My Venus fly trap is honestly my little hero I went from being petrified of all creepy crawlies to catching them to feed to him and he is flourishing!

Looks like hes cloned himself! Likely more than once too by the amount of traps you’ve got. You can tell them apart because the new clones have smaller traps compared to the original mama

Looks like it’s time for a repot

How do you repot a carnivorous plant..? I was trying to strategise this and just can’t get my head round it

### Cowro commented on 2024-10-23

During dormancy take it out of the pot like a normal plant then lightly brush the dirt off its rhizome, then place it in the pot as usual. If you want you could even separate the two but that would require some extra research. Just repot like any other plant just be gentle and make sure it’s during dormancy.
