Also wanted to post about my Venus flytrap. I know they’re difficult to take care of, but I’ve been doing my best to water it consistently and keep it out of sunlight. It’s struggling to keep going, what should I do?

I just looked it up and it says it needs distilled, RO or rainwater. All these different plants are so picky!!! I think my spider plant wants distilled and I haven’t tried it yet.

What kind of soil you are using? It needs full sun, you can put it in a container with a lid to increase humidity.

I am not sure if we can save yours. If you put in a container and place it in full sun

Oh okay I like that idea! I just have the peat moss and whatever was in it when I bought it - maybe time for a resoil. Also I thought Venus plants didn’t like sun but I’ll see how this one responds to it! Thanks!

"I'm really into Venus flytraps! I bought a tiny one from Walmart three years ago, and now I’ve propagated it into four more pots from the same mother plant. It’s always been on a windowsill with over 8 hours of direct sunlight. I use Sunrise Carnivorous Plant Soil and keep it in a container with holes in the lid for ventilation. The container sweats, so I know it stays humid. I only water it when I no longer see condensation—overwatering can cause black traps, which is a sign of too much moisture. These plants love the sun, so give them plenty of light!"

GaryBI have mine permanently in a bowl of rainwater which is changed every week. It’s in the sunniest spot in the house (although this is the UK in winter 😂) It has three flowers that have shot up in the last week or so.

Wow nice! if you want to propagate it you can cut the flower stalk and place it in moist venus soil. You might see tiny new venus. I got mine after couple of months.
