CARE OF THE VENUS FLY-TRAP

Venus Fly-Traps are the most remarkable plants in the world. Care of the Venus Fly-Trap is very easy.  These plants will take care of themselves as far as feeding.. Did you know that a trap only requires a few insects a year? 

Give them a lot of sunlight and water.  It will amaze you how they grow and function.  As these plants mature their traps will turn black.  All you have to do is cut the black traps off and watch as new traps appear in about six weeks.

In the winter months you can cut the black traps off and let your fly-trap go dormant for the winter. 

 

To let your trap go dormant:

• Cut back all the leaves. 

• Put the bulb in a Locking Freezer bag

• Place it in the refrigerator for about 60 days. 

• Take the trap from refrigerator and repot. 

• Place the Pot in a dish of water and in a window with good sunlight.
