Product Information
Dionaea muscipula, better known as the venus fly trap, is a fascinating carnivorous plant native to the coastal regions of North and South Carolina in the United States. The venus flytrap's most striking characteristic lies in its extraordinary ability to capture and digest insects. Its specialized leaves, known as traps, feature sensitive hairs that, when they sense movement, cause the trap to quickly snap shut and trap unsuspecting prey. This feature makes the Dionaea muscipula an exciting addition to any plant collection.
Care
In terms of plant care, the Venus flytrap needs specific attention to thrive. It thrives in a humid environment, requiring the use of distilled water or rainwater. In addition, adequate sunlight is essential for its growth. The venus flytrap prefers nutrient-poor soil. As for nutrition, although the plant can catch its own prey, supplemental feeding with small insects such as fruit flies can help it grow and develop. The right balance of moisture, light and appropriate nutrition is key to the successful care of Dionaea muscipula.
Plant height
The plants have a height of 5 to 10cm when delivered (measured incl. pot). The plants are delivered in pots with a diameter/diameter of 5.5cm.
