FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Hello, I'm new to this plat form, although as a 12 year old boy. I own 2 pets, (1 considered not a pet I guess) an iguana and a Venus flytrap. It's the same for me as others and I can't seem to understand how to know if my Venus flytrap is growing healthy and correctly.

this is the best 10min video for new grows i have seen




#1 growing media has to be safe (i use peat and perlite)
#2 water must be very low in mineral & metals (under 50ppm TDS)
#3 has to have a major amount of light (majority of issues are this, people cant seem to accept the amount of light it really needs)
#4 winter dormancy, the plant in the wild goes to sleep to protect itself from freezing temps( with out a dormancy the plant just seems to run out energy at some point)

Always look for new growth coming from the center....
