VENUS FLY TRAP PLANT SEEDS
Dionaea Muscipula
You are bidding on 5 seeds
The plant needs a lot of light, give it full sun if you can. Grow it outside as much as you can. It also makes an excellent household plant but requires more sun than it can get on a typical house window sill.
The pot with the plant must always be sitting in water – rainwater or reverse osmosis water is preferable.
If the plant is not catching its own food, it needs to be fed in the traps with live insects, rehydrated dried bloodworms (we sell freeze-dried bloodworms - please see my listings) or other kinds of fish food high in insect-derived protein that can be conveniently rehydrated. If you use dead food, the traps need to be massaged to stimulate full closure and digestion
They aren’t very picky about soil. It grows well in Sphagnum moss (live or from dried), pure Sphagnum peat and the standard 1:1 peat sand “CP mix”. The seedlings are slow growing.
What matters is how far the crown of the plant is from the water level. The plants do not enjoy being soggy but must always be wet. The wetter the soil, the taller the pot. In shorter pots, the soil should be more sandy. Avoid pure Sphagnum moss or pure peat in short pots. In any case, the water level should always be more than 5cm below the surface of the soil.
