Enjoys or suffers cold winters
I finally got a Venus Flytrap! So excited!

First of all, I do realize I should water them. On the tiny instruction following, it says it always have to be wet and the people at the flower store clearly haven't given them too much attention.. But I also realize they have a lot of flowers and it's a lot to keep up with..

I don't know a lot about these, I did some research two years ago, when I decided I wanted some.. But they had none in my town and I got busy, but today I randomly saw them at the store and just had to get one..

I have a couple of succulents that was in a way too small pot and had gotten "wounds".. I can't see any of the flytrap, but they are hanging a lot over the edge and my anxiety keeps kicking in..

Do they naturally lay down like this? If so, should I repot them and give them more space?
They seem to overlap and some of the smaller traps have been forced shut under the weight of the others..

There's also some old, deas traps under, plus some traps that seems to be dying, should I remove them?

How do I water it? Soak it or spray? The manual said not to get the traps wet?

I live in the artic and the first frost came today, so I can"t have it outside.. Maybe I could eventually take it out in the summer on warm days.. But I can keep it in my room, as long as it's by the heater?
