I just got a Venus Flytrap from TraderJoe. Is there any secret to growing these so they live long and prosper?

Crap soil? That sounds counter intuitive.

@YouInMyEye they grow in swamps, marshland that is nutrient poor - hence eating bugs - and boggy water.

Ah... So I need a good supply of flies. I'm planning to bring some potted plants in from outside so I should have a whole lot of gnats....
