bobcullen79 1,495 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Hey all, bought a venus fly trap just before xmas and shes been on the kitchen window sill since. It started to flower around a month ago. Thought I`d post it as Ive never seen one in flower before. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bobcullen79 1,495 Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 In all truth, it was a bit anti-climatic when a white flower popped. I wanted a "feed me Seymour" plant like in the little shop of horrors 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dpb82uk 138 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I had one a few year's back... it flowered then died.. same with the 1 i had i think if you dont let them flower they just keep growing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The one 8,398 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Very nice mate ive never kept one alive never mind flower , I was a bit disappointing with them as well trying to catch a fly to feed it and what a let down Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Millet 4,497 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 It's a fecking science type thing trying to keep them alive.. at certain time's of the year you have to bag them up and put them in the bottom of the fridge..feck that for a game of soldier's .. a tin of fly spray is much easier.. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stabba 10,745 Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 From about november to march just put em in the shed to go dormant. Fetch em out about this time of year. Trim the dead back then they should thrive. Soil is more important than actual insects/flies. to water i just use twice boiled water from the kettle. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
