Old farrier Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 Stop trying to feed it and repot it with very sandy compost then stand on a gravel tray keep the gravel wet (rain water) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTaylor91 Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 I grew one of these that ended up like a bush. Always kept well watered and used water from the condenser clothes dryer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are back down to a washing line, it is however a snazzy retractable one, fancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Prawn Posted September 13, 2020 Report Share Posted September 13, 2020 Also don’t forget they won’t feed on dead items either, they need a stimulus to close the trap (two touches on the inner hairs) and then once it’s closed it needs a further stimulus of movement inside to provoke the digestive response - otherwise it opens up again assuming it’s just debris fallen in water mine with water but rainwater and it is loving life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
