Does the Venus flytrap need to be watered every day? Can it be watered with tap water?

1. Do you need to water it every day?

Generally speaking, it does not need to be watered every day, except in the hot summer when it needs watering every day. It does not need watering every day in other seasons. However, when adding water, do not add too much water to avoid waterlogging in the pot.

2. Can tap water be used for watering?

It can be watered with tap water, but it is more appropriate to leave the water directly from the tap for a day before watering. This will filter out the chlorine in the tap water and watering the plants will not harm them. However, you can also use river water, rain water, and well water for irrigation. If conditions permit, you can use clean purified water.

3. How often should I water?

Generally, watering is done every two to three days in spring and autumn, and it is best to water in the morning and evening. In summer, it is best not to replenish water at noon, so as to avoid the high temperature at noon causing too large a temperature difference in the water and damaging the plants. You can choose to water after 2 pm. The temperature is relatively low in winter, so you only need to water the plants once every 7 days, preferably at noon when the temperature is relatively high.
