🌱 Care Guide

Light:
Requires bright light to full sun. Best grown outdoors in a sunny position or indoors with plenty of direct sunlight.

Water:
Use distilled or rainwater only. Keep soil consistently moist by sitting the pot in a shallow tray of water. Do not let it dry out.

Humidity:
Prefers moderate to high humidity but adapts well outdoors in Sydney conditions.

Temperature:
Thrives between 20°C to 30°C. Requires a dormancy period in cooler months where growth slows.

Soil:
Use a specialised carnivorous plant mix (peat moss and perlite). Do not use regular potting soil.

Feeding:
Feeds naturally on insects. Avoid overfeeding; traps will catch their own prey if kept outdoors.

Pet Friendly:
⚠️ Non-toxic but not suitable for handling by pets or small children due to delicate traps.
