   Can you grow Venus fly traps indoors?

   • You can easily mimic these conditions indoors with an acidic, moisture retentive compost. It's widely thought that peat-based composts are necessary for growing Venus fly traps but, due to advancements in peat-free composts, this is no longer true – indeed there are some peat-free mixes designed specifically for growing carnivorous plants.

   Do Venus Fly Traps need fertilising?

   • Venus fly traps do not need fertilising. Instead, feed fortnightly with live insects. Simply catch an insect such as a fly and then gently lower it into one of the traps, using tweezers. As soon as the fly comes into contact with the fine hairs in the trap, the trap will close. Do not force the trap shut – this can harm the plant.

   Are Venus fly traps dangerous?

   • Most Venus fly traps are grown as house plants, where their insect trapping actions can be observed up close. Many people, particularly children, push their finger into the traps or try to force them shut to see them in action – while this is tempting and completely harmless to you, this does waste the plant's energy and should be avoided.
