Question

What worms can i feed to my venus flytrap?

Answer 1

Why do you want to feed your venus fly trap worms?  If you really want to feed it, you should feed it insects.  Any kind of insect will do.  All you really need to feed your flytrap is lots of sunlight and clean water. If you grow your flytrap outside, and you really should so it can get sufficient light, it will catch all the food it needs on its own.

Try to give your flytrap at least 4 hours of direct sunlight a day and it will be a happy and healthy plant. You can read more about venus fly traps here:

Answer 2

I thought it was flies they liked

Answer 3

Why don't you feed flies to your flytrap?

Answer 4

they calll it a fly trap because it eats flys. Flys have more nutrients than a piece of hamburger. so swat a fly and feed it. or black ants or any nice big bug it can close in on.

Answer 5

earth worms are too big for a fly trap .they wil close on it but it will sit there and end up rotting the plant.

If you want to feed your plants, you must find bugs. Bugs,  I recommend small caterpillars, flies, spiders, crickets, slugs, and very small children.( joke) I do not recommend ants (the leaves are often damaged afterwards), moths (too much fuzz), butterflies (too cute), or beetles (too much sturdy exoskeleton). A warning about caterpillars and other leaf-crunching arthropods--make sure that these or other bugs you feed to your plant cannot eat their way out! a caterpillar can nibble its way out of several  plant's traps before finally being defeated. Too bad---usually caterpillars are fab food. ( maybe you couldkill and cut them up)

I have been told that maggots make good food for Venus flytraps.  Apparently you can buy maggots at fish bait stores (and other quality maggot outlets). The maggots are packaged in sawdust.but  The maggots can usually escape from the traps, so  the maggot must first be "pierced with a toothpick."

When feeding your plants, do not give a trap any food that is bigger than about 1/3 the size of the trap.(VERY IMPORTANT) If you give the plant a bug that is too large, bacterial rot will often set in and kill the leaf. Plants in the wild and really well grown plants in cultivation can eat larger prey, but for beginners, the 1/3 trap size is a good rule for prey dimensions.

Answer 6

Feed it tiny bits of raw hamburger.
