How much water does a venus flytrap need?

Answer 1

Venus flytraps are small carnivorous plants that grow in subtropical climates in nutrient poor soil.

Lots of water. The plant is a freshwater marsh plant and is used to soil that is fully saturated with water. Use of standard "flower pots" with a drain hole in the bottom will cause a flytrap to get too dry and it will die.

Answer 2

A Venus flytrap needs to be kept consistently moist to thrive. The soil in which it's planted should be damp but not waterlogged. It is recommended to use distilled water or rainwater to prevent mineral build-up in the soil.

Answer 3

Yes, most definitely. They live in bogs, so in the wild they have a constant supply of water. They require mineral free water. Rainwater is great, and water passed through a reverse-osmosis unit is also fine.

Answer 4

you put them in a saucer filled with water

Answer 5

it needs sunlight, but sort of filtered, like in a rain forest canopy. Some blinds would do the trick. but make sure the soil is insufficient in nitrogen
