Growing Venus Flytraps in Extreme Heat: Summer Shelter Strategies for Las Vegas

Growing Venus Flytraps in Extreme Heat: Summer Shelter Strategies for Las Vegas

Flytraps tolerate soil temps up to 100°F; above 110°F they die. In Las Vegas, shelter plants during summer.

Cooling Techniques

• Fountain splashing water over soil constantly.
• 6-inch terracotta pot in standing water (¼ pot height)—evaporation cools soil 15–20°F.

Seasonal Relocation

Grow outdoors in spring/fall. When heat becomes extreme, move to a very sunny south window indoors. Return outdoors in late summer/early fall. Mild winters allow outdoor dormancy.

Good growing!
