Venus flytrap?

Also at the moment it is inside my house and i'm not sure whether i should keep it outside.

Answers:    Congratulations on your new plant! There are three highest points to keeping a Venus fly trap healthy.

1) Sunlight
2) Water
3) Soil

Venus fly traps like lots of flimsy. Try to give it at least 4 hours of direct sunlight a daytime. The more you can give it the better. It is best to grow your fly trap outside where it can receive plenty of sun and catch its own food. If you bought it from a store where it be inside, you will have to acclimate it to sunlight by putting it in shade for a few days, consequently give it an hour of sunlight one day, a couple hours the subsequent day, etc.

Venus fly traps need verbs water. Usually tap river will not do. It is best to use distilled water, rain wet, or reverse osmosis water. Venus fly traps need dampen with a TDS (total dissolved soilds) measurement of 50 ppm (parts per million) or smaller quantity. In order to get this, you probably involve to use distilled water or reverse osmosis water or rainfall water. Their soil should be kept wet at adjectives times. It is best to use a tray and set the plant in about 1/2 inch of hose down. Humidity isn't that important. Fly traps can live fine in low humidity conditions. I own about a hundred plants and I live in Colorado where on earth the humidity in the summer is very low. They do great so long as they attain plenty of sunlight and clean water.

I would guess that your plant come potted already, so the media that it is potted in is probably fine. But if you entail to repot it, which wouldn't be a bad idea, you should use a combination of peat moss and perlite.

Good luck beside your fly trap and enjoy growing it!

tehy can live submersed in hose for months... you cant over water it, but dont over do it. keep it moist. within a dome bowl, with sand, spahgnum moss, and soil, about 1/4 sand, 1/4 spahgnum, and 2/4 soil,, preserve it hot, but not too hot. you can buy bugs at etsmart, there ment for lizards and reptiles but you can use the smallest crickets they have. perchance like 2ce a week a dead cricket.. Besides large humidity, they are adapted to growing in very poor soil, so they do not involve fertilizer - the plant gets its nitrogen and other nutrients from what it digests in the traps.
We have one & they are very hard to grow. They necessitate to be indoors in full sunlight (try an east or west window). They need to be very well watered-not flooded. I would also suggest making a dome for humidity-they love that. Good luck.
