How to grow Venus flytrap in winter? What to do if the leaves are all black?

1. How to keep it in winter

1. Insulation treatment: It has slight cold resistance, but the temperature cannot be lower than 0 degrees. To be on the safe side, it is recommended to move the plant indoors for management in winter to prevent it from being frostbitten, especially in northern regions. Most areas in the north have heating, and plants can grow normally in the indoor environment.

2. Get more sun: When caring for it in winter, place it in a well-lit place and let it get more sun, which can help it survive the winter. Getting more sunlight can raise its temperature and also help it accumulate nutrients.

3. Water in small amounts: The temperature is low in winter, water is lost slowly, and its growth rate also slows down, so you need to reduce watering. If the soil is not dry, it is best not to water it at will. Generally, watering once a week is enough. Too much water will easily damage the roots.

4. Stop fertilizing: The amount of fertilization in winter must be controlled. It is recommended to stop fertilizing and resume normal management after the plants resume growth in spring, adding fertilizer appropriately to avoid fertilizer damage.

2. What to do if the leaves of the Venus flytrap turn black

The blackening of its leaves may be caused by inappropriate light, temperature, watering or excessive fertilizer. Regardless of the reason, it must be treated as soon as possible after discovery. In terms of temperature, it is best to provide it with an environment of 15-25 degrees. It is usually recommended to use the basin method to water it to avoid waterlogging. The humidity should be controlled between 50%-70%. You can put it in a bag and keep it in a stuffy place for a period of time. Then put it in the sun for a week, and then take it out for maintenance. In addition, you should also reduce its food intake to avoid indigestion. It is best to dilute the fertilizer before applying.
