Temperature
In summer, the Venus flytrap is very comfortable with temperatures above 30°C. However, do not exceed 45°C. In winter, place the carnivorous plant for at least three months (generally from November-December to March-April) in a bright room where the temperature can vary from 0 to 15°C. It tolerates frost. Below -5°C, be sure to use a large container and protect it.
Water
Use only rainwater, demineralized or osmosis . Water that is too hard will cause the plant to die in a few weeks. Do not use bottled water, it generally contains too much salt, which is harmful to the plant. In summer, place the plant in a large saucer with water. In winter, keep the substrate moist.Fertilizer
To be totally avoided ! The Dionaea provides its own organic nutrient needs through these traps. The digestion of captured prey lasts from one to two weeks depending on the size of the insect.Brightness
Strong light, behind a south- facing window for example, is sufficient. In summer, do not hesitate to place the Venus flytrap in full sunlight .Substrate
The mixture for carnivorous plants is the basic substrate for many species, you can make it yourself by mixing blond peat, perlite and vermiculite , (4V/1V/1V) or blond peat , and non-calcareous aquarium sand (2V/1V). Dehydrated sphagnum moss is also perfectly suitable.
