Maintenance of the Venus flytrap

Dionaea muscipula and watering

Use only rainwater, demineralized water, or reverse osmosis water. Water that is too hard (high in calcium) will kill the plant within a few weeks. Do not use bottled water, as it generally contains too many salts, which are harmful to the plant. In summer, place the plant in a large saucer filled with water. In winter, keep the potting mix moist.

Temperature and Dionaea muscipula

In summer, the Venus flytrap thrives in temperatures above 30°C. However, do not exceed 45°C. In winter, place the carnivorous plant in a bright room for at least three months (generally from November/December to March/April) where the temperature can vary between 0 and 15°C. It can withstand frost. Below -5°C, be sure to use a large container and protect it with bubble wrap.

Substrate for Dionaea muscipula

Carnivorous plant mix is the basic substrate for many species; you can make it yourself by mixing blonde peat , perlite , and vermiculite (4:1:1:1 ratio), or blonde peat and non-calcareous aquarium sand (2:1:1 ratio). Sphagnum moss is also suitable.
