FlyTrapCare Forums

Hello. I purchase a mini geenhouse like the picture below for my flytraps:
Is it okay to leave the rain covering on it? Or that covering will cut light as a household window? I would like to put my flytraps in it and place it in full sun.

that's the same one I use lol...I leave the cover on for shelter purposes; i.e severe weather, rain on a cold day, etc. but it might get a little hot in there if it's in full sun...like a sauna lol..

I would leave the cover off, because those greenhouses get extremely hot when left in the sun with the cover on. I wouldn't worry about a little rain, unless you are dealing with seedlings, because it's a free watering for the plants.

I just covered the top for minimal protection. We have smaller hail each year. Thanks for the helpful tips...helped me a lot.

More like a solar oven. Even on overcast days. Only close it completely at night if there is a freeze warning and don't forget to open it the next morning or you will cook everything in the matter of hours. BTDT.

While all the important information has been covered, I'd like to point out that I am highly amused nobody advertising the greenhouse thought about the absurdity of the following:

Bonsai trees and cacti having similar enough growth/watering requirements!

Hanging plants looking great on bottom shelves!
