Planting Instructions

Growing Medium: Plant seeds in a well-draining, acidic soil mix or sphagnum moss to mimic their natural habitat.
-
Sowing: Scatter seeds on the soil surface and press them lightly into the growing medium. Keep seeds evenly spaced to prevent overcrowding.
-
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Use distilled or rainwater to avoid mineral buildup.
-
Germination: Venus Flytrap seeds typically germinate within 4-6 weeks under warm, humid conditions. Provide bottom heat if possible to expedite germination.
Growing and Care
-
Sunlight: Venus Flytraps thrive in bright, indirect light. Place them near a sunny window indoors or in a partially shaded area outdoors.
-
Humidity: Maintain high humidity levels (50-70%) around Venus Flytraps by placing them on a humidity tray or using a room humidifier.
-
Watering: Water Venus Flytraps with distilled or rainwater regularly to keep the soil consistently moist. Avoid tap water, which may contain minerals harmful to carnivorous plants.
-
Feeding: Allow Venus Flytraps to catch insects naturally, but you can supplement their diet with occasional feedings of small insects like fruit flies or ants.
-
Dormancy: In winter, Venus Flytraps enter a dormancy period where growth slows. Reduce watering and provide cooler temperatures (50-55°F) to simulate their natural winter conditions.
