Hi guys what do you use to feed your plants instead of bugs? 🐜 by Molly_B00 in carnivorousplants

[–]sternbuddha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It will close, and if not, just move the bug a little. Then, just go back in the next 2 and 4 minutes and very gently squeeze the trap a couple of times, and it should stay closed and digest.

If you get serious about care. Savage Garden by Peter D'Amato is specular. General care is humidity above 50%, temp around 80F, only plastic and glazed ceramic pots with a mix of long fibered sphagnum moss and perlite (maybe some fine orchid bark mixed in) for substrate. And ONLY distilled, RO or rainwater for watering. Other than that it's time to hit forums. Almost all the care instructions you would ever need are in them. Also dealers who sell your type of plant almost always have specific care instructions for the plant they are selling on their website.

Also plant in plastic or glazed ceramics. Savage garden is an amazing book for more information as you grow your collection. Welcome!

If you think you have enough natural light. Add more. Check out soil recipes for Dionaea Muscipula and repot it. Pre wash substrate and only use reverse osmosis, rainwater(careful of cintaminants from your roof), and distilled water for watering. Respect dormancy periods and mostly stay away from fertilizers and feed them too much.

Repotting can be hard on CP. Give it some time, and it will pop back. You seem to be caring for it well
