Growing Venus Flytraps: Soil, Humidity, and Terrarium Tips

Native Conditions

Venus flytraps are native to North Carolina bogs → need highly organic, acidic soil and very high humidity.

Terrarium Setup

• Use a terrarium (not "terrainium").
• Include ventilation to prevent fungal disease.
• Soil mix: peat moss + sand/perlite (no fertilizer).
• Water with distilled/rainwater only.
• Bright indirect light; no direct hot sun.
