don’t fertilize their soil if u use fertilizer, make sure their soil is absolutely devoid of nutrients, if they have nutritious soil it’ll kill them! be cautious not to overfeed as well! def do more research im just spitballing a few things i know. congrats on becoming a fly trap owner!

Keep it sitting in 2-3 inches of water soil must remain wet or it will die

Carnivorous plants are bog plants with humidity needed so if you have a humidifier that would be great for the plant I keep mines set to 65% but anything 50 or over is good

I don’t have one but I’ll look into getting one

California Carnivores has a great YouTube video for these guys! It’s called: The Ultimate Venus Fly Trap Care Guide ! It’s about an hour long and gives so much detail!
