(04/08/11) * Blow up a balloon. We kind of suggest not blowing it up to its maximum capacity so that it is rounder. * After the balloon is inflated to it's desired size draw a circle with the sharpie around the balloon knot just large enough to accommodate whatever lighting method you choose. Note: If you are just wanting to hang the balls or use them in a vase then you don't need to leave a hole at all! * You will need to prepare your work area by laying down a tarp. We hung a shower curtain between two chairs and suspended the balloons by it with string so we could have plenty of working room. * Mix corn starch, glue and warm water together until it's not lumpy (too bad getting rid of cellulite isn't this easy). * Smear the petroleum jelly all over your balloon until it is completely coated. Note: We specifically left using rubber gloves out of these instructions. You should get messy. If we were concerned about keeping your hands clean this would have been called the "loveliest, merriest and...See less

(04/07/11) Drosera filiformis, also called the thread leaf sundew, gets its name from its long, skinny, thread-like leaves. Each leaf is covered in small tentacles with tiny droplets of mucilage on each one. When an insect becomes stuck to a leaf, the leaf slowly curls around the trapped insect and digests it. Thread leaf sundews produce tall flower stalks with numerous showy, pink or white flowers. These plants are currently dormant, so while they don't look very impressive, they are very tolerant of shipping, and will return to growth in the Spring. | Product Details Grow in partial to full sun and keep damp year round. These plants become dormant in colder months, and die-back to tiny buds in the soil.See less

(04/07/11) The most important things to avoid: 1. Excessive heat. Keep indoor and especially domed or terrarium grown plants out of direct hot sun. 2. Low humidity. Keep well above 50%. If you live in a dry climate, you will not be able to grow these without a terrarium or humid enclosure. 3. Keeping your Venus Flytraps too wet for the amount of light it is getting. Plants that are kept too wet may rot. During the summer when kept outdoors, they can be kept very wet. Indoors they will require less water, but never let them dry out. 4. Excessive handling. As much as they may seem like pets, the more you handle them the more stressed they will be.See less
