Even if the Venus flytrap does not grow very tall overall, it still grows quickly - provided it is properly cared for. Up to four new traps can be created per month. A good location, sufficient moisture and a warm place are important for he althy growth.
How do you promote the growth of a Venus flytrap?
To promote the growth of the Venus flytrap, it should be placed in a bright, sunny location with high humidity and consistent warmth. Make sure to keep the substrate moist at all times and avoid fertilizing or feeding with insects.
He althy growth through good location
The growth of the Venus flytrap is favored by the location:
- Bright, preferably sunny location
- Substrate always moist
- high humidity
- constant heat
- reduce heat and humidity in winter
Do not stimulate the growth of the Venus flytrap by fertilizing
Like all carnivorous plants, the Venus flytrap needs few nutrients. You should therefore not fertilize them or feed them with insects.
If the nutrient supply is too high, growth visibly suffers. The valves remain small and they die much earlier.
Tip
If the Venus flytrap has digested an insect in one of its folding traps, the trap can enlarge by up to 10 percent.
