# So sad! This fly trap was doing so well until I moved it from this…

_Posted by Moe on 2023-08-25_

So sad! This fly trap was doing so well until I moved it from this south facing window into my little green house. It did NOT do well so I moved it back to its original home by the window… what can I do?

Is it possible to move it outside? Or to any west facing windows?

I might try moving it outside to my porch which gets part sun in the late evening.

Venus fly traps enjoy lots of sun and like to stay moist and humid! They can be outside all year.
