This plant loves bugs, literally! Venus Fly Traps are carnivorous plants that trap bugs in their cute, tiny little jaws lol. VFT don't require additional sustenance or fertilizer as they get most of their protein from the bugs they consume. They grow best in Sphagnum moss, which retains moisture. City water might not be best to use when watering your plant. The chemicals in the water may be too harsh for the plant. Instead, use distilled water or allow the tap water to sit out overnight before watering the plant.
