Pot info for Venus Fly Trap

16 years ago

Hello everyone. I bought a VFT several weeks ago and it seems to be doing well. We have fed it a couple of bugs and learned about not feeding ones too large. It sits on my kitchen window sill, it gets alot of sun. It's the window the bird's cage sits in front of too, they both just soak it up! :) And I have been using distilled water for the plant. My question is this, my boyfriend was so convinced this plant needed a self watering type of pot due to the directions on the tag stated to turn the clear plastic part of the cup upside down fill with water and place the other piece down inside. Very similar to the self waters of course. Is this a bad pot type decision for these plants? My boyfriend is enthralled with the plant and I want to be able to keep the plant healthy and happy! Any info would be so greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!
