My boyfriend loves the idea of a plant that can eat flies, so i thought this would be a brilliant gift for him, although his face filled with glee just like a little boy on christmas day, however i have found that the gift didnt work as well as planned, it seemed as if it was working then, it started to show signes of mould on the top, and this rappidly got worse. its not too much of a problem as, it wasn't expensive, and i now have the memory of his face in my mind. Thanks for all the fun IWOOT!!!
