If you have just gotten or are going to get a Venus Flytrap, you are in luck! They are one of the easiest carnivorous plants to grow! In fact, they do poorly when they are given too much attention.
Venus flytrap plants thrive with:
- High Humidity. If you keep your plants roots moist and make it a nice home in a terrarium, aquarium or fish bowl, this should create the perfect amount of humidity. If you need more, just spray a fine mist of distilled water over your plant daily. Make sure your container (terrarium) has a small opening for air to circulate.
- Poor acidic soil. Do not add fertilizer.
- Full Sunlight 6-8 hours a day. Be careful here. If your Venus Flytrap starts to wilt, you may need to reduce the amount of hours it is in the sunlight. Of course, this does not apply during dormancy.
- Feed it a live bug (or a dead one, but you will have to mimic life) now and then. Your flytrap may need one or two bugs a month, that is it.
