Venus flytraps require plenty of direct sunlight. When grown indoors, a south-facing windowsill is ideal, although they can also do well on east- or west-facing windows.

Watering should be done by the tray method—pour water into the tray and maintain a level not exceeding 2 cm. Allow the water to dry out, then wait 1–2 days before watering again. Alternatively, the plant can be kept standing in water continuously.

Use pure water without mineral content, such as distilled, demineralized, or rainwater.

These plants prefer relatively high temperatures in summer (up to 30°C), while in winter they require a cooler environment (2–10°C), as they enter dormancy. After proper winter dormancy, the plant will actively produce new leaves and resume growth in spring.

If it is not possible to provide proper winter conditions, the plant can be kept on a windowsill during winter. However, it is important to compensate for the lack of sunlight by using artificial lighting (we recommend linear or compact fluorescent lamps with a color temperature of 6500K).

The substrate should consist of acidic peat (pH 3.5–4.5, without fertilizers) mixed with sand or fine gravel in a 2:1 ratio.

Frequent repotting is not necessary, as Venus flytraps have a relatively small root system.

Do not fertilize—captured insects are the only source of nutrients. Avoid overfeeding the plant, as this can negatively affect its health. The plant should catch prey on its own. Even without insects, it will continue to grow normally through photosynthesis.

Also, avoid triggering the traps unnecessarily. Each closure requires energy, and repeated stimulation can weaken the plant
