I bought 6 different cultivars of Venus Fly trap some months ago from a reputable supplier here in Australia, they arrived in the mail bare rooted & wrapped in moist sphagnum moss. All were large healthy plants and I planted them in a terrarium as soon as I got them out of the packaging. They are still going strong but all plants are trying to flower. I cut the flower stem off each plant as soon as I could reach it with scissors...so before it got 1/2" high. Although I have removed the flower bud and a good portion of the stem on each plant, the remainder of the stem keeps on growing and I am getting more flower stalks next to the ones that I have cut off!!! These vicous little buggers just don't know when to stop flowering. Any ideas......anyone???
