Our store offers a wide variety of exotic plants. The Venus flytrap, or Dionaea, is one of the most sought after options, and here's why:
- This is a rather rare plant that can not be found on every windowsill.
- Dionaea is a very striking representative of exotic plants: it hunts with the help of leaf plates that have turned into deadly traps, has an unusual color and feeds on unshelled insects. Watching the hunt is very interesting!
Dionea feels good at home: if you follow a few rules, there will be no problems with care. We will tell you in this article what you can and cannot do with a Venus flytrap.
Lighting
In nature, the Venus flytrap grows in marshy areas on the east coast of the United States of America. Therefore, your task is to recreate these climatic conditions as much as possible.
- When choosing a location, pay attention to the southern window sill. On an eastern or western window, Dionea also feels good: 5 hours of sunlight a day is the minimum required for normal growth and development of the plant. There is no need to protect the flycatcher from the sun, the main thing is that it is not stuffy, like in a bathhouse.
- In the spring and summer, the Venus flytrap begins active hunting. Practice shows that it copes quite well with catching insects on its own.
You need to know this! In autumn and winter, the sun rarely appears, so the flycatcher needs additional lighting. A phytolamp is best suited for this purpose. It is not difficult to understand that a plant does not have enough light: its leaves stretch out and lose their brightness.
Temperature and watering
Dionaea is a heat-loving flower, so it grows and develops well at temperatures from 22 to 30 degrees Celsius. In summer, the flytrap can easily tolerate higher temperatures, but if this regime persists throughout the year, the plant will not live long. In winter, the flower needs rest.
Let's say you have already chosen a place for a pot with a flytrap. It's time to take care of watering it.
- The plant does not absorb mineral salts from the soil and is very demanding on the composition and quality of water.
- Distilled or rainwater, as well as melted snow at room temperature, are suitable for watering the Venus flytrap. Tap water cannot be used. Even after long-term settling, it remains tough, and there are many questions about its composition.
- The plant needs bottom watering, but to avoid charring of the soil, you can occasionally add a little water from above. Fill the pan with water, and the flytrap flower itself will take the amount of moisture it needs. The soil in the pot should not dry out!
In winter, the plant needs to be sent for the winter!
How to choose soil and pot?
Choosing a pot is a matter of taste, but this plant looks most solemn in a white background. It is often chosen when a flower is bought not for oneself, but as a gift.
The beauty and health of the plant depends on the soil. Due to its inability to absorb minerals, the flycatcher prefers poor soils. This can be a mixture of peat and quartz sand (an alternative is perlite soaked in distilled water). In order not to buy components separately and not experiment with the proportions indicated on the Internet, we recommend purchasing ready-made soil for dionaea (it is always on sale).
It is important! When choosing a pot, focus on the size of the plant. The container should not be too wide! As for color, light shades heat up less in the sun, which avoids overheating of the root system. A proper pot must have drainage holes and a tray into which water is poured.
Planting and replanting Dionaea: considering the most popular options
The choice of variety depends on personal preference, but the most popular options are the typical shape, large mouth, and red dragon. Before placing an order, it is important to understand what exactly you need:
- Seeds. Option for advanced gardeners. It takes up to three years to grow Dionaea. Of course, a flytrap grown from seed is a clear expression of the work, skill and patience put in, but if you lack experience, we recommend starting with other options. An interesting fact is that the little Venus flytrap will most likely not look like its parents - this is a feature of this breeding method. If you decide to get seeds at home, you need to consider two points: the plant begins to bloom at the age of 2-3 years and does not belong to the category of self-pollinating. This “work” will have to be undertaken, as well as growing seeds in a container, replanting, and carefully caring for the Venus flytrap during the rooting period.
- Seedling. These are small flytraps placed in a temporary pot. After receiving the parcel, the plant must be replanted within 1-2 weeks. Accordingly, it is better to prepare the soil and container in advance.
- Plant in the pot. The older the flower, the more magnificent and larger it is. If you are purchasing a flytrap as a gift, pay attention to the plants planted in a pot with automatic watering.
Description
The Venus flytrap is a small herbaceous plant. The leaf blades of a representative of the Sundew family grow from a short underground stem. The length of the foliage reaches 3–7 cm. The upper part of the trap is painted with pigments that give it a reddish tint that attracts insects. The flowers, located at the tips of the stems, are quite small. Their outlines resemble the shape of a star. The average lifespan of a plant is 6–7 years. Looking through the photo, gardeners pay attention to how unusual the plant looks.
What do we do for you?
Your right is to choose any option from those offered; our task is to provide you with a quality product. The germination rate of seeds of carnivorous plants is about 70%. In practice, this means that 7 out of 10 potential plants will sprout. The second direction of our activity is growing Venus flytraps specifically for sale. We understand that our customers are located in different parts of Russia, and therefore we pay special attention to packaging and transportation conditions. To prevent plants from freezing in transit, we ship them between April and November, but this is not the only reason for choosing this interval. Many plants go into hibernation in winter. Flowers cannot be replanted during this period. In spring and summer, we recommend using the following algorithm:
- Carefully remove the flower from the shipping container.
- Clear the roots from the soil.
