FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Guys please Help MY FLYTRAP my house has no osmosis water or distilled water. what can I do to keep it alive? My house only sells filtered and unfiltered water

You can use rainwater to water your plants.

But it is within 2 days... i'm at hong kong.....

Hi there,

I used to water my Venus flytraps with boiled water (before I used rainwater), after it cooled down, which ended up removing chlorine from the water and my plants seemed OK. I now use rainwater and it seems to not make much of a difference in growth but is way more convenient. Creating distilled water (with <50ppm) is much harder than boiling water and I've never tried it before but there are some sites that tell you how. As long as the boiled water reads less than 50ppm, then it's fine to use on your plants.

Thx but the water goes away quickly.....

If it will rain in a few days and your plants are a little moist, then maybe wait until the rain comes. If they are too dry, then a little tap water will keep them alive until you get rain. Then maybe flush the pot with some rainwater to wash out all the minerals that might have accumulated.
