The Venus Fly trap is a unique carnivorous plant. It looks like a creature from an alien movie but don't let this plant scare you, it only munches on insects! With its leaves ending in little claw like hands, this plant closes the instant an insect lands on it.
The Venus Fly Trap originates from coastal bogs of North and South Carolina. They have adapted to low nutrient environments by using the insects they eat to give them the nutrients they need.
Substrate needed: The substrate needs to be nutrient poor, acidic and well draining. Typically a good blend is 1:1 sphagnum peat moss and perlite. This mimics the bogs they are from. Always use distilled water when watering your Venus Fly Trap.
As long as you keep up with the watering, let them take care of catching the flies!
Scientific Name: Dionaea muscipula
Common Name: Venus Fly Trap
Light Requirements: Bright indirect light, direct sun
Water: Use ONLY distilled, rain or reverse osmosis water. They grow in bogs so they like to have wet soil. Make sure the air flow is good. Be sure to take them out of their packaging as soon as you get it home.
Pet Safe: Yes

If I could only grow one variety of tomatoes each year, Candyland would be it. These teeny toms literally taste like pops of sugar, and are non-stop, prolific producers. Long after other tomatoes in my gardens are finished, Candyland produce until hard frost kills the plant.
Type: Indeterminate, vining variety. Needs staking. You can read about the difference between Determinate and Indeterminate tomatoes here: Determinate vs. Indeterminate Tomatoes
Height: Indeterminate height
Light: Full sun
Soil: Rich soil. Use good quality compost around plants and mulch well.
Water: Consistently keeping soil moist, but not wet, will results in good growth and happy tomatoes. Inconsistent moisture can lead to "Blossom End Rot". Always water tomatoes at the base of the plant never getting water on the leaves.
Planting:
- Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost date. Use a heating mat to aid germination as they love to be warm! If you don't have a heating mat, you can sit the seeds on top of the fridge to get some warmth.
- Harden off* and then transplant to the garden after all frost danger is gone.
- Bury them deep! Plant the whole stem into the ground, not just the roots leaving only a few top leaves showing. The plant will put out roots from the buried stem,
- They make great container plants.
- DO NOT crowd plants. This leads to poor circulation and disease
Harvest: Matures in 55-60 days from transplant. (from the day they are planted outside)
* Hardening off refers to the process of gently and gradually acclimatizing indoor grown seedlings to the great outdoors! Don't throw your new babies straight into the elements! Over the course of a week, take them outside for a few hours at a time, bringing them back indoors afterwards. First sit them in the shade and then slowly introduce them to the sun. Increase the length of time they are outside and are exposed to the sun, until you feel they are ready to face the big outside world!
Other tips:
Pruning out suckers on your plant will help it put more of it's energy into fruit production. Suckers appear between the main stem and the branches and can be easily taken out with your fingers.
