I got my Venus flytrap as few years ago and it hasn’t disappointed me with catching flies. All flies that dared to enter my room would shortly(1-3 days) be caught by the flytrap.
I notice you have some extremely long ones compared to the older ones at the bottom. Mine did the exact same thing when spring hit this year-- this season’s have a couple that are waaaay longer than anything it’s produced before. Wonder what’s up w that
It’s pushing new heads like crazy, and they are all very long. It’s my first Sarracenia so I have no idea of what is normal or not. Maybe this year’s Spring is ideal for them?
Good plant. Very nice of it to get rid of the FUCKING FLY! I personally prefer my salt shotgun and the 30 spiders in my house because im clinically unable to not mess up plants, its either to much or not enough of something… Usually light or water, sometimes they hate the soil itself.
If I had a massive spider infestation, yeah, I’d want to investigate. But fruit flies and mosquitoes come and go often enough anyway. Presumably enough to sustain one or two spiders.
Had a bit of a gnat (I guess?) problem last summer because they’re small enough to get through my window screens. Made me crazy, but even then I don’t think they were actually nesting in my home.
