Hello,

Well I have plastic tank which is a bout 1 foot and half long and 40 cms wide with a lid which provides a bit of ventilation will it be suitable for venus fly traps?

Thanks,

VFK

Hey Cesar,

There is no need for a tank or terrarium when growing Venus fly traps. They're more trouble than they're worth, in my opinion. Growing plants in a terrarium is a challenge due to the lack of air movement and high humidity, which promotes fungal growth and mold.

Venus fly traps don't require high humidity, so you should just grow them in the open air.
