Product details
Product information
The Venus Fly Trap is certainly one of the most fascinating house plants to have inside your home. An excellent choice for both its unusual appearance and interesting, fly-trapping method. Leaves are double lobed, hinging together to be able to trap insects in side, and either side has a row of spikes to ensure the prey cannot escape. Inside the leaves, nectar lures flies into the trap, and once they make contact with the small hairs on the inside of the leaves, the trap will close over and the plant will digest the fly or insect within a few days. An excellent first plant for children, but fascinating regardless of how old you may be – it’s always exciting to see the Venus Fly Trap in action!
- Suitable for Indoor
- Keep the soil moist at all times with distilled water, rainwater, or reverse osmosis water
Features and benefits
- A FASCINATING CARNIVOROUS PLANT: The Venus Fly Trap is one of the most unusual looking houseplants, which will also detect and trap any flies and insects which happen to land on its leaves!
- 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 HOUSE PLANT: Inside the “trap” there is nectar which attracts flies and insects. Once they make contact with the hairs inside the leaves the trap will close, trapping its prey between spiky, teeth like leaves.
