FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Before my seedlings were eating these tiny black beetle things all on their own, traps littered with their bodies but now that they're extinct from the area xD can I actually feed them bloodworms? There's no way I can manually push the traps to stimulate moving prey as I'll end up moving the small seedlings out the ground.. Or damaging the plant, so if I was to place bloodworms in the traps and move them till the trap closes will that be enough to stimulate digestion? (These are seedlings only months old) thanks

I wouldnt try feeding (till large enough for small gnats etc), just give as much light as you can and keep well moist.

If you're dead set on feeding them you could try painting Maxsea on the underside of the leaves. I've never done it, but I've read others have with success.

Feeding at this stage is not really necessary for the seedlings, but like boarderlib said, Maxsea can be used.
