Mine is in sphagnum moss only. I let it sit in water 24/7 and only water with rain water or distilled water

Isn’t it bad for Venus fly traps to water them constantly?

#### Sinthea님이 2024-07-30에 답변했습니다.

No they are bog plants. They want water 24/7 to imitate a bog. Pitcher plants don’t want water 24/7

#### Predator plant lover님이 2024-07-30에 답변했습니다.

Really because the app said water it every three days

#### Sinthea님이 2024-07-30에 답변했습니다.

Just to make sure it has water but it’s definitely supposed to be sitting in water at all times

Also, I do mist my fly trip regularly

Don’t give it too much water

Okay I water mine every 3 days

There is really never such a thing as “too much water” for Venus flytraps

Water your Venus as often as you want, I water my when I touch it and if feels like it’s beginning to dry out. Honestly, its roots are always sopping wet, as in I keep the sphagnum moss dripping with distilled water almost constantly.

Venus fly traps are bog water plants, meaning their roots are CONSTANTLY wet, they HATE drying out.

When feeding traps only feed 1-2 at a time because you can over fertilize them. Changing the substrate to sphagnum moss is always a plus, it retains moisture without added risk of a ton of bugs like peat moss.

When it hits winter you need to put it outside because Venus flytraps go dormant during the winter. Without this dormancy you’ll see slower growth and eventually death of all traps and the whole plant. If they’re not allowed to rest they will exhaust and die.

Use rain water.Tap water kills them almost instantly.
