Venus flytraps are small carnivorous plants that grow in subtropical climates in nutrient poor soil.
Lots of water. The plant is a freshwater marsh plant and is used to soil that is fully saturated with water. Use of standard "flower pots" with a drain hole in the bottom will cause a flytrap to get too dry and it will die.

Venus Flytraps should constantly be in poor, moist soil. I use New Zealand Long Fibered Sphagnum Moss, as it can hold 20 times its weight in water (It's like a big sponge!) Distilled water, with no additives, or carefully purified water from home is good. Collecting rainwater isn't a bad idea, either.
