Venus Fly Trap 10cm
Venus Fly Traps secrete sweet nectar to attract insects. When hairs on the traps are touched the trap will close. The prey will be digested over the next week or two, at which point the trap will reopen.
While winter may be a time for carnivorous plants to get some rest, correct care during this season is crucial.
Dormant during the winter, mature Venus Fly Traps will shed their leaves and require less water. Keep a saucer underneath the pot but reduce the amount of water contained, watering from time to time from the top down.
Temperatures as low as 10 degrees C are acceptable with anything from 21 to 32 degrees okay during summer. If temperatures are lower than advised, trim the dried leaves and spread a small amount of fungicide on the plant. Wrap the bulb in sphagnum moss and put it in the fridge inside a sealed, transparent plastic bag. Return the Venus Fly Trap to its pot in spring.
Bright light is a must approximately 3 hours of direct sunlight per day is ideal. Morning or afternoon sunlight is preferable over midday sun which can cause burning in summer.
Remember to remove plants when using fly spray and never feed a Venus Fly Trap insects killed by spray. Use tweezers when feeding with insects and never try feeding if two or more traps are closed.
And please, remind clever clogs children never put their fingers into the traps as the plants will become exhausted and die.
