WINTER: Please note temperate plants are dormant and will not look the same as pictured. Do not forget a heatpack if your temps are low! Especially for tropicals!



Dionaea muscipula (Venus Flytrap) Care

Posted by Vincent Green on

Water:

Distilled, Reverse Osmosis, Rain or water with TDS under 100.

Keep media moist, the pot can sit in water so as to need little maintenance.

Light:

High light, these plants should receive around 6-8 hours of direct sunlight.

Most cultivars will redden up inside the traps.

Temp:

These plants are temperate, they stay outside during winter time as long as temps are over 25F. During winter they will go dormant, if you live in a harsh frozen zone, put them in a covered area such as a basement and bring them back out when it warms up a little.

Media:

Pure Long Fiber Sphagnum Moss (LFSM), LFSM + Perlite or Peat + Perlite.

I prefer peat + perlite for my Venus Flytraps.