- Prepare a container at least 20 cm deep and place a layer of substrate on the bottom.
- Place the plant in the middle of the pot and fill it with the remaining soil.
To make the soil breathe better, there is no need to compact it. Don't forget to check if there are drainage holes at the bottom of the pot.
Basic methods of reproduction
It is customary to distinguish three methods of reproduction of the Venus flytrap. The seed option is considered the longest and most labor-intensive, but is practiced by some experienced gardeners. You can get seeds in two ways:
- acquire;
- after flowering, take from your own plant (do this in early March), which was previously pollinated by hand.
Before planting Venus flytrap seeds, they are treated with distilled water and a weak solution of potassium permanganate. Instead, you can place them in a ziplock bag in damp gauze for 1.5 months and put them in the refrigerator.
The second propagation option is by bulbs. They are cut from the mother plant and transplanted into a separate pot.
Important! To avoid rotting of the flycatcher bulbs, the cut site must be treated with charcoal.
Another option for propagating a flower is by cuttings. They are obtained from an adult plant, rooted, and then placed in a substrate.
A flycatcher with its prey is an unusual sight
About flowering and food
The flycatcher releases a flower stalk. The flowers themselves are small, star-shaped and smell pleasant, luring insects into the trap.
- Flowering can last two months, but you need to understand that prolonged flowering depletes the flower.
- If you are not interested in growing a Venus flytrap from seeds, it is better to cut off the peduncle, which prevents the plant from developing and forming large traps.
Interesting fact Most plants require fertilizers during flowering and active growth. Here the situation is completely different: since the root system is not capable of receiving minerals from the soil, it synthesizes them on its own, but it will not be possible to solve the problem of nitrogen deficiency in this way.
The only source of nitrogen is shellless insects that fall into its trap. If you take the pot out onto the balcony in the spring and summer, the plant will cope with this task on its own, but you should not feed the flower with dead flies (if necessary, then only live ones). Also, the flycatcher will not refuse mosquitoes and spiders.
- Do not feed your flycatcher beetles, worms, hard-shelled insects, or human food (sausage, meat, and other foods).
- Avoid feeding during the adaptation period, in winter or if the plant is sick. Digestion of an insect is an energy-consuming process.
Failure to follow these recommendations leads to the death of the trap due to the inability to properly digest food. The ideal “lunch” of a flower that eats flies takes up no more than 1/3 of the trap area!
Is it possible to revive a flycatcher?
The answer to this question depends on two factors: the degree of damage to the plant and the speed of your reaction. If the rhizome is painted white, the flycatcher can be saved. To do this, you need to carefully remove the blackened parts of the plant and replant it in a new pot with suitable soil. During the rehabilitation period, the flycatcher especially urgently needs sunlight, so having a lamp aimed at Dionaea 12 hours a day is a necessary condition.
The flycatcher rarely gets sick, but if two factors coincide - waterlogging of the soil and low temperature - a fungus may appear on the roots, and gray rot may appear on the stem and leaves. This “infection” is treated with fungicides, which can be purchased at any store that sells indoor plants. If the problem is identified early, the chances of recovery are high. But yellowing of the leaves indicates that you are watering the flytrap with inappropriate water, such as tap water, or you have flooded the flower. Here it is important to realize the mistake in time and change hard water to distillate or normalize the watering regime.
Folk signs
Venus flytraps are not only owned by lovers of exotic plants. It attracts flower growers not only with its unique life processes, but also with the numerous folk signs and beliefs that this charming predator has acquired.
It is believed that Dionea is able to “catch” a groom for an unmarried girl. To do this, you should invite him home, for example, to admire exotic plants. After he has been in the room with the Venus flytrap, he will never be able to part with his bride again.
It is also believed that the Venus flytrap can calculate and scare away people with bad intentions. Some individual entrepreneurs and businessmen start dionaea in the office to recognize whether they have a reliable partner or a dishonest fraudster.
Of course, you shouldn't take these beliefs at face value. However, they arose largely due to the rarity and exoticism of the plant and at least indicate that it is worth keeping a Venus flytrap, if only to satisfy curiosity and gain valuable experience in plant growing.
FAQ
The Venus flytrap is a beautiful and unusual predator, so it is often purchased as a gift. We are asked many questions before making a purchasing decision. Here are the most common ones:
Is the Venus flytrap dangerous for humans?
The Venus flytrap is completely safe for both humans and pets. Her only interest is small insects: spiders, mosquitoes, flies and midges. If a child touches the trap, nothing will happen to his finger: the leaves of the plant are soft, and the “juice” does not begin to be produced immediately. Just think, it can take up to 10 days to digest one insect.
On the other hand, frequent “games” with a flycatcher can lead to its death. Each closing of the trap is accompanied by a large expenditure of energy. If you “deceive” the flytrap infrequently, nothing bad will happen - in a day or two it will open again, but such manipulations on an ongoing basis can destroy the plant. If you want to observe a “living organism,” catch a fly and try to feed the flytrap, but the insect must be alive.
Are carnivorous plants difficult to care for?
The order comes with a detailed guide on how to care for a Venus flytrap at home, so in most cases there will be no problems. All the flycatcher needs is soft water and good (natural or artificial) lighting. The flycatcher, as a rule, does an excellent job of catching insects on its own.
How long does a flycatcher live?
The Venus flytrap is a perennial plant that can live for decades with proper care.

