A Venus Flytrap “is” a hydroponic plant. They grow in wet areas lacking nutrients, hence their need to get nutrients from trapping insects. If you grow them hydro you must not add any nutrients to the water. If you do, it will burn the roots and the plant will die. You can leave the soil on in this one instance. Other insectivores might work in the same set-up. RScott
