Venus flytraps (Dionaea muscipula) are fascinating carnivorous plants native to the subtropical wetlands of the southeastern United States, particularly in North and South Carolina. Known for their unique ability to trap and digest insects, these plants thrive in specific conditions. When caring for a Venus flytrap, it's crucial to mimic its natural habitat as closely as possible.

Venus Fly Trap Plant Care

Watering

Watering should be done using distilled water or rainwater, as tap water may contain minerals that harm the plant. Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging, ensuring good drainage by planting it in a pot with drainage holes.

Light

Venus flytraps require plenty of bright, indirect sunlight, so placing them near a south or west-facing window is ideal.

Temperature

They thrive in temperatures between 70°F to 80°F (21°C to 27°C) during the day and a bit cooler at night.

Soil Mix

The soil mix should be acidic, such as a blend of peat moss and perlite, providing the necessary nutrients without overwhelming the plant.

Humidity

High humidity levels are essential, so consider placing the pot on a tray filled with water and pebbles or using a humidifier.

Fertilizer

Avoid fertilizing Venus flytraps with typical houseplant fertilizers, as they obtain nutrients from capturing and digesting insects.

Toxicity

Lastly, while Venus flytraps are not highly toxic to humans, ingesting any part of the plant can cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort, so it's best to keep them out of reach of pets and children.

Testimonials

★★★★★
This shop has great customer service. Although they mainly sell pots they also have a few plants to sell. I bought one of these plants and it shipped very fast. The plant I received is beautiful but it was the wrong plant. I contacted the shop right away. I told them I will keep the plant but I’d still want to buy the one I wanted. The plant I wanted also cost less so I offered to pay the difference too. The shop apologized for the mistake and said they will send the right plant right away and to keep the plant i already received. I thought that was awesome, thoughtful and very professional and that goes a long way. Thank you so much and I really appreciate that.

Simply a beautiful and artistic Peety pot. Will be the pot for an Adenia metamorpha and the two will definitely display awesome artistry.