Pests
An insectivorous pet is not often attacked by pests, but when they are, the results can be quite devastating. Therefore, it is useful and advisable to develop the habit of preventative treatments using insecticidal aerosols throughout the year.
Perhaps the most common pests are aphids, spider mites and mealybugs.
Diseases of indoor flowers photo
If the substrate is severely waterlogged, fungal diseases such as gray rot or black sooty fungus can develop. When infected by the fungus, the leaves of the Venus flytrap turn black. In this case, the flower is treated with a fungicide, the substrate in the pot is changed, and the affected parts of the plant are removed.

These are living creatures, of course, they need to be fed! My friend grows a sundew, also an insectivorous plant. It feeds itself! In the summer there are a lot of flies, and if there are none, she places a piece of apple near the sundew, and after two or three hours flies appear and climb into the flower’s mouth!

The article is excellent, it’s immediately clear that it was written by a knowledgeable person. Tell me, please, what should the humidity be during the period of active growth? And here's another question. Is it possible to keep a flytrap in a terrarium? I have a leopard gecko, I would like to add it to him, but in his terrarium I maintain the humidity at 40%. Wouldn't such cohabitation be harmful for the plant? Thank you in advance.
Answer
Irina 11/19/2014 16:29 Hello, Anastasia. A flycatcher will do even better in a terrarium than on a windowsill. Precisely because the humidity is higher there. It grows well at a humidity of 40-70%, i.e. the range is wide. But only if your terrarium does not close, because... The flycatcher needs good air exchange. If there is always stale air, high humidity and a temperature of +35, then she may begin to get sick or even die.

Veronica, in winter you don’t need to feed her at all, because...
She has a rest period - lasts from November to February. As a rule, feeding stops at the end of September. And the active growth period most often begins in May, and that’s when they start feeding. But this does not mean that you need to feed the plant kilograms of flies) 2 insects per month are enough for it. And some Dionea owners say that they give 2-3 insects (flies, spiders, bees) during the entire summer season. She is more likely to die from overfeeding than from a lack of insects. And if your dionaea stands in the open air, for example on an open balcony, then it will feed itself. It is better to buy adult plants in late spring - early summer (May-June). Since after the purchase, acclimatization (getting used to your conditions) will last 1-1.5 months so that she has time to get used to your home before the rest period. The most important thing is not to feed it immediately after purchase until it produces 3-4 new leaves in your home! This will mean that acclimatization was successful.

Yes, you are right, in winter the temperature should be about 5-10 degrees. There is an inaccuracy in the article, we will correct it. You can keep it on the refrigerator door all the time, not just at night (3-4 months). And if you stand on a glazed balcony, then the temperature there will change day and night, the main thing is that it should not be higher than 15 degrees.

Answer
Natalya 08/09/2018 16:48 And what does the color of the traps themselves depend on? I only have green ones, but I look at the photographs, they are colored, with red inside, I also want multi-colored ones, maybe something is missing?
Answer
Irina 08/09/2018 16:58 The color of the traps depends on the time of year and lighting. The more light, the brighter the color. The trap turns red in summer to attract insects. However, there are varieties that are completely green, such as Green Wizard or All Green.
