FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hi! I am new to this site but came here because I really need help! I tried to find something related but I want personal information to my problem. I just got a new VFT and nobody knew about care at Lowes. I am in Arizona and I just put my Sundew and VFT in an old aquarium with a cup of water. I didn't know what to do! Please give me instructions to grow a pretty plant! I am confused!

Hi BeaksdaBomb, welcome to Flytrapcare!

Follow this guide and you should be good: http://www.flytrapcare.com/venus-fly-trap-growing

This is VERY basic care:

-Plant it in long fibered sphagnum moss ( better gro brand is very good and can be found in lowes) or fertilizer free peat.

-Keep media moist but not wet at all times. Never let the pot dry out

-Give it as much sun as possible

-Give it dormancy in winter
