    hi VFT fans,

    I bought one yesterday from a gardening store. It looked alot healthier than some of the ones I have seen for sale in other plant stores. In fact, I had never bought one until now because they looked so sick and weak. This one looked ok. It was in a tray of 1cm water and seems ok.
    I plan to keep it indoors, is this ok? I could keep it in natural light at home, or in an office with natural/tube overhead light. Is it ok in a tray of 1cm water or should I get stones or something. Im pretty sure the bulb is out of water and its just the base soil in the pot that is in the water. I have not "sprung the traps" or tried to "feed it" or anything like that. would be nice to see the trap spring though, but I'll leave it for now till I understand more about the plant and ensure it is healthy.

    How do you all keep them? outdoors on a sil, indoors on a sil? etc.
    Im in Ireland so getting rainwater is not going to be a problem if its outside. :)

    here is is
