Characteristics

The Venus Fly Trap is a carnivorous plant that is composed of 4-7 leaves, each containing its own trap at the end. The mouth-like trap is filled with hair-like trichomes that trigger the trap when stimulated. This unique plant feeds on small insects by closing its trap and releasing digestive enzymes to consume its prey.

How to Care for Venus Fly Traps

  • Light: Bright indirect light. Avoid placing in direct sunlight.
  • Water Preferences: Soil should be kept consistently moist, but not soggy. Avoid letting it sit in water to prevent root rot.
  • Special Care/Notes: This plant prefers moist/humid conditions. Consider keeping it in a terrarium.
