# Finally got my first Venus fly trap. I just got it 4 days ago and fed…

_Posted by Carnie on 2024-06-22_

Finally got my first Venus fly trap. I just got it 4 days ago and fed it a slug about 1/4 the size of the trap 3 days ago(Trap I fed the slug to is circled). I was just wondering if this window was enough light for the plant, and if my plant looks healthy. Thanks!

Looks healthy to me! Is the window north, east, west, or south facing? (Or does the plant get direct sun in the morning, afternoon, or no direct sun)

The window is facing south. I’m not positive but I’m pretty sure it gets direct light from like 12-3
