They can’t live on soil nutrients in soil where there are no nutrients, which is where they evolved
I just looked up the other day how to take care of the venus flytrap my son insisted we buy. It said it needs poor soil, do not fertilize it, and that they get their nutrients from their prey (and should be fed if kept indoors).
They’re a huge pain in the ass to take care of. Ours died because it got rained on
i love nature
a plant can evolve to survive in soil without any nutrients by becoming carnivorous, but rain? that’s a step too far buddy
also reminds me of lurking in the magic mushroom growing subreddit, in the wild those mushrooms can grow on literal cow shit, but in people’s homes they die if their rice is not sterile enough

TRICHODERMA MY ARCH NEMESIS
Plant it in peat moss mixed with sand and only water with distilled water or rainwater. It needs a lot of light too, so keep it near a south facing window
This is actually bad advice if the sun is to the north
Most of us don’t have to worry about that.
I keep mine in sphagnum moss, and water it with distilled water.
And sometimes, just sometimes, deer eat meat. Nature is wild.
doesn’t it have to get minerals or something from the insects it eats? if you fertilize them they’ll die
I was always told that the traps die but the plant lives on if it’s getting enough from the soil.
Look ma! The plants are just like me!
intrusive thoughts
i mean, do you always choose the vegan option?
