The Venus Fly trap is a unique carnivorous plant. It looks like a creature from an alien movie but don't let this plant scare you, it only munches on insects! With its leaves ending in little claw like hands, this plant closes the instant an insect lands on it.
The Venus Fly Trap originates from coastal bogs of North and South Carolina. They have adapted to low nutrient environments by using the insects they eat to give them the nutrients they need.
Substrate needed: The substrate needs to be nutrient poor, acidic and well draining. Typically a good blend is 1:1 sphagnum peat moss and perlite. This mimics the bogs they are from. Always use distilled water when watering your Venus Fly Trap.
As long as you keep up with the watering, let them take care of catching the flies!
Scientific Name: Dionaea muscipula
Common Name: Venus Fly Trap
Light Requirements: Bright indirect light, direct sun
Water: Use ONLY distilled, rain or reverse osmosis water. They grow in bogs so they like to have wet soil. Make sure the air flow is good. Be sure to take them out of their packaging as soon as you get it home.

Harden off* before planting outdoors.
* Hardening off refers to the process of gently and gradually acclimatizing indoor grown seedlings to the great outdoors! Don't throw your new babies straight into the elements! Over the course of a week, take them outside for a few hours at a time, bringing them back indoors afterwards. First sit them in the shade and then slowly introduce them to the sun. Increase the length of time they are outside and are exposed to the sun, until you feel they are ready to face the big outside world!
