Planting & Growing Guide

When to Plant:

• Best Time: Spring to early summer for best growth conditions
• Cold Stratification Required: 4-6 weeks to improve germination

Seed Preparation:

1. Cold Stratification (Essential for Germination):
   • Place seeds on a damp paper towel inside a sealed plastic bag.
   • Store in the refrigerator at 34-40°F (1-4°C) for 4-6 weeks before planting.

Sowing Instructions:

• Planting Medium: Use a 50:50 mix of sphagnum peat moss & perlite (avoid potting soil or compost).
• Planting Depth: Lightly press seeds onto the soil surface—do not bury them.
• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist with distilled or rainwater only (tap water contains minerals that harm Venus flytraps).
• Humidity: Maintain high humidity by covering with a humidity dome or placing in a terrarium.
• Temperature: Keep at 70-85°F (21-29°C) for best germination.

Germination & Growth:

• Seeds germinate in 4-6 weeks under optimal conditions.
• Provide bright, direct light to develop strong traps.
• Avoid fertilizing—Venus flytraps obtain nutrients from insects.

Care & Maintenance:

• Watering: Use only distilled or rainwater and keep the soil damp but not soggy.
• Feeding: Feed only live or dried insects (avoid human food).
• Dormancy: In winter, plants enter dormancy—reduce watering and place in cooler conditions (40-50°F / 4-10°C) for 2-3 months.
• Repotting: Every 1-2 years, refresh the soil to maintain acidity.

Blooming & Enjoyment:

• Flowering Period: Spring to early summer (white or pinkish blooms on tall stalks).
• Trap Functionality: Begins catching small insects after 3-6 months of growth.
• Perfect for: Unique indoor displays, carnivorous plant collections, and natural pest control.
