I just got a Butterworts plant, it seems to be doing well! Itās caught tons of flies already, but Iād like some tips/advice on how to give it the proper care. I mist it a few times a week and Iām getting some grow lights too! Anything helps. Thank you!
Thank you so much! Iām not used to handling this plant in particular, so this will be a great help!

Please donāt mist it! It hates that because it doesnāt like getting wet leaves. I use distilled water and a little squirt bottle. You can also bottom water. I have found that lava rock and coconut coir is the soil they like the most. Itās got small, shallow roots so drainage is a must but donāt let it dry out completely before watering again. My Mexican butterworts do not go dormant. One is in my SE window and one is under a booklight Lol
Iām using a cup I saved from my fruit cup at 7-11 š

Misting isnāt necessary, make sure you donāt get large amounts of water on the leaves. They do have a dormant āsucculentā phase but itās not necessary for their survival. Keep the medium wet.
