I’ve had my vft for 2 weeks now and I think she’s adjusting nicely thank you for advice ✨ I’ve heard of people doing a flush every 2 weeks? Is that okay if I just repotted? does temp matter? A before and after. Any advice is appreciated😊

    Hey good job! Looks like it has some baby leaves! I can only really give you standard advice I’m sure you’ve heard before like keep the pot in a cup of distilled or rain water that’s always full, never let it dry out, give it more light than you think possible, and don’t forget to freeze it in the winter. Typically forgetting they need a hard freeze is where people mess up, but you still have some time until then! Remember they don’t need to be repotted often, they need soil with no nutrients in it, and it’s okay if they don’t catch anything, they still photosynthesize like any other plant. I’ve heard some people say the leaves reopen after they catch something, that’s not true. They almost always just die. Don’t worry though, it’s supposed to, it’ll give you new leaves. You can also put it in a sunny spot outside so it can catch something if theres no buggies in the house, just remember to bring it inside before dark. I’m sure I’ve forgotten some rules, but I have faith someone will correct me on it lol. Nice job with the flytrap!

      Thank you I do keep it sitting in distilled water at all times and will probably ask again about going dormant. But I don’t need to flush the soil?

      second you on almost everything! the traps will reopen, they should able to catch and recatch a few times before dying, which is why you want to avoid setting the traps off when you're not feeding :)

      You’d only need to flush the soil if you were watering with something besides distilled water

      Oh that’s interesting! Every time mine catches something the leaf just dies. I think I might be able to blame my friend for that though since he pokes them into closing every time he’s over.
