If you have followed our “Plant sex: Growing more flytraps” then you will hopefully have a series of tiny Venus flytrap plantlets growing. These seedlings will take two to three years to grow to a resonable size. In the mean time, your plantlets will not be large enough to catch regular house flies, however luckily they will still be able to catch much smaller bugs to provide them with the nutrience they desire until they can start catching those big blow flys we all love to hate. Conveniently, even if your plantlets do not catch any bugs at all, they should still survive okay and eventualy grow into the huge fly chomping machines we all know and love.
The advice for maintaining your seedlings is essentially the same as for a full-grown plant. Don’t fertilize it, give it plenty of light and make sure it gets plenty of good, clean water.
