What a find! What kind of care does it need? Low light? Water? How many bugs per day/week/month?

I used to have a few of these and like you I got them from Walmart. So yea I know how they take care of them. Good luck with it and enjoy it when you see it catch a fly.

FEED ME!!!

I bought one a few years ago, but I don't think it ever caught anything. I would love to get another and try again. Carnivorous plants are fascinating...

It can't have anything. But distilled water and you can only feed it twice a week at most or it will go into. Shock and most likely. Die.

That's what Lowes told me to do when I got mine, and It died, and you have to use distilled water or rain water to water it, and you might actually have to catch flies to feed to it on occasion. And also don't stick your finger into the plant to watch its "MOUTH" close, the oils from your skin can kill the plant, and also it uses a lot of energy closing it's "MOUTH" as well so forcing it too close it's mouth is no good.
