Hi. I’ve been giving my flytraps mealworms and they’re doing fine. Recently I saw a video of someone feeding theirs a homemade mixture of fish pellets and stuff. I’m curious what foods and methods you guys use and what seems to work best? After feeding. What do you do to stimulate the hairs so the trap stays closed? Most of my traps are pretty small so getting even a toothpick in there can be difficult sometimes. I’m also curious if the mouths are still supposed to turn red when using a grow light? Mine are super green still, but the traps came from Walmart, so maybe it’s not a variety that turns red? Can you increase the number of active traps by alternating feedings? Why is one of my Venus flytraps producing traps that are only mm long. Tiny tiny little things.

      It’s possible you’re over feeding/giving the traps too big of food. The color of the mouth kind of more depends on the variety. Do you have a grow light on it? Keeping it sitting in 1/3 inch water and the brightest light possible for 12 ish hours a day. That will get you the biggest traps.
