Have just bought my daughter one of these. She is always moaning about flies in her room in the summer. She can't spray fly killer, as she has canaries in there.


She sees me on here, and has asked me to see if anyone knows what insects the plant will eat, and how best to keep the plant alive.


many thanks.....an exasperated mother..!!!!

thanks Toureman....that's kept her quiet for a bit!!!!
I suggest old fashioned sticky fly paper - you'll catch more flies that way than a flytrap can eat, and the canaries won't be affected.

Thanks Kingaroo. She has used the lamps before to attract flies, will give the sticky fly paper a go.
