How to trim a Venus Fly Trap

[acarnivorous]

good job!

[bettabreeder01]

what kind of venus fly trap is that? just wondering

[bladefans123]

keep making vids they are good

[jujufrawg168]

It looks like you may need to transport your vft to a bigger pot; the roots look like they're pushing up the soil. Just a hunch, but other then that, very informative :3

Ok. . .. I just got a vft for a gift from my boss. I love it. I love plants. I am so sad because I feel that I have already MESSED it up. I didn't know anything about dormant. SO I cut a hole in the top of the plant home and tried to catch a bug for it. and the flower.. the big tall thing in the middle. is not a flower YET.. but it is so tall.. It stands taller than a pencil.. maybe 12 CM. Please tell me what to do..thank you for your help

@MrsRat2U The flower on a VFT will take a lot of the plants energy so if you want the traps to continue growing then it is advisable to cut the flower stem off. Or alternatively you could pollinate the flowers by rubbing some of the pollen on to the stigma so it will produce some seeds. Hope this helps

I have some questions: 1.Where did you bought that VFT? 2.Dorna its distilated water? 3.Did you attract that fly in "how to care for a venus fly trap"? 4.If you did how do I attract them? 5.I saw one half live, half black leave,should you cut it or not? 6.I sunt roma^n too! 7.You're an expert in VFT! 8.Funny!VFT sounds like an experimental dangerous!

OK, the last two where not questions!^-^

Ma bucur ca esti roman pt k pot sa ma exprim mai bn 7. multumesc :) 8. asa e... Sper ca te-am lamurit. Multzumesc ca te-ai uitat la video. Te rog da-i o nota :) Sall

do the leaves need to be attached to the plant for it to turn to soil

[Mad3InRomania]

nope

[HospitalWaste]

if i stick my finger into the venus fly trap will it close and try to digest me??

Also im thinking about buying one, Do i need to feed it flies or will it attract its own flies? I heard one time that they have a layer of sweet nectar inside their jaws that attracts flies.  Also how many flies does it eat?? how often would i have to put a fly into the leaves??

[Mad3InRomania]

... -_- watch my tutorial video. its called "how to care for a venus fly trap" find it on my channel

[TheRafield]

Its a plant, it cant digest you or anything, its inofensive to you. No, the plant attacts the flies itself with the nectar as you already know but they are not REALLY necessary so 3 or 4 a month should be more than fine.

[TheInfection123]

if i cut the leaves then put it in da soil will it still turn to soil

[Mad3InRomania]

yes they do. but this is pointless. if you want them to turn intro soil just leave them alone :P

[TheInfection123]

so do dead leaves really turn to soil or what

[Mad3InRomania]

yup :) in a few months

[Mad3InRomania]

cut ONLY the completly black leaves!
