I told myself I wouldn't, but here I am buying another Walmart Venus Flytrap living inside a death cube. I couldn't help myself, especially after losing one of my flytraps to root rot. Today I'm just going to video while I repot these flytraps and give some general care tips.

I'm seeing more and more people bring home these Walmart Venus flytraps with little to no knowledge of how to care for them. Many think a terrarium is the way to go but it's really not. They are not tropical plants and are actually quite cold hardy. They do not need high humidity but do enjoy to be left in full sun. Watch the video for more Venus Flytrap care tips and some common misconceptions!

    I bought this exact fly trap from Walmart and I was keeping it in the terrarium it came in and following the instructions on the back. I'm so glad I found your video and quickly learned how to properly take care of it. I bought the proper soil, bigger planter, and distilled water for it. The plant is now outside on my balcony and is thriving! Thank you for this informative video! 😊
  • @1peo_
    thank you so much. got one of these as a gift and i knew the directions on the weird plastic container couldn't be right. glad there's people who can actually take care of them lol
  • @beavisnsluthead
    I just bought one of these buddies at Walmart today and I've literally always wanted one since I was a kid. This was a super informative and helpful video for beginners like me who have no CLUE how to repot these guys. Thank you!
  • @sierabanda8146
    Thanks! My dog recently passed and I started taking care of an orchid for my mom and my dad brought home this plant for us but truth be told taking care of these plants have become important to me and your video was really helpful and informative and I would love to help support you! Anyway I would’ve donated the max amount but I have some shopping to do for my new plant :)
  • Just got a venus fly trap for my birthday! I'm very happy that lots of experienced carnivorous plant owners are sharing their care method online. Thank you for the plastic pot tip, etc. I hope I will be able to keep little Vinnie alive for a long time.
  • @AllThingsColey
    Just got mine from Lowe’s and I’m excited. Didn’t know they required so much care but this video was very helpful😊
  • We have had ours for a week now. Got it for my daughter she has been wanting one for nearly a year and I think she is ready to take care of one now that she is 4. Thank you for this informative video we appreciate you taking your time
  • @Michelle-sh6fz
    This video was incredibly wholesome. I'm going to Walmart tomorrow to get myself one along with some perlite, peat moss, and distilled water! Just a few questions: 1. I've heard that they catch bugs themselves when outside but also that they are only to be fed once a week, so would I have to worry about them "overfeeding" themselves? 2. How often should I water it? I've always thought that you can just put them in a tray of water and just refill it when low. Great video super informative and straight to the point.
  • Thank you for this video! We just bought one from Trader Joes and realized we dont know what to do. We got the soil and pot from your recommendation. Good luck with your nursery dreams!
  • This is one of the only good channel I could find that’s actually helpful!
  • @allfamyankee85
    Why don't you start selling the supplies needed for this lifestyle and use your video to promote them. Why buy it from someone else, when we can get it through you. Think about it, there is a space for you in that market and you already did the hard part, which is educating yourself. Keep doing your thing, keep evolving and familiarize yourself with marketing and sales. Good luck!!!

    I to am weak when I see carnivores anywhere. Thankfully I work in the industry so I can get fly traps for dirt cheap. My focus is sarracenia. I grow them outdoors here in Canada all year around. Nothing like seeing a bog garden full of sarracenia.
  • @froakie00o66
    Very helpful video! I'm new to planting, but have always had an interest in venus fly traps. I just got my first ones a few days ago, this video helped a lot in understanding these fascinating plants, thank you so much!!
  • Been growing cp for 20 years and you're giving sound advise in a smooth calming voice. Although old weathered terracotta pots are fine. All the minerals are washed away. Also have you tried using pure quarts sand for any of your American carnivores? Been growing a Leah Wilkerson and lavithan in pure sand outdoors all year here in Bavaria for 3 years now. They grow incredibly! Another reason I switched to sand is birds were stealing the moss and peat from pots and stole all my vft and sundews coming out of dormancy. Tip to those growing cp in long winter areas. Throw them in a tub together and stuff it with hay. They'll live
  • @ysaethwr
    I just rescued my first Venus fly trap! Your videos have been so helpful, thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge and experience. I’ve never really been a plant person, but I’m really committed to caring for this lil buddy. I named her Miss Ives. 😊
  • Thank you! I did just what you said. I got one (from Walmart) and realized I didn’t really know what to do! This has been so helpful! Repotting now!
  • @kaelynluvsya
    Just bought 2 today from Walmart! Thank goodness for videos like this one. They are almost entirely rotten. They each had one small mouth on the and some babies starting to sprout. I’ve planted them in 1 part peat moss (couldn’t obtain sphagnum moss today) 1 part perlite Using some distilled water and I’ve got them under a grow light. Right now they are both in a 4 in. Plastic pot. Absolutely anxious, absolutely hoping for their full recovery! These are my first carnivores plants! Other than years ago before I ever had any plants I got one and well it died. Now I have a better understanding, so here’s to plant rescue! 🤙🏼
