This bogplant likes much light and water – keep the plant always wet, preferably with rain water. Do not apply fertiliser. Never make the trap shut in an artificial way.
Venus Flytraps attract their prey using sweet nectar. Touch a trigger hair twice, or two hairs in quick succession, and an electric charge closes the trap, its interlocking teeth forming a cage.
The insect’s continued struggles will cause the trap to seal, at which point digestive enzymes will dissolve the victim’s soft tissues. The trap reabsorbs this nutritious soup, and – after about a week – reopens, using the carcass to attract new visitors.
