As you said, the leaves (the “traps”) mimic flowers. But Venus flytraps also produce real flowers (and the flowers produce seeds) The real flowers look nothing like the “traps.” I’m sure you’ve covered that in another video.

Don’t buy any wild-collected flytraps (or other carnivorous plants). But as for seeing them in the wild, you won’t see any wild ones unless you’re in a very specific area (roughly, within about a 70-mile radius of Wilmington, NC, USA). That’s where the poachers poach them. If you’re there, by all means try to find some, and enjoy looking at them, but don’t touch them. I’ve heard a report that they have been introduced and naturalized (i.e., gone wild) in a couple of other places in North America, but I haven’t seen any proof of this.

Hi, thank you for the good information in this video. I want to ask some questions. Like you have said in this video, if the plant did not go to dormant state, it will live several years and die right. I have seen a video to multiply venus fly trap by seperating the tubers. My question is , if my plant do not go to dormant state and I use the multiplying Venus fly trap method, will I be able to always reproduce it without the plant dying. As example, I only buy one Venus fly trap, and I just seperate it and plant it in different pot so that it can reproduce. Is it can sustain longer by always keeping it reproduce. I'm so sorry if my question is to long and my English is not so good. Thank you so much for or the response. Keep up sharing good information. I hope this channel will become more successful.

I think you could! Just keep in mind that when plants are weak they stop propagating, so splitting wont be possible. Leaf pullings are an option, but they will take some time to grow

So much wrong in what you said. 1st off... Black roots are NOT a sign of root rot in Venus Flytraps. Their roots turn black as they age & put on secondary growth. Furthermore... Venus Flytraps canNOT suffer root rot from too much humidity or water. They are bog plants & they grow in standing water in their native habitat. They grow in WET lands. The same is true for all Sarracenia species, & most Sundews. I grow all my Venus Flytraps & Sarracenias outside in 100% cut peat moss, with the pots 75% submerged in water. Their roots stay soaking wet all Spring, Summer, & Autumn when temperatures are above 60° F & humidity is 99%, in direct Sunlight. They only come out of the water in Late Autumn & Winter as temps drop & they need to be sheltered from temps below 25° F. What causes root rot in these plants is fertilizer & mineralized water, which burn the roots. Carnivorous Plants cannot survive in nutrient rich soils, especially soils rich in soluble nitrogen salts, like ammonium nitrate, sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate, ect. Fungal & bacterial growth on Carnivorous plants is directly attributed to insufficient sunlight. Too much shade prevents the plants from producing a thick cuticle that protects them from fungal spores & bacteria penetrating their tissues. And ironically, these very same bacteria & fungi are nessecary, for strong root growth, as their byproducts provide essential nutrients to Venus Flytraps. Lastly... Venus Flytraps REQUIRE a winter dormancy. They must be exposed to cold weather throughout winter. The reason their large leaves die as winter approaches... is because they are going dormant... NOT because of root rot. As Venus Flytraps go dormant, they will shed their large leaves known as their Summer Roset... & they will grown much smaller leaves in their place, known as their Winter Roset. This is completely natural. It is suppose to happen.

Thanks for the great video! I am wondering, after watching this and many other videos, how does a Venus Fly Trap grow without nutrients? They are supposed to be grown in medium with no nutrients, like peat moss, and watered only with distilled water. Besides the CO2 + Light, where do they get nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium, among others, to grow, and produce plant mass?

I am a praying mantis keeper so I always have live blue bottle flies on hand since that is the primary food for the mantis's. I thought it would be fun & easy to get a venus fly trap. I got one & I absolutely love it! I have it next to my mantis enclosure under the large grow light for my vivariums. It has been thriving. it is so fun to feed it & watch it snap closed. The mantis's also require distilled water so I have that on hand also. I love this little plant.

Don't put water in the pitchers and leave the bugs inside. If you think its getting too many bugs, just move the plant to a different location. These plants do not like being touched and if you start removing bugs from the pitchers they may die.
