The Venus Flytrap does not like lime and prefers to be watered with rainwater or tap water that has been boiled and cooled. The soil can be constantly moist since it originally grows in swamp-like areas. It isn't necessary to give plant food, in fact, too much food is bad for this plant. You may notice the Venus Flytrap lose some of its leaves in winter, but it'll be up and running again in the spring!
