  • If you do feed your flytrap, another important thing to remember is not to give it a bug that's too big. The insect shouldn't be bigger than about 2/5 of the trap, or less than 1/2, just over 1/3 really. If the bug is too big, it's prone to rot and kill the trap before its fully digested.

    • Sometimes, they catch things they shouldn’t. Several weeks ago, one of mine caught a slug. About a third of the slug remained outside the trap. Yes, the trap died, but the plant is fine. A particularly large trap snagged a bald-faced hornet. I watched as it chewed its way out. That happens commonly with Sarracenias.

  • I have had a Venus Flytrap since 1970 which has proliferated. I live in northern Germany, which has a different climate than Wilmington. I water them with osmosis water and use white peat or Leucobryum glaucum as substrate. She is still alive today. Due to the many offshoots, I was able to experiment with their hibernation. I can't hibernate her outside because she freezes to death because of the very wet winters and has a lot of stress from the changing temperatures. Severe frosts and thaws alternate constantly. It also does not survive a period of rest in a frost-free cellar. Consequently, I cultivate them at 20° to 25°C. It forms very wide leaf blades in winter to capture more light. With a rest period, it recovers very poorly in the spring, since the winters are very long here. This leads to the death of the plant. Without a rest period with artificial lighting, I have very good results! Since I mixed the white peat with quartz sand, mineral salts are slowly released into the substrate. This increases the conductance to approx. 200 micro Siemens, so that the mineral salts occasionally have to be rinsed out with osmosis water. The plants are still very vigorous for me, even if the cultivation conditions are different according to the circumstances. There is very little sunshine in northern Germany, so the plant is kept outdoors from mid-May to October.

    • Thank you for watching the video! We don't have any experience with indoor cultivation of outdoor perennials, and that's not our focus. Since we're in the United States, we grow these plants outdoors and encourage our customers to do the same. But, you seem to have found a method that works for you. By all means, keep doing it.

    • Another way to hibernate is to put them in the refridgerator. When I lived in Michigan, I would dig mine out of their pots each fall,, gently wash of the soil in rain water bucket I had, then placed each variety in a ziplock plastic baggie labeled with the variety name and I would put it in a box or put it in one of the refridgerator compartments in the spare refridgerator in our garage. I had about 12 bags of traps, there were quite a few, and they were full. I did this for a number of years. I live in a hot and humid climate now, further south than N & S Carolina.. where they come from. in Central Florida. I keep them outdoors year round and dont have to worry about them other than repotting them every 2 years.

  • The basic issue is new growers tend to try and “baby” their new VFT, when they are actually incredibly hardy. Just make sure they’re ALWAYS moist in spring and summer, give them as much full sun as you can, and at the start of spring give them a spray of imidaclorprid to prevent aphid infestations. That’s all I do and I’ve had the same pot of batch VFTs for over a decade, have to throw out a handful of bulbs every spring though.

    • Thank you for watching the video! I appreciate your insight and totally agree with you. Part of babying flytraps stems from a misunderstanding of the general nature of these plants. Hopefully this video gives growers better information to be more successful. We have more videos in the works. Stay tuned!

  • I´ve never managed to keep those plants alive.....now I know why. The sunlight......I always had them in my dark flat and it´s a shame that they sell them as indoor plants here. Like WCiossek writes in this comment section, it is possible to keep this species alive even here in Germany, but it´s a complicated thing. I won´t try it again. We should always inform, what a plant or an animal needs, before we take it under our custody and ask ourselves, if we can provide it. This are living creatures.

  • I love "Your flytrap doesn't care what you think." 😆 I have also made all of these mistakes. I did eventually find out that they prefer to be outdoors, and I usually water everything with rainwater, but I didn't know about their sunlight needs, or anything else. I might finally be able to keep a baby flytrap alive. What I'd like to know, though, is why growers don't ever include this information on the plants they send to nurseries. It looks like they really don't care if all of those plants die, so you have to go out and buy a new one every year. How irresponsible. 😠

  • I can speak to its presence in South Georgia 40 years ago. I've seen multiple specimens growing in planted pine forests as far south as 5 miles north of the Florida state line. The specific areas where I've seen them were near swampy areas or fresh water bogs. Where the natural soil is high in peat and sand. There's very little clay, and the topsoil is pretty thin, so when you wander near old swamps, the topsoil is replaced with peat, with the sand substrate.

    • I'm in Phoenix and mine are outside and doing great. They survived their first winter and never went completely dormant. There getting lots of new trap now. They don't get full sun all day though, but maybe 15-20 minutes of direct morning sun. They're on a South covered patio where the morning sun slowly sweeps the patio. We'll see how they fair with our summers.

  • As a kid it was always a treat when my mom would buy me one from the supermarket. Of course it didn't last long, inside under the plastic cup that was on top. Venus Flytrap has always been one of my favorites. Brings back good memories.

  • Hi Jacob, just want to say what a great video you made. It is very clear and informative. I have just bought my first fly trap and sundew at The Hampton Court flower show England and feel much more confident about caring for them. I shall put them in the garden for the light but I have liked to admire them on my window sill whilst washing up hoping to see the trap in action! Thanks Terence

  • Thank You for posting this video! I was under the impression that the Flytrap was a tropical plant and never put it outside. I bought them at a lowes depot and would water them with tap water, not knowing that they thrive on distilled water. No wonder my Flytraps never lasted that long. You have educated myself and many others who I am sure were just as ignorant as I was.
