You can grow any crop in hydro that can grow in soil. So i would assume so, at my hydroshop they even had some carrots and potatoes in hydro, get that.
Ok i just found out venus fly traps LOVE water, but not stagnent water, they have a root bulb, like small potato. But they dont like water with a tds higher than 100. So you can try it by they will probably get nute burn.

don't give them bud nuets....just use a aerogarden and try the nuets that come with it. I bet it will become a monster trap. And smoke with it daily.

My friend once had loads of venus fly traps. He'd go to the toilet and come back to them with a joint in their chompers. Thats not good for them though. But it makes a good picture.

I have a vft, they have to have pure water with no nutes. I dont see why hydro would not work. and they can live off 1 live bug a year.

They get most of the nutrients they need from eating bugs, it is just how they evolved. They are a cool compliment to any garden.

They are carnivorous plants. They eat bugs for nutrients. They do absorb a little through the roots but only a little they dont have much for leaves, and they rave a root bulb, so thats a massive source of sugar storage. They like water with a tds of 100 or less. Thats really low. Nutes raise tds.
