I have.

I do not have one, but I believe that they like a sandy soil mixture, with perlite, sand, and maybe vermiculite mixed with peat. This mixture allows for the good drainage that dewy pines prefer. Don't put these in standing water. Also, give it full sun if possible. Not sure if they need dormancy, but I don't think so.

Again, this is just what I remember, so you might want to double check somewhere else, first. Or, when I get home from work I'll check out some of the books I have.

I have, I have saw it, looks cool.

leaves are covered with tentacles. On top of the tentacles there is a glad that produces the "glue" used to trap the insects that land on the leaves. The glue is very thick and sticky, and unlike the sundews, this glue pulls off the glands and sticks to the insect covering it's body and suffocating it. Sessile glands along the leafs surface secrete acids and enzymes which dissolve the insect.

The leaf then reabsorb the nutrient rich fluid and after a few days the insect is digested leaving it's hard outer shell, the exoskeleton.

Aparantly the only way to grow it is from seed.

they are also wooden plants as well as soft plants as you see they are very sensitive and feminen and they needs heaps of water to grow they also need to obsorb loads of nutrients because they can live for a long time and die easily so look after them if you were to buy them.
