What you need:

  • Light and warm place
  • water
  • Plant sprayer

Maintain and water the Venus flytrap 

  • For the successful cultivation of the plant, the right location is just as crucial as watering. It gets enough light from its place by the window.
  • The thirsty Venus flytrap needs enough water. Since it absorbs most of the moisture with the roots, it is best to place the flower pot on a deep saucer and water over it.
  • Distilled or lime-free water is most suitable. You can also simply collect rainwater and use it. For the humidity and well-being of Dionaea muscipul, you should regularly spray them with water.
  • The dormant period begins in October and the carnivore must not remain outdoors under any circumstances. Place it in an environment with mild temperatures of around 20 degrees. And water just enough so that it cannot dry up.

What else is important in breeding

  • If the Venus flytrap has wintered well with a suitable location and proper watering, but still only forms small traps, this may be due to the lack of energy supply. Slow down the bloom by cutting off the flowers before they are finally formed.
  • Repot the Venus flytrap

    The Venus flytrap as a carnivorous plant should be in the right place ...

  • Unfortunately, it happens again and again that the plant is fed and the traps are also animated to move. You should refrain from interfering with natural development in this way. The flytrap supplies itself with sufficient nutrients, and irritation causes it to wither and breeding to fail.

If you plan to multiply the mother plant, simply divide the cuttings, plant them in appropriate soil and water them. You can also take the seeds of the plant, sow them and only lightly cover them with soil.
