The only problem is that they take 3 years or so to mature. If you are really ambitious, propagation through plant tissue culture can give you a large amount of plants using a single leaf if done correctly. In the end, the most simple method is already described by ummm. You may want to use a rooting hormone to help the leaf root faster.Aaron LeeSat, 17 Dec 2011 23:45:20 -0000http://www.myvenusflytrap.com/#comment-389059815I know it's a year late, but maybe you still want to know. I'm assuming it's winter time during Christmas for you, so the plant should be going dormant. Keep it somewhere with temperatures that doesn't go below 0 above 13 degrees C for too long until spring arrives. It's best to let it have natural light during it's dormancy to keep it as healthy as possible. Supplement it with a max of 10 hours under artificial lights (with 0-13C) if you cannot find a spot to place it where it gets the right temp and natural light.Aaron LeeSat, 17 Dec 2011 23:29:23 -0000http://www.myvenusflytrap.com/help-guides/dormancy/#comment-325418196i live in a area that has 7 very cold months. is it ok to keep the plant inside that long?seggiedenMon, 03 Oct 2011 03:42:06 -0000http://www.myvenusflytrap.com/help-guides/dormancy/#comment-325417706i live in a area where we have 7 very cold months in a year. is it ok for the plant to be left inside that long?seggiedenMon, 03 Oct 2011 03:39:18 -0000http://www.myvenusflytrap.com/#comment-325135594every spring i buy a flytrap and it grows huge on my kitchen window in the sun and eats loads of flys. but i cannot seem to overwinter it. once the windowsill gets chilly the plant goes black and appears to die. i did keep one until the spring once but it started growing again with only tiny traps then died. any advice? i would love to keep it longer than a yeardebbieSun, 02 Oct 2011 15:25:47 -0000http://www.myvenusflytrap.com/#comment-321245825Hit it twice with a bag full of quarters.Elaine SmartTue, 27 Sep 2011 19:20:41 -0000http://www.myvenusflytrap.com/#comment-304327513я в Казахстане, как заказать партию растений?Xeniya ShemetWed, 07 Sep 2011 13:24:49 -0000http://www.myvenusflytrap.com/help-guides/general-care/#comment-281225644"This is one of the most frequently asked questions ever. I’ll put it simply, Each trap can only catch so many insects before its job is done and it can return to the soil. Why spoil a plants perfectly natural life? let it catch the bugs it wants. It will have to grow larger and prettier to increase it’s chances of feeding and to us that’s what usually defines a good looking plant, big full traps."<br><br>Does that not explain?Daz KeirleTue, 09 Aug 2011 10:01:00 -0000http://www.myvenusflytrap.com/help-guides/general-care/#comment-281170460i am thinking about getting 1 but every site I've been on has said something different like that u can buy worms and must feed them it or u can buy caterpillars and can feed them when theres no flies and loads more can some1 plz tell me wots right????amycoulthard11Tue, 09 Aug 2011 08:40:15 -0000http://www.myvenusflytrap.com/faqs/general-vft-questions/what-does-my-venus-flytrap-need-to-grow-and-be-healthy/#comment-280312531will my plant still grow cos when i plated the seeds they were a kit with no instruction so i planted them and used tap water it has stered to grow but will it be ok now that iam useing rain waterstumpyelephantsMon, 08 Aug 2011 05:04:25 -0000http://www.myvenusflytrap.com/faqs/general-vft-questions/what-does-my-venus-flytrap-need-to-grow-and-be-healthy/#comment-280311424will my plant still grow cos when i planted the seeds they came in a kit with no instruction apart form plat seeds and add water so i used tap water. it started to grow but now useing rain water. will it be okstumpyelephantsMon, 08 Aug 2011 04:58:59 -0000http://www.myvenusflytrap.com/faqs/planting-and-general-care/should-i-feed-my-venus-flytrap/#comment-270965816How much water do they need??
