Can a Venus flytrap survive without bugs?
Although flytraps are carnivorous, they can go long periods (a month or two) without eating insects. If you grow them outdoors, they'll get enough to eat naturally. If you're growing Venus flytrap indoors, you'll have to feed them bugs periodically.
How often should I water my Venus flytrap?
Venus flytraps need to be watered every 2 to 4 days, depending on the season. The soil must be humid at all times but not flooded. They must be watered when the soil is slightly less moist but not dry. The water tray method is an effective watering practice to keep Venus flytraps healthy.
