Keep the plant in cold temperatures for several months, outdoors in a sunny spot if possible. If you live in a snowy area, move the plant to a sunny windowsill in an unheated room or garage.Potting Medium: Avoid using a potting medium with nutrients. Venus Fly Traps prefer nutrient-free media like peat moss or sphagnum moss. Sustainably managed Canadian peat moss is available in my shop with the ability to combine shipping. 🌱 Additional Tips:Dormancy Care: Venus Fly Traps need a winter dormancy to thrive. If you live in a colder climate, they can be overwintered indoors in a sunny window in an unheated room.Water Quality: Avoid using tap water; distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis water is ideal.
