idk y it would happen with the eletrical theory, but it does make sence with the water theory...try it for yourself this summer...it worked for me
BTW...a toothpick workes best with this

Try a little experiment: do they toothpick trick on only half of the leaves. Using the same set of leaves each time. See if those grow bigger then the untreated ones. We'd be interested in the results so get yourself a digital camera.
I haven't the time nor the patience to try this myself.
I don't get the point of bothering with this at all.. Its not going to make the plant produce larger traps, only make the existing trap slightly bigger. I would rather just let my plants catch bugs and make the entire plant larger.
You mean they didn't enter them in contests for size?
Oh wait we are talking about VENUS fly traps. My bad
