# Help me please. I got this venus fly trap about a month ago and since…

Help me please. I got this venus fly trap about a month ago and since then all of the traps have died. I have fed it once. I had it in a jar and misted it with distilled water to keep it humid.

Contrary to belief they are not humid plants yes they like moisture, butttt it’s very clean and nutrient deficient. (They are actually native to more up north on the eastern side of the USA)  
They do like light whatsoever, but you have to gradually do it.  
Try wattering from the bottom. Get an waterproof saucer and fill it up with her water not to much then place the pot back in and let her soak for a few days till it’s gone give her some time to dry and then repeat.

Full direct sun. Distilled water. Open air, don’t enclose or suffocate.
