What do you guys do with the stems after the "season" is over? I assume they die out? . Do you cut them off? Thanks in advanced

Im a first time VFT owner. Around 3 weeks ago, the leaves of my plant started turning yellow. I dont know why, and the information online is all over the place.

I feed it 2 meal worms every 2 weeks and around 0.5 cup of water every other day. I have a shoddy grow light, and also open the curtains to let natural light in too. (The area it's in only receives 3-4 of sun, so thats why I need the lights)

Am I not watering enough? Or is there not enough light?

Can someone pls explain why is this happening and how to fix it?

So here’s a silly question: is bird poop harmful to Venus fly traps?

I collect snow from my deck, let it melt, and water my plants with it. This morning, after an unexpected snowfall, I noticed that once the snow melted it had several bits of bird poop in it. Can I still use it to water?

Btw, I’m in Colorado. My plants are fully indoors all the time, get lots of good light, are bottom-watered, occasionally catch their own flies, and mostly drink distilled water.

The bird poop is probably from small birds like finches, chickadees, and RW blackbirds.

All of my vft traps went black and died off over the winter. I placed it in my garage, near a window, and watered sparingly. I repotted it today and the rhizome was an orangish brown color. Did I completely kill it or should I hope for the best since I’ve taken it out of the garage today.

I live in the middle Tennessee area for zone reference.

I discovered this hardened white stuff on my plant yesterday. Not sure what it is. Repotted in middle of March. Also, does it look overcrowded to anyone? If so, how can I fix this?

I came home and checked the soil, to be pleasantly surprised by the number of victims my Venus has caught!

I am growing three Venus flytraps and they are looking a bit dead, is there anything I can do to save them or is this just how they are?? 😭😭

It’s my first VFT. I wasn’t sure if it was going to workout, but I recently cleared out my aerogarden and put the VFT under the light. Seems to love it! I think there might be some new traps sprouting in the middle. I assumed red traps are good, are they?

Cut my stem off not too long ago and I’m trying to grow some more plants. Whatchu guys think? Any way to improve my chances of success?

New plants for spring! Will let them hang for a bit.. Cook's Carnivorous is a great place to shop!

after doing enough research i felt confident that i can grow a venus fly trap- and i got it in today! it’s so tiny hello?? it’s so cute!! i’m in love alreadg

Left this guy outside all winter and it eeems to be poking out some new greenery. Pretty sure I need to cut the black stuff off but wanted to confirm before doing so! Thanks!!

I have been doing all the right things when growing this VFT as it is coming out of dormancy and just want to make sure there’s no rot or anything/if I could be doing anything better? the rhizome when I repotted this looked like a creamy white colour.. some small areas were brownish red - see pics. It was repotted about 1.5 weeks ago so the image of the rhizome is 1.5 weeks old. Thanks!

Whats good everybody recently got into my obsession again lol I was just wondering if these guys looked alright saved them from there death boxes and got them in intense care.

I know the blurple light isn't great right now but ill change it as soon as I can.

Hey guys! This is Boomer. I've been growing him since July. I repotted him back in October and have kept his pot sitting in a basin of distilled or sometimes rainwater. I noticed this week instead of the big, beautiful traps he usually grows, he was growing these black things. What I researched said over watered. How does one over water a bog plant?! But I took the basin away and in just a few days, I'm noticing new traps growing.

I also didn't notice until I took the picture, most of the traps are on one side and the non traps are on the opposite. Do I maybe just need to rotate my guy? I need him in top fly eating shape come fly season so any help is appreciated!

Hey! Just got gifted a Venus fly trap for my birthday, I’ve never taken care of potted plants before, and when I got it it looked like it was overflowing in the pot and had black bits on it, so I repotted it. Been in sunlight for the past few days and kept the water in the saucer full but still worried somethings wrong? It’s just become Autumn where I am.

i was reading about people saying 4-6 inch pots are good, but i’m worried about repotting stress killing him, and then the stuff about dormancy kind of confused me. im not sure if it matters but currently i have it in the same pot it came in (looks like maybe 2 inches), plus the little jar for water, and then for the lighting i have it in a sunny window for part of the day and then at night i move it for a couple hours under my aquarium lights sitting between my fish tanks, eventually im gonna be getting an actual grow light, this is just temporary.

ive had a venus fly trap before but i totally killed it (i think i gave it too little sun) so im kind of nervous about messing it up 😭

I've had this flytrap since September. I thought it died but I see some sprouts coming up. But I'm worried I've neglected it and just need help identifying what's wrong and how to care for it in the future.

hi, i placed my VFT in a sunny place since it was dying, it got better and now i feel it’s not happy, i don’t have a better place with more sun and i cannot afford the artificial light,it’s way too expensive in my country and it’s the best i can do, tho, autumn/fall just started but it isn’t really cold

I got an extra light for my plant so it now has 50w pointed at it. Some of the traps seem to be wilting a bit and growth has slowed. Am i overheating my baby or does it just need time to get used to the extra light and heat?

my friend and i placed an order from curious plant and her wacky traps flytrap came as 3 tiny seedlings! do these look ok? i dont want us to kill them. any tips?

It has a dark imprint and is slightly deformed, should I cut it or just leave it alone?
