Would a venus fly trap be able to do photosynthesis with house light/electricity?
Yes, Venus fly traps can grow well under artificial lighting. I grow many of my flytraps that I take out of tissue culture under artificial lights to get them started. Then I move them out into the greenhouse for a while before introducing them to full sunlight. In case you’re new to growing flytraps, here are the basic 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 dormancy period Venus fly traps like lots of light. Try to give it at least 4 hours of direct sunlight a day. The more you can give it the better. It is best to grow your fly trap outside where it can get plenty of sun and catch its own food. You don’t actually have to feed a Venus Fly Trap anything other than sunlight and water. If you do choose to feed it, it only needs a few bugs a month and don’t feed it anything
