Notes on repotting Venus Flytrap

When repotting the Venus flytrap, you need to choose the right time. It is best to repot it in the summer when the temperature is higher, because the temperature and humidity at this time are very suitable for the growth of the plant, which can increase the survival rate of the Venus flytrap and make it less likely for the plant to die due to repotting. It is generally not recommended to repot the Venus flytrap after a heavy rain.

1. After repotting the Venus flytrap, you need to place it in a bright place after the plant grows new roots to allow it to resume growth. You also need to spray some water around the Venus flytrap every other day to lower the temperature of the environment and maintain humidity.

2. When repotting the Venus flytrap, you need to carefully replant the plant in new soil. The soil can be loam with good drainage and air permeability.

Tips for repotting Venus Flytrap

1. Root pruning and drying

When repotting the Venus flytrap, you need to use sharp scissors to cut off the black and rotten roots of the Venus flytrap to prevent the situation from getting worse. You also need to cut off the yellow and diseased leaves of the Venus flytrap to promote its healthy growth.

2. Watering

The method to replenish water for the Venus flytrap is the immersion pot method. You should pay attention to collecting rainwater for watering on a daily basis. In a very dry environment, its growth will be suppressed.

3. Soil for repotting

The Venus flytrap needs to live in acidic soil. When preparing the planting soil, the pH value needs to be kept in a slightly acidic state as much as possible. You can put some gravel at the bottom of the pot to increase its air permeability and drainage.
