   Here is the Orchid.
   It says it is a Phalaenopsis.
   
   
   Here is the Venus Fly-Trap.
   
   
   All I got to go on is the instructions on the back and they are pretty vague.
   If you have any suggestions please let me know.

   They make the instructions vague because they’re evil pricks

   Orchids don't go into soil, they've got some weird bark-chip like medium. They like a semi-shade, so not in bright sunlight.
   
   For watering put it into a bowl of water for an hour or so once a week, and allow it to dry out. Do not let it sit in water for long periods.
   
   Plants just need consistency. Most house plants die from overwatering, people put too much water on them and the roots just rot and drown. But don't forget to water them either.
   
   I have no idea about the venus fly trap, I've thought about getting one before, but they're a little pricy.

   Start by feeding it flies and slowly move up to bigger insects, then animals, then a child
   
   After a while you'll have a reliable way to dispose of bodies
