Where to Grow
Flytraps & Sarracenia grow best outdoors as a container or potted plant on a sunny deck or patio. They can also grow in a pond or fountain, but keep the crown of the plant above water.
Sunlight
During the growing season, grow your flytrap & Sarracenia outside in full sun. Give it 6 or more hours of direct sunlight for vigorous growth. If full sun is not possible, provide a minimum of 4 hours of direct sunlight with bright indirect light during the rest of the day.
Heat Tolerance
Flytraps & Sarracenia tolerate the summer heat very well. They originate from an area where temperatures above 90°F (32°C) commonly occur in summer.
Water
Keep the soil wet at all times. You can do this by setting the plant in small amounts of standing water, no more than halfway up the pot.
Soil
Use a soil mixture of 1 part peat moss and 1 part perlite. Never use potting soil, compost or fertilizer; these soils have nutritious ingredients that will kill your plants.
Winter Care
Flytraps & Sarracenia require 3-4 months of winter dormancy triggered by cold temperatures (below 50°F or 10°C) and shorter daylight hours. While dormant, your plants can withstand overnight frosts down to 20°F (-7°C). However, even while dormant, plants will still need to sit in a small amount of standing water to prevent its soil from drying out.
