They rally need to be outside. A mix of sand and peat, with orchid moss on top is a good mix.... not the soil from your backyard.

I Agree. Outside and in FULL SUN all day. But you'll have to slowly get them used to the Sun if they don't get any now.

Just say NO to terrariums for CPs. Peat moss and sand or peat moss and perlite. A 50/50 mix of either is fine.

Thanks for the tips. I actually put in a pot with my other venus flytrap, that I bought the other day, & it is doing well in the peat moss, I believe it`s called.

Thanks for the help, it seems to be doing well, but I will know better in a week or so i`m assuming.

One more question actually. I have 3 traps on the plant with a red hue in the mouth,is this caused by being in direct sunlight...? I would like to know how to get the rest of the traps looking the same.However, my flytrap`s have both green & red hue mouth one`s.

Yes, the more Sun the more red they tend to be. They should be out in full Sun, every day, all day.

If I'm not mistaken, orchid moss is a no-no. Use long fibered sphagnum moss. Is that right guys?

Orchid moss from Lowes, $4.24, is LFS. That's the good stuff. Spanish moss is that bad stuff.

i used sphangum miracle grow moss would that work? i was kind of worried because on the internet it said no fertelizers so i was wondering how that would work.
i am in arkansas right now but will be going to rural indiana in a week

Get rid of the Miracle grow and buy a $4.24 bag of "orchid moss" from Lowes.
