Just got 3 plants at Lowe’s today! Any tips? I have a Venus fly trap, a dracaena mass cane (corn plant) and a red banana croton!

Awesom! the Venus fly trap watch a video on it and how to take care of them. I do know they’re bog plant and are native to North and South Carolina

unfortunately, venus fly traps from big box stores like lowes are not cared for very well and are highly likely to die, no matter if you have perfect care :-( they require distilled water and nutrient-poor soil like sphagnum moss. crotons are very, very fussy, and are prone to spider mites. mine does well in front if my east-facing window, but they are slow growers indoors. i hear good things about dracaena but i don't personally have one

I bought my Venus fly traps at Lowe’s and they are finally doing well. They need non nutrient soil like peat moss, they like to stay damp but not water logged, distilled water only, never fertilize. Do not hand feed them like so many people think they need. Very advanced plant, took me 3 times to get it right.

Currently on my second Venus fly trap 😭 royal pains to care for, best of luck! I got mine from a small local plant shop so here’s hoping it doesn’t just die! The lady told me to set the pot in a plate of water and make sure it’s always full, she was very specific that it can’t dry out. Not sure if there’s a better way, but it looked great when I bought it, and it hasn’t started to die yet so fingers crossed!
