Venus Flytrap growing

So you’ve stumbled onto our website about Venus flytraps. The site is owned by Noah and the articles are written by Ryan Hellyer.

Ryan has  been growing Venus flytraps since he was about 10 years old. Through trial and lots of error, he discovered that they’re not that easy to grow and contrary to what the plant shop says, they are very easy to kill. Ryan’s first few plants died horrible deaths due to having zero knowledge of how to maintain them. Through lots of research he learned that he was doing most things wrong and the advice received from so called ‘experts’ was actually causing more harm than good. Research into the best cultivation practices over the years honed his Venus flytrap growing skills to the point where most of his recent plants have survived for multiple years without dying

There’s a heap of information out there on Venus flytraps, some good, some bad. But mostly the information is disorganised, difficult to find or the websites are just plain ugly. So this site is our attempt to make learning about Venus flytraps simple, interesting and entertaining.

Some information about Ryan

Ryan has a Master of Science degree from the University of Otago in New Zealand. His Venus flytraps live indoors where they’re fed a steady stream of distilled water. Ryan’s flatmates (room mates) seem quite disturbed by his morbid fascination of feeding bugs to plants but it doesn’t stop him from growing them.
