😱 Did you know? Venus flytraps don’t actually NEED you to hand-feed them to survive! They’re carnivorous but get most of their energy from photosynthesis — just like any other plant. The bugs they catch act more like a natural fertilizer (extra nitrogen & nutrients) that helps them grow bigger traps and stay extra healthy. ✅ If your flytrap is outdoors in full sun: It will catch plenty of flies, ants, and spiders on its own. You rarely need to do anything! ✅ Indoors: You can feed it occasionally (1-2 small bugs per month max, like a fly or bloodworm) if you want faster growth. But don’t overdo it — triggering too many traps wastes the plant’s energy. Pro tips for happy flytraps: • Use only distilled, rainwater, or RO water (tap water kills them with minerals) • Bright direct sunlight (or strong grow lights) — 8+ hours a day • Nutrient-free soil (peat moss + perlite mix) • Never use fertilizer! Drop a ❤️ if you have a Venus flytrap and tell me: indoor or outdoor? Watch it loop and see that satisfying snap again! 🪴✨ #VenusFlytrap #CarnivorousPlants #PlantCare #Flytrap

With a 100% flat panel construction that has made the Arrow Series such a popular design. ▫️ The Arrow 1280-S evolved from the Arrow 1200: a stretched version with a large cockpit with the door set to port, allowing a big table and plenty of seating for entertaining guests. Dual helms are standard and set on the outer hull edge giving good visibility of the sails. ▫️ The saloon has a U-shaped galley and saloon with the nav station amidships to port, with the single head and shower located aft. Dual double berths are located on the bridgedeck forward, with access from each hull. ▫️ A single berth in the starboard bow and additional double berth aft give the 1280-S plenty of living space. ▫️ LOA- 12.80 metres BOA- 6.80 metres DRAFT- 0.400 metres SAIL AREA (Main) - 67 sq metres SAIL AREA (Jib) - 31 sq metres PAYLOAD 1500 kg DISPLACEMENT 4500 kg BRIDGEDECK CLEARANCE 0.750 metres BEAM TO LENGTH RATIO 15.2:1 ▫️ ▫️ ▫️ #selfbuild #catamaran #multihulls #catamarans #sailing #schionning #speedmachine #arrow1280 #yachts #schionningarrow #performancecatamarans #katamarans #yachtdesign
