Here is a guide for transporting your plant out of the blue gel.

I recommend rinsing your venus flytrap(s) in warm distilled water to help melt the gel off. It makes the process easier. I let mine sit in warm water for a couple minutes. The gel will get moldy and kill your plant if not clean off properly.

If your venus flytrap leaves start turning black after planting don’t worry. Look at the center of the plant for new growth. If you see a green bump in the middle its still alive.

Humidity is a big issue when you take them out of the bottle. I planted mine in regular carnivorous soil and had a large plastic bowl with a hole at the top and covered my plant with it. have your planter stand in a tray with around an inch of distilled water 24/7. Don’t water from the top, just refill the tray. I use a self watering planter I got from amazon.

If you put it in a glass bowl you risk the plant molding since water will just sit at the bottom drowning the roots. It may be possible but good luck. Here is a video of a guy making a flytrap terrarium. He admits that the flytraps could die and its an experiment.

Most people recommend a plastic planter that stands in water. The plant will be moist but its roots won’t be swimming in water. It’s also why perlite is used. It helps keep the soil airy rather than swampy.

I would occasionally spray the bowl with distilled water if it looked dry. Use a grow light or place your plant by a sunny window. Light is very important.

Everyday take the bowl off your plant for a couple hours to allow it to acclimate and receive fresh air. After a few days, take the bowl off a couple hours longer then start leaving it off all night. You can remove the bowl when at work and periodically check on it. If it looks dry, put the bowl back over the flytrap.

After a couple weeks to a month, your flytrap should be like any other normal flytrap and you don’t need a “humidity bowl” anymore. You may have to acclimate it to the outside weather if it’s different from your inside temperature/humidity.

My flytraps are outside in a dry desert climate with humidity as low as 10. Flytraps don’t like to be wet but rather have moist soil. I recommend a 50/50, peat moss/perlite mix. Make sure your soil has zero fertilizers. You can also buy pre-made carnivorous soil on Amazon for around $12.

Unless you have a grow light, you should have your venus flytrap outside in the sun. Light is the best food for a Venus flytrap. You don’t really have to feed it. If you do, you can feed it once a month freeze dried bloodworms (dry fish food). If you have small traps, a bloodworm paste can be made by mixing worms and distilled water. You can get them from your local pet/fish store. Over feeding can harm the plant. However, they seem fine when they catch a lot of their own food.

They also need a winter dormancy. Just like how trees need to lose their leaves in the winter, your flytrap needs to lose theirs as well.

Good luck! :)
