My plant is dying! HELP!?
I got this weird-ass looking plant in the wholesale flower district last week and I can NOT make it stop wilting on me. I’ve tried everything I know of but there’s just no reaction whatsoever. It might help if I could identify it in any of my books, but I just can’t quite peg the species. All I can tell is that it looks like some kind of flytrap.
Seriously I’ve tried rain water, different climate controlled environments, mineral supplements, the WORKS. Plus I work in a damned FLORIST shop so you’d think something around here would do the trick but I just haven’t seen any results. I’m freaking out a bit because my boss basically made it clear that if this stupid fricking plant dies, I get FIRED so I really need all the help you can give!
Is it a Venus fly trap? If so, here are the basic things Venus Fly Traps require to stay healthy:
1. Sunlight – at least 4 hours of direct sunlight a day
2. Water – rain, distilled or reverse osmosis water only
3. Soil – Nutrient poor soil such as peat moss
4. Dormancy – Venus Fly Traps require a 3-4 month dormancy period
Venus fly traps like lots of light. Try to give it at least 4 hours of direct sunlight a day. The more you can give it the better. It is best to grow your fly trap outside where it can get plenty of sun and catch its own food. You don’t actually have to feed a Venus Fly Trap anything other than sunlight and water. If you do choose to feed it, it only needs a few bugs a month and don’t feed it anything other than insects.
Venus fly traps need clean water. Usually tap water will not do. It is best to use distilled water, rain water, or reverse osmosis water. Venus fly traps need water with a TDS (total dissolved solids) measurement of 50 ppm (parts per million) or less. In order to get this, you probably need to buy distilled water or reverse osmosis water or collect rain water. Their soil should be kept moist at all times except during the winter when it should be just barely damp. Be careful not to over water the plant. The best way to water it is using the tray method. Allow the tray to dry out for a day or two before refilling it with an inch or so of water (assuming you’re using a fairly deep pot), and you should let the tray dry out longer (6 to 8 days or until the soil is barely damp) when the plant is dormant.
For soil you can use a combination of peat moss and/or perlite and/or silica sand. Most growers use a 50:50 mix of peat moss and perlite. Venus Fly Traps aren’t picky, but be sure to use some form of peat moss or sphagnum peat moss with perlite or silica sand to ensure that the media is nutrient poor. I typically use 5 parts peat, 3 parts silica sand and 2 parts perlite. This provides good aeration to the soil so that they can grow a healthy root system and get very large. Also, deep pots with good insulation help the plant grow larger and stronger by giving them more room and protection for their roots.
Finally, without a dormancy period, your plant’s health will start to decline and it will eventually die. Your plant should be dormant right now. You can read more about dormancy here:
