FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

I bought two dionea muscipula. One is a bonus plant. Booth are little.
1. Do you know if they are from tissue culture or from seeds ?
2. And in how much time a plant this size will grow bigger, a medium size ?
3. May i feed a small trap of a small plant ?
4. Is there a dionea hibrid that has red leaves and red traps or yellow ones with red traps, like in my image ? Because i bought them this way. Maybe the yellow ones will become green... I check with my fingers if the sphagnum moss is moist on the outside, because i don't know any other way. I leave the lights from 7 am to 8 pm (see my signature for the light type).

2. And in how much time a plant this size will grow bigger, a medium size ?

I would say one year at least.

3. May i feed a small trap of a small plant ?

You could probably feed them with tiny insects such as ants or chopped blood worms...

Is there a dionea hibrid that has red leaves and red traps or yellow ones with red traps, like in my image ?

There are lots of 100% red Venus fly traps including Akai Ryu, Royal Red and Bohemian Garnet. I'm not sure about yellow ones with red traps though - I think the yellow parts of the plant will probably turn green in time.

Feeding accelerates plant growth for VFT ?

Yes, to a certain extent. It's bad for your plant if you feed it too much but one insect every week or two would make it grow a lot faster I think.

Feeding is true, to a point that if your plant is dying but it has 1 open trap and you feed it, it recovers and grows again, with measure, as Lord Death says, it is really healthy.

I feed the one on the right with a flying gnat. The trap opened the next day because the fly has entered half way in.

Annoying gnats keep closing the traps and dying in the process. Edit : getting rid of the flying gnats solved the problem and the traps getting bigger are not catching the gnats anymore.

I feed mine fish food flakes with a dropper (flakes made moist using demi water)
