Venus Fly Traps are very hardy perennial plants. This means that they grow and bloom over the spring and summer and then die back to a small rosette every winter, growing back in the spring from their energy reserves saved up in the rhizome or root-stock. They can withstand frost and light freezes. However, freezes that last an extended period of time can kill Venus Fly Trap. It is very important to use nutrient POOR soil to grow Venus Flytraps. Regular potting soil will burn the roots and kill the plant very quickly. Fertilizing Venus Fly Traps is also not recommended. The fertilizer will burn the roots and likely kill the plant. Some experts use extremely diluted fertilizer and apply it only to the leaves of the plant, but this is risky for a beginner and not recommended.

I would leave the plant indoors. Since the plant likes humidity, on humid days can you place it outside, but not directly in the sunlight but should be brought back inside.

I think that I read that you can use the same soil mix for up to three years, with no special care in the winter, from what I recall. But I'm not sure about perennials. Perhaps you could ask them on their FB page or e-mail them directly.

It depends on where you live. If you are south of TN or MO you can plant them anytime. I live in a slightly colder area so I keep mine as house plants in winter. In the summer I divide them. Some go in the garden as annuals (though some come back) and the rest as hanging baskets or porch pots. Anyway you use them, they are wonderful.

Most certainly. I grow cold season annuals in mine in zone seven. It's too difficult to keep it the proper temperature for tender plants.

No. It is a "living natural tree" which is "miniaturized" (if you bought to "bonsai" it), thus, must be kept in a cool/cold environment (outside). It is NOT a houseplant. It is a deciduous plant and will stay dormant for about 3 months during the winter season. You can keep it in your garage if you must - away from strong wind. since it is "dormant", it will not require much light.

IMHO this is the best "grass" for the Phoenix metro area. I have an entire lawn and have found it to be truly perennial, as it grows year round. Plus it stays green and looks and feels like a carpet. Be sure to kill all weeds before planting, especially crabgrass, as it's a pain to remove once the dichondra comes in.

As far as I know "No". You get a really healthy plant, the seller I got mine from was fantastic. I read in the review someone had problems, but I have not.

I think you can still plant it as it will grow as long as it's warm. Mine came up within 3 days of planting so it would still have all of August and September to grow. If you are in Texas like me, it will have October and part of November to grow. If you get some blooms, they will turn into seeds you can plant next year.

It depends on what part of the contry you are in. I plant mine in spring after danger of frost.

I'm in Northern Michigan where it is sub zero temps so I purchased it to be a year round indoor plant. I haven't transplanted it.

Yes, you can plant it, just protect it from frost, I will be uncovering mine this week.

Yes, they are perennial here in upstate NY. However, the rabbits like to eat them. We lost a couple to the rabbit family that live under our deck. Good luck

Probably not if you just plant and leave it. Beware, this is a coastal redwood and requires winter protection. If you want to try something to plant in the ground shoot for dawn redwood. This has a better chance.

Nope, they cannot. You are supposed to plant it outside when there is no more threat of frost, then after the summer, before it frost out, cut the leaves off down to the ground, dig up the bulb of the plant, put it in a brown paper bag, store it in your house somewhere warm and dry, when summer comes back around you can plant it back outside, give it lots of water and it will come back, and you'll get more bulbs every year.. That's how we plant these in maryland, they are for summertime only.

I planted mine in the spring, but it never grew. Check with your local nursery.

I have one planted in a container and bring it in in the winter. This is my 2 nd year and I have two blooms on it. Just set it outside last week! I let mine dry out before I water it. it grew over the winter and can't wait to see what it does this spring and summer
