Growing Flytraps in El Paso: Yes, It's Possible

Joe, a tank gunner stationed in El Paso, wants to grow Venus flytraps and sundews despite near-zero humidity. He's concerned about mail delays for online orders.

Heat Matters More Than Humidity

Daytime highs over 100°F are the real challenge. Solution: "switch the seasons"—grow flytraps indoors in a sunny window during summer, move them outside in fall. Shade the pot (not the plant) from intense sun to prevent soil overheating. You'll need distilled or RO water.

Ordering Logistics

Tell the nursery when you'll be available to receive packages; they can time shipment so plants don't sit in mail limbo.

Good Growing and Thank You for Serving!
