Alternatively, the plant can be kept standing in water continuously.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div dir=\"auto\" data-smartmail=\"gmail_signature\">Use pure water without mineral content, such as distilled, demineralized, or rainwater.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div dir=\"auto\" data-smartmail=\"gmail_signature\">These plants prefer relatively high temperatures in summer (up to 30\u00b0C), while in winter they require a cooler environment (2\u201310\u00b0C), as they enter dormancy. After proper winter dormancy, the plant will actively produce new leaves and resume growth in spring.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div dir=\"auto\" data-smartmail=\"gmail_signature\">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).<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div dir=\"auto\" data-smartmail=\"gmail_signature\">The substrate should consist of acidic peat (pH 3.5\u20134.5, without fertilizers) mixed with sand or fine gravel in a 2:1 ratio.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div dir=\"auto\" data-smartmail=\"gmail_signature\">Frequent repotting is not necessary, as Venus flytraps have a relatively small root system.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div dir=\"auto\" data-smartmail=\"gmail_signature\">Do not fertilize\u2014captured 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.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div dir=\"auto\" data-smartmail=\"gmail_signature\">Also, avoid triggering the traps unnecessarily. Each closure requires energy, and repeated stimulation can weaken the plant<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Venus flytraps require plenty of direct sunlight.
