Venus Flytrap Trap Closure Issue: Insufficient Light Diagnosis

Geraldine in Pretoria (SA) has young flytrap with traps closing after 1-2 days under 2x14W 6500K CFLs. Jeff Dallas: "Your plant doesn't look bad or abnormal for a young plant. It probably does need more light, however." Flytraps need vegetable-garden sun levels. "Wherever you put a Venus Flytrap, you should be able to grow a tomato plant there." Move outdoors with tray water, sunny location. Volume #1 DVD and caresheet recommended.

Good Growing!
