Hello, I own a Venus flytrap and it seems to be dying and I don’t understand why. It was watered yesterday and it was in sunlight for about 6 hours or so. Do we know what’s going on and how to revive it?

Can you leave tap water out 24 hours and use it? I heard any chlorine or fluoride would evaporate. Just wondering…..

MermaidPot in a non nutrient soil like peat moss, only distilled water and never fertilize. They like to stay evenly moist

Distilled or rainwater is best for carnivorous plants. Also make sure they’re in a substrate that does not have fertilizer or nutrients. Place the pot in a dish of water. Keep refilling when the water is low. Good luck!

DanaCurioWhat type of water are you using? How much sunlight? VFT must have rainwater or distilled water ONLY. RO/DI or air conditioner condensation is ok too. These guys have very sensitive roots, and salts, minerals, fertilizers will kill them. Sunlight 4-6 hours direct sun or 12-14 hrs full spectrum grow light is best. Be sure to allow the plant to go dormant in the winter!

Thank you! I was using tap water but now I know that’s a no-go. I’ll make sure to do the rest. I appreciate your help.

You’re welcome! Be sure to top water with the clean water to rinse out any buildup in the soil from the tap water! Flush it out really good
