How to feed Venus’ Flytraps Feeding these interesting species of plants can be difficult. A normal plants’ food would consist of WATER, C02, and LIGHT. These things are very beneficial to ALL plants, but the Venus’ Flytrap has another great recourse. These biting plants loathe nutrient-rich soil and water, mainly because they can “OVER-FERTILIZE” or “BURN” your Venus’ Flytrap’s roots. Because of this occurring, Venus’ Flytraps need to get their nutrients from somewhere… but where? Not where, but WHAT? What do they get their protein and nutrients from? BUGS! Yes, that’s right, bugs! How do your traps get those bugs, you ask? Well, each trap, or “MOUTH” has six little “TRIGGER HAIRS” as we call them, 3 on each side. When a bug flies or crawls into the Venus’ Flytrap’s mouth, they must strike two hairs, or one, twice quick. When or if they do, the trap will SNAP! If the trap doesn’t open in 30 minutes, DO NOT WORRY! It will take almost a week in order for them to open back up. Please do not stick your finger in the trap, because it wastes valuable energy. EACH “MOUTH” CAN ONLY EAT 4 TIMES BEFORE IT DIES, so triggering a “FALSE ALARM” will over time, kill the single trap. Now, onto how to feed your Venus’ Flytrap dead bugs. I do not recommend feeding your plant dead bugs, as it is a difficult process. But many do not like handling live bugs, so it is an option. Drop the dead bug into the trap, and then touch two of the hairs inside quickly. For a minute or two after the trap closes, lightly massage the trap. (Another reason I do not like feeding my traps dead bugs is because of this. Over time, this can bruise the leaves.) Come back every 1 minute for the next 10 and for 30 seconds, massage the leaves. If your trap opens up after or within a day, the digestion has been unsuccessful. You may have to try again, or just get used to feeding your trap live bugs. Feeding is only necessary if your Venus’ Flytrap is indoors, as it can catch it’s own outdoors. Hope you have luck with your existing or future Venus’ Flytrap!

I am in love with my new cabinet. And my plants seem to be loving it too 🥰

HELP. I have absolutely no green thumb and I bought a raspberry bush. And it doesn’t need much water… well all of a sudden it has started raining a ridiculous amount here in Colorado. My poor bush has been way too soaked and I don’t know if I can even save the roots. Can somebody help me it’s been about a week since I hought it and it was extremely healthy. :(

just wondering if a grow light being this close to any of my monsteras will cause harm? i read that too much light can hurt a plant but i’ve got it angled up as far as i can without getting zero light to my thai con.

General question here. Is anyone having an issue with your local weather updating? I’ve been going round and round with Planta regarding this. My Start page has been showing heavy rain with a storm approaching for at least 2 weeks. Local weather has been sunny and dry for the past 2+ weeks. This is driving me nuts! Anyone else having this issue?

Help! My dieffenbachia has been yellowing, drooping, and overall looks unwell. I then noticed some worm/caterpillar bugs. Any tips on how to cure my plant? I’ve had to cut some leaves off due to them dying off and I thought I was over watering but these bugs might be the reason. Thanks!!

Got this Fiddleleaf Fig yesterday on the discount t rack bc he’s not doing very well. Open to tips and ideas on how to care for him :)

My fiddle leaf has been thriving in this spot. It must’ve grown half its size in the last 3 years. It’s nearing the available height space at a bit over 6ft and I’m wondering if I should trim it to force it to branch. What would you do?
