Dionaea, Venus Flytrap 'Akai Ryu'

I have this plant growing in an outdoor bowl bog, and it is doing just fine, catching its own prey its own way. It always seems to have a...Read More trap closed around some tasty morsel. I will never leave a trap inside in the summer again!

I have a small venus fly trap growing happly along with a bunch of other carnivorous plant in a terrarium at home. It is a very interesti...Read Moreng plant, which closes its "tallons" on any piece of pray. I have heard that some people think it snappes shut right away like a mouse trap, it doesn´t do it that fast. It has very high moisture needs and has to be watered with rainwater. I also spray my carnivourous plants dayly. I do not feed them, but some say that they grow more happly then, but still the leaf which you fed falls off after the third or fourth time. You may try to feed them anyway. Overall this is a great plant. But I would not recommed it to starters.
