I‘m trying to grow Venus Fly traps from seeds, I have them in indirect sunlight through the window, I lightly spray them every other day with distilled water. They‘re potted in a styrophome cup that has non-enriched peat moss mixed with Vermiculite. I even talk to them, lol. Why haven‘t any plants sprouted?
There are some suggestions for your plants: Keep your flytrap in its cage at all times. Just make sure the soil stays moist (dark brown) at all times. Your plant will need to be spray-misted or watered between once to three times a week. Place your pet in a good windowsill where it can get strong natural light for at least half the day. Your flytrap loves to eat to give the plant nitrogen and other compounds that will help your plant grow. Your flytrap will need a few months in the winter to hibernate. During this time, many of the leaves may die, and those that do live and grow will lie flat against the ground with short leaves. Typical dormancy period is from November until February. During this time, your flytrap will still need light, but for a shorter time during the day. If you ensure the above guidelines I hope your plants will stay healthy and growing.
