Ideally, your Venus Fly Trap needs to eat once every other week. This means only one trap on the entire plant should be fed in that time! Only feed your plant live or freshly killed bugs. Other food could kill it.

Can you overfeed a Venus fly trap?
You can't overfeed your flytrap. The more you feed it, the stronger the plant will become. “On each plant at least one trap should be feeding on something at all times,” said D'Amato.
How many times should you feed a Venus fly trap?
You will only need to feed your plant about four times per year, one bug feeding at a time. Do not overfeed or your plant may die. Carnivorous plant color will be green in your home, but with bright light, plants can grow more reddish in color.
Should I water my Venus fly trap every day?
Most fly traps will only need to be watered every 10 to 14 days. The soil should become much drier (though never fully dry). The soil directly around the base and roots should be slightly damp, while the rest of the soil is dry. Water the plant like you would any other time, making sure to water thoroughly.
How Long Can Venus flytraps go without food?
Although flytraps are carnivorous, they can go long periods (a month or two) without eating insects. If you grow them outdoors, they'll get enough to eat naturally.
