How to water

Carnivorous plants love water and do not like to dry out at all. Feel the soil: it should be moist or slightly wet when watering it again. Always use mineral-free water when you water your carnivorous plants, such as rainwater or distilled water. Bottled and tap water contains too many minerals and can ‘over-fertilize’ or ‘burn’ your plant.

If the soil is wet - snooze this action, we will remind you again in 2 days.

Carnivore watering 1

Water over the soil

Make sure your pot has drainage holes, without these your plant runs the risk of rotting in the excess water that can’t drain out. — Planta tip

Carnivore watering 2

Bottom watering

Note

Bottom watering will not wash away salts and other minerals from the soil, so make sure to also give water over the soil every now and then.

Water bath

Venus fly traps love the perfect balance between wet and moist soil. They don’t like to dry out even once and they don’t want to be drowning in water, at least not all of the time. — Planta tip
