Nutrient, fertilizer, and repotting needs for Red Dragon Fly Trap: repot after 2X growth

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.

By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.

My ✨FIRST✨ Venus Fly Trap bloom!!!!!!! It's on my Red Dragon Fly Trap that I keep in a bog garden under a light with a red forked sundew (that has constantly been blooming. Maybe I should trim the old ones? 😂) I can't wait to see the bloom! I'm considering moving these two outside when it's warm enough to get more color in them. The little container comes all the way out so it would be easy to do. #cpclubthursday #venusflytrap #reddragonflytrap #carnivorousplants #carnivorousclub #jesssjungle #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #newgrowth #blooming #bloomingcarnivores
