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.
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 (bubble wrap).
Carnivorous plant mix 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). Sphagnum moss is also suitable.
