Growing conditions
Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) by day by night winter rest a typical home the coldest it takes · for Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula)
Outdoor plant Needs full sun and a cold winter dormancy; declines as a year-round houseplant.What it needs in your home
Aim for: Outdoors in full sun, with a cold winter rest; not a year-round houseplant.
- 🌙Nights 50–70°F, close to an ordinary home. A few degrees' drop at night helps it grow.
- ☀️Days 70–95°F: normal room temperatures are fine.
- ❄️Coldest it takes 20°F, once dormant: it's hardy outdoors in much of the US.
- 💧Humidity 30–70%: an ordinary home is fine.
- 💡Light Full sun, 6+ h direct (ICPS); under LEDs, 12-16 h/day at ~15,000-25,000 lux
- 🚰Water and soil Mineral-free only (rain, distilled, RO; TDS under 50 ppm, the lower the better); tray method: stand in ~1 cm of water in the growing season; just damp in winter. Avoid top-watering (Tom's). Pot it in sphagnum peat, live/long-fibre sphagnum, or 1:1 peat:sand. ICPS warns against perlite and other potentially salty components..
- 🍂Winter rest Yes, Nov-Feb, about 3 months cold (~35-50F); dormant plants can survive brief hard freezes (about 36–50°F).
Bringing it home
No bag needed Happy in ordinary home humidity. A bag only helps tiny tissue-culture plantlets.

Sources disagree on whether indoor plants need dormancy. Tom's and most growers say yes; one ICPS-hosted page says it only matters outdoors in freezing climates.
