< Back Venus Fly Trap Plant Care Tips & Tricks Lighting: Venus Fly traps prefer high-light locations. A bright window facing South, West, or East where they will receive direct sun is ideal. If your VFT doesn’t receive enough bright light it will go dormant. Artificial lighting will allow plants to grow during the winter months. Artificial lighting should not exceed 500 w/m2 at leaf level. Irrigation: Keep growing medium moist at all times. Venus fly traps are bog plants. If allowed to dry they will go dormant. Water quality is most important to Venus Fly Traps. They like chemical-free water. Tap water must sit for 24 to 48 hours before it can be used for irrigation. Charcoal-filtered water (Brita or similar), Reverse Osmosis, rain water and distilled water are all good. Humidity: These plants thrive in an environment with higher moisture levels. You can add humidity around your plant by using a mister, pebble tray, or humidifier. Consider placing this plant in a kitchen or bathroom where humidity levels are higher. Fertilizer: A drop of fertilizer in the soil monthly during the spring summer months is recommended if not able to have access to insects. When it comes to fertilizer more is not better for your Venus fly trap. High salts will kill your Venus fly trap. Temperature: They grow best in the spring and summer months. Normal room temperature 20c to 21c. If allowed to cool, they will go dormant. Previous Next
