This is accurate.
I have and do, on occasion, fertilize flytraps via the soil. They respond well to it at very low dosages, but it is super easy to take it too far and burn them. I typically mix 1 tsp of Dyna-Gro Foliage Pro into a gallon of RO water and water the flytraps only once or twice with that in the spring. They won't burn with that amount, but they also don't get a huge growth burst. They respond much better to being hand-fed rehydrated freeze-dried blood worms. Though, of course, that is very time consuming to do.
