What do I feed my venus fly trap?
There really is no need to ever feed your Venus Flytrap. In fact, you really shouldn’t feed your plant at all. You should grow it in a sunny location and let it catch its own food. If it’s winter time, then they wouldn’t be eating in their natural habitat anyway. Venus Flytraps get all the nutrition they need from sunlight. They are green plants, which means that they can perform photosynthesis. Giving your plant at least 4 hours of direct sunlight a day is FAR MORE IMPORTANT than feeding it insects. In fact, if your plant got at least 4 hours of sunlight a day and never caught another insect, it would be a very healthy plant. In case you are new to caring for Venus flytraps, I’ll give you some pointers. There are really only 4 things Venus Fly Traps require to stay healthy: 1) Sunlight – at least 4 hours of direct sunlight a day 2) Water – rain, distilled or reverse osmosis water only 3) Soil – Nutrient poor soil such as peat moss 4) Dormancy – Venus Fly Traps require a 3-4 month dorm
