VENUS FLYTRAP
Venus Flytraps will need at least 4- 6 hours of direct sunlight every day but optimal conditions are 12 hours of direct sun. If you plan to keep it indoors, it is best to put it in a southern-facing window or any window where it will receive a minimum of 4 hours of direct sun. If using grow lights indoors, allow them to get at least 10-16 hours of light with at least 1500 lumens.
We recommend taking your plant outside during the summer months in order to give it plenty of light. Be sure to slowly acclimate your plant to the outdoors by adding 1-2 hours of direct sun it receives per week.
