How to water the Venus Flytrap

Water selection

When watering it, you cannot directly use tap water, which is also not allowed when watering most plants. Of course we can choose bottled water, but this is too expensive since we need to use it frequently. An economical and simple method is to leave tap water outside in the sun for a while before watering. In this way, substances in the water that are harmful to their health will be evaporated by the sun.

How to tell if you need water

Many novices think that it needs higher humidity to grow normally, so they water it every day. However, this is a wrong approach. In daily life, we only need to ensure that the soil is moist. During the germination period, we need to maintain a high humidity.

Watering time

It is best to do it after dusk. Do not water too much when the temperature is high in summer. It will not be able to absorb water at this time, which will cause its roots to rot and even die in severe cases.

Waist water

This is very beneficial for its breeding. The so-called waist water is to put a water tray at the bottom of the pot. The height of the water in the water tray should be between 1 cm and 2 cm. This can maintain its humidity. However, if the temperature is high, the water tray should be removed.
