Dionaea Muscipula - Set of 3 - Venus Flytrap

Dionaea muscipula, commonly known as the Venus flytrap, is a fascinating carnivorous plant native to the coastal regions of North and South Carolina in the United States. The Venus flytrap's most striking feature lies in its extraordinary ability to capture and digest insects. Its specialized leaves, known as traps, are equipped with sensitive hairs that, when they sense movement, cause the trap to snap shut quickly, entrapping unsuspecting prey. This feature makes Dionaea muscipula a fascinating addition to any plant collection.

Care
When it comes to plant care, the Venus flytrap requires special attention to thrive. It thrives in a moist environment, which requires the use of distilled water or rainwater to prevent mineral buildup. Additionally, adequate sunlight is crucial for growth, with a minimum of four to six hours of direct sunlight per day being recommended. The Venus flytrap prefers nutrient-poor soil and is usually grown in a mixture of peat moss and perlite or sand. As for feeding, while the plant can catch its own prey, supplemental feeding with small insects such as fruit flies can help with growth and development. Overall, a good balance of moisture, light, and a suitable substrate is key to successful Dionaea muscipula care.

Format
The plants are delivered with a height of 5 to 10cm (measured incl. pot). The plants are delivered in pots with a diameter of 5.5cm.
