The Venus Fly Trap went dormant over the winter. now that spring is on the way the plant is starting to grow again... Looks like it should be transplanted.
I found this page in google.

Occasionally over the winter I would spot a spider in the house..
You can usually catch them and feed them to the plant.
After a few days the trap opens up and is ready for another bug.
We had one that did great all summer, I let it go dormant over the winter, but I don't have anything close to what you have. Holy cow!
Have you been feeding it bugs over the winter? Every so often if I found a spider I would feed an open trap.
I should cut the flower stalks off. I don't really want seeds and the stalk uses a lot of energy that the plant stored up.

That site recommends 1:1 mixture of Peat Moss and Perlite...
These were both available at Clinton and French...
$4.99 + $6.49
1:1 means an even mixture of both...
Mixed it up before wetting it down.
Used about a 1/3 of a gallon of distilled water. Filled six small pots but didn't pack the soil at all. Left it loose.
Snipped the flower stalks off as that site said to.
They recommended rooting compound. I have had the same container for years...
You just dip the end of the cut part of the stalk...
I put each stalk in about a 1/2" deep. The pots are sitting in at food tray that came from Wegman's filled with distilled water to keep the soil moist.
In a day or two re-pot the rest of the plant. I think there are 3 separate plants now..
