About Venus Fly Trap

The Venus Fly Trap, scientifically known as Dionaea Muscipula, is one of nature’s most fascinating carnivorous plants. Native to the subtropical wetlands of the East Coast of the United States, the Venus Fly Trap has evolved an incredible mechanism for catching its prey – mainly insects and spiders. Its distinctive trap-like leaves close quickly when triggered, catching and digesting its prey to absorb nutrients.

Venus Flytraps thrive in bright, indirect sunlight and love high humidity, making them a great plant for bathrooms or kitchens. They are happiest in nutrient-poor soil and prefer distilled or rainwater over tap water. Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid waterlogging. Your Venus Fly Trap enjoys a warm environment, with temperatures ranging from 20-30°C, and can tolerate slight drops in temperature at night.
