- Baeocystin 3y agoVenus fly traps are surprisingly hardy and do fine indoors in a bright area or under a lamp, as long as you water them with distilled water only.
- phito 3y agoFlytraps are also outdoors plants, from the same region as Sarracenia (North America). They'll do fine for a while indoors given enough light but it's really not optimal.
- fho 3y agoNot in my experience, I had to start manually feeding my Venus fly traps. Otherwise they would die after some weeks. Never managed to keep one alive over winter.
- Baeocystin 3y agoVenus flytraps go dormant in the winter. Here's some info on their care: https://www.flytrapcare.com/venus-fly-trap-dormancy/ https://www.flytrapcare.com/venus-fly-trap-dormancy/
- phito 3y agoDrosera capensis is a fantastic plant for beginners. Very easy to grow if you follow simple rules. Mineral-free water (with a dish always filled under the pot), a LOT of sunlight (more than you think) and a peat-based media without any fertilizers.
