QUESTION: i have read that particular care sheet before(i have even bought great plants from those guys)i'm just interested in gathering info on other peoples personal experiences with growing the plant, for the sake of experimenting with what methods can be used to make this plant easier to cultivate

Answer
Yes I have had experiences. I used to have 23 carnivorous plants, 1/4 were cobra plants.  I had 2 venus flytraps, 2 different types of pitcher, and two types of sundews in one terrarium. I had the total of 4 terrariums. I love carnivorous plants. What about you?

Expertise

I can answer almost everything about carnivorous plants and how to care for them. This includes sundews, Pitcher plants, Venus fly trap, and other carnivores. I can not answer questions on bladderworts or butterworts. I don't know much about them. Enjoy Your Plants!

Experience

I have raised carnivores and I learned how to take care of them. I've had great success growing these fascinating plants.

Education/Credentials
I learned about these plants by doing research for months. I checked out books and went online. I actually did this to take care of my carnivorous plants myself but all this researching I did made me a great talent at it.
