VFT Flowering


Question
Hi,

I have three pots of venus flytraps, two of which has flower buds.  One pot though has almost 15 flower buds and I have only had them flower once before.  What do I need to do to get seeds from them.  I live in Bonifay, Florida (Northwestern Florida Panhandle) and they are regular vft breeds.

Thanks,
~ Kolton

Answer
Hi Kolton,

You really don't need to do anything.  Flytraps self-pollinate very readily.  In all my years of growing flytraps, I've always had seeds from flytraps in my personal collection.  Just let nature do her thing!
