Product information
The Venus Fly Trap is one of the most rare and unusual looking houseplants you can own, and it will certainly catch the eye of anyone visiting your home. However, aside from its small, spiky leaves, this plant is carnivorous which makes it exceptionally interesting. Inside the leaves, nectar attracts flies and once they touch the tiny hairs inside, the leaves will gently snap closed, trapping the fly inside. The insect is digested by enzymes inside the plant over the course of around a week and it is a fascinating process to see up close. If you are looking for a plant for the home or office, it doesn’t get more interesting than the Venus Fly Trap.
- Suitable for Indoor
- Keep the soil moist at all times with distilled water, rainwater, or reverse osmosis water
Features and benefits
- A CAPTIVATING VENUS FLY TRAP PLANT: A small houseplant with a rare and unusual appearance. Small, spiky leaves can trap flies and insects inside which can be observed up close when you have this plant in your home.
- GROWTH AND SPREAD: This plant remains relatively small but can grow to an ultimate height of around 30-40cm.
- CARE AND MAINTENANCE: Place in bright full or partial sunlight and water regularly to keep the soil moist. Remove any flowers as they bloom, as these will divert energy from the plant.
- AN EXCITING CARNIVOROUS HOUSE PLANT: Watch your Venus Fly Trap capture flies when they touch the small hairs inside the leaves, and digest them within a few days before opening up again ready to lure more flies into their leaves.
