Sorry for that !!

They are no secret about dionaea. They need cool day and night(24/17C), full sun, a airy and drained soil mix and crystal clear water, no tap water. The relative humidity is not a major point with dionaeas, i grow mine in 40%.

So here the main lines to make your lil guy happy for years:

-Distilled (0ppm) water only

-Soil always moist, not wet. Never let it dryout.

-Airy acid soil mix(example 33/33/33 peat moss/perlite/oak chunks). (No nutrients, these plants grow in very poor and acid soil, thats why they are carnivorous).

-Full sun or strong T5 tubes.

-No feeding is needed, but it can help. (Insects only, no meat).

Hope this help ! :)
