Venus fly traps require a variety of nutrients for optimal health. These include:
- Nitrogen
- Potassium
- Phosphorus
- Calcium
- Magnesium
- Trace minerals
Nitrogen is essential for leaf growth while phosphorus and potassium are important for photosynthesis and the overall hardiness of the plant. Calcium and magnesium are required for proper formation of the traps while trace minerals are necessary for overall health.

Does the Venus Flytrap need to be kept in the sun or the shade?
Venus flytraps nees 4 hours of direct sunlight per day.
What kind of heat do Venus Flytraps need?
Preferably the upper 80s or 90s, but they can survive at room temperature.
Do Venus fly traps need sunlight to live?
Yes they do. Although Venus flytraps are carnivorous plants, they still utilize photosynthesis to obtain most of the nutrients and energy they need to survive. Flytraps found in the wild need the extra nutrients they obtain from the insects they consume to provide them with nutrients the soil they inhabit doesn't have.
Do you need to feed a Venus Flytrap?
Unless there is a shortage of flies, or it looks like it is dying, you do not need to feed a Venus Flytrap for it to survive.
Why does Venus not fit the evolutionary theory?
You need living organisms to evolve and as far as we know Venus if lifeless.
Why does the Venus Flytrap eat animals?
Venus Flytraps eat flies and insects because their environment resulted in the need for nutrients contained in them. They adapted to that environment and developed the traps for catching flies.
Is a Venus Flytrap a heterotroph or autotroph?
It is an autotroph. It doesn't need to eat flies to survive. I had a venus fly trap and never gave it flies and it lived just fine with photosynthesis. Heterotrophs need to eat others to live.
Do Venus Flytraps have to eat bugs?
Yes. As their habitat lacks good quality nutrients and the chemical, Nitrogen, it is mandatory that the Flytrap gets its energy from other sources - eating insects. Photosynthesis alone would not keep the Venus Flytrap alive.
Do all anoles need the same living conditions?
no
What major changes in living conditions and working conditions?
Your answer depends on the time and place. Need a bit more from you to answer.
What does a Venus Flytrap have that lures insects to them?
A Venus Flytrap needs insects in order to survive like any other plant. As they typically grow in a boggy environment with few nutrients, insects are the best way for the Venus Flytrap to survive and feed on.
Would a Venus Flytrap make a good class pet?
Depending on where you live is the case. Venus Flytraps live in tropical regions, so it will have to be pretty warm. And you'll need plenty of small insects, and you must water them a lot. If you have all those necessary procedures, the plant would make a great class pet.
