FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

OK i dont know what all the big fuss on terrariums is about what makes them so harmful to venus flytraps???????

It's not that they're harmful to Venus flytraps. It's that the conditions in a terrarium promote the growth of fungus and mold, which can be harmful to Venus flytraps. Also, the lighting used in terrariums isn't as good as sunlight, so the plant won't be as healthy.

That's not to say that you can't have extremely healthy Venus flytraps in a terrarium. It's just much harder to do than growing them outside.

What Matt said.

Let's just say, try to keep your plants healthy outside of a terrarium before trying it in a terrarium.
While a terrarium can be very nice to look at, it is much more demanding in taking care of.
