General Venus Flytrap Care
• Light: Full sun (6+ hours daily). Direct sunlight encourages best coloration and growth.
• Water: Use only distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis water. Keep soil damp but not waterlogged.
• Soil: Our very own carnivorous plant mix is recommended!
• Feeding: Feed only live insects or allow plant to catch its own prey. We recommend our live fruit flies or captive-bred roaches as ideal feeders.
• Dormancy: Requires a winter dormancy period (approx. Nov–Feb). Reduce watering and sunlight.
• Potting: Repot every 1–2 years to refresh medium and prevent compaction.
