As a follow up to James comments I would say that water quality is of utmost importance. When I lived in Portland, OR with its soft mineral free municipal water I could grow any carnivore, and Disa orchids grew like weeds. Now, just over the Columbia River in Vancouver with its mineral laden well water all of these were ready to perish. If you are in the same situation the only way to grow Dionaea, etc is with distilled water or collected rain water.
