☀️ Care Tips
Venus Flytraps require much different care than most houseplants. Plant in a nutrient-free carnivorous plant mix (peat moss and perlite or long-fiber sphagnum moss), and never use regular potting soil or fertilizer. Keep the soil consistently moist by standing the pot in a shallow tray of distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis water. Provide at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for the healthiest traps and best coloration.

❄️ Winter Dormancy
Venus Flytraps naturally require a winter dormancy period each year. During late fall and winter, the plant will slow its growth and some traps may die back—this is completely normal and essential for long-term health. Growth resumes vigorously in spring.
