My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Venus fly trap care (beginner)

9 years ago

I recently got a new venus fly trap. Can you tell me about its needs and how to care about it? I would be so thanful! :)

    Flytrap soil is typically a 50/50 mix of peat moss and perlite or peat moss and sand. DO NOT use products with added fertilizer. In late fall-winter they need to be kept between 35 and 45 degrees for 3-4 months. DO NOT use tap water, use only rainwater, distilled water or R.O. water.
