Dionaea Muscipula – Venus Fly Trap

Dionaea Muscipula, commonly named the Venus fly trap, is an evergreen plant known for being insectivorous and a popular novelty indoor plant choice. Its foliage grows in groups of green leaves with a flat stalk terminating in a distinct, hinged fly-catching trap with bristle ‘teeth’ that will close and interlink in order to secure prey. As tempting as it may be to artificially trigger the plant’s trap to shut out of curiosity, the process requires a lot of energy from this fascinating specimen and is advised against for a happy plant.

Your Venus fly trap will thrive in a humid position that benefits from full sun or partial shade, planted in a container with moist, well-drained, loamy soil with an acidic pH. During the growing season, water the plant from below by standing the container in a saucer of water up to 2.5cm deep. In the winter months, water the plant from below and dispose of any excess. Keep moist.
Remove any dry, dead black parts of the plant. Tiny white flowers will appear in clusters come summer – these blooms are best removed if you are a beginner owner, as flowering can be exhausting for your Venus fly trap. Preventing the flowering will aid the plant in growing more vigorously during summer.
