Flytrapsssss?

Question

do i have to feed a venus flytrap and do they need water?

Answer 1

Venus flytraps need water..

If you grow your plant outside, it will get enough insects to eat. If it rains the container may fill up with water but this will not hurt the plants, they can live underwater for months. If you grow your plant inside you will need to feed it insects. A couple of houseflies or small slugs per month is enough during the growing season. Do your plant a favor and DO NOT feed your Venus flytrap plants hamburger! Indigestion and rot may occur and usually your plant will die. Find a "just right" sized bug instead!

Answer 2

Venus Flytraps require high humidity enivronments - So if you aren't keeping them in a closed container, a spray of water every day will do them a world of good.

To answer the question more directly, yes they need water.

It isn't necessary for you to feed the Flytrap, although it can be amusing to. If you choose not to, you must fertilie the flytrap occasionally to make up for the lost nutrition.
