Dionaea muscipula: Venus Fly Trap
The Venus Fly Trap is probably the best known species of carnivorous plant. It is a native perennial to the coastal bogs of North Carolina. The outer edges of the the two clam shell like halves have stout bristles and three hair triggers that are located on the inside. The insect enters, touches the triggers and the two halves close together trapping the insect. The insect is than digested by enzymes that dissolve it in 3 to 5 days. Dead leaves and plant heads (traps) are part of the plants natural growth cycle and does not necessarily mean that your plant is unhealthy.
NOTE: The traps have a limited number of false alarms. So do not poke and tease them to often. It drains the plant of energy. And NEVER feed your plant `human food` the fat content will be fatal to your plant.
All Venus flytraps require a dormancy period to survive long term.
Plants ordered November thru March will have brown or black leaves and traps on them. This is their normal
dormant look and will resume growing in the spring.
All plants are shipped healthy and ready to grow, and are guaranteed to arrive alive.
* We will substitute a similar item if out of stock of any items ordered, unless you request No Substitutions.
Sizes: Medium...3'' pot Large...4'' pot
