The Venus Fly Trap, or Dionaea muscipula, is a fascinating carnivorous plant that captures and feeds on insects. The 2.25" Venus Fly Trap is a small, yet impressive specimen that is perfect for indoor growing or as part of a terrarium setup. Its leaves are modified into small traps that are triggered by the movements of its prey. Once the trap is triggered, it closes shut, trapping the insect inside where it is slowly digested.
To thrive, the Venus Fly Trap requires a moist growing environment and plenty of sunlight. It should be grown in a well-draining soil mix and kept well-watered using distilled or rainwater. It's also important to avoid fertilizing the plant, as it is adapted to nutrient-poor soils.
