I just looked up the other day how to take care of the venus flytrap my son insisted we buy. It said it needs poor soil, do not fertilize it, and that they get their nutrients from their prey (and should be fed if kept indoors).

Plant it in peat moss mixed with sand and only water with distilled water or rainwater. It needs a lot of light too, so keep it near a south facing window

Most of us don't have to worry about that.
