How to care for a Venus Fly Trap plant

Venus flytraps are native to North Carolina and South Carolina!

Low air purifier.

Not toxic... phew!

We recommend keeping the soil moist at all times. It is important to use distilled or rain water.

They thrive in bright indirect sunlight.

In order for this amigo to digest prey, it is important to stimulate the trigger hairs, after the trap closes. The reason why this is important, is because you wont want your plant wasting energy in digesting non-edible matter that may have landed in the trap. You can do this gently, using a toothpick (or anything similar).

Repot your amigo once a year

Older traps will turn black (this is totally normal), as they are replaced with new ones. Carefully remove old leaves/traps as they turn black.

Keep an eye out for aphids and fungus gnats! Try to avoid feeding your flytrap an insect that are too large, as they won't be able to digest it. This will cause the insect to rot, which causes the trap to blacken.
