😱 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

Sunshine and a steady 8 knots for breeze brought 14 boat in YTC 1 for the annual KYC Open Keel Boat event. The race committee set two great course with the first race running for just under 2 hours followed by a shorter 1 hour second rave. The local A35 showed everyone a clear pair of heel to win the Bennett Cup with two victories, with the time on GTR scoring to 2 & a 4 to win on count back. GTR owned the boat end of the line for the second start of the day boxing out Exlir and a pack of Impala's that tried to barge in. Strangford lough is a great place to go racing on a sunny spring day. The Team at Bottom up boats will remember to pack the GoPro for their next outing to ensure we can share some more racing footage.....
