Description:
The Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) is a carnivorous plant native to subtropical wetlands on the East Coast of the United States in North Carolina and South Carolina. It catches it’s prey?chiefly insects and arachnids?with a trapping structure formed by the terminal portion of each of the plant’s leaves, which is triggered by tiny hairs (called “trigger hairs” or “sensitive hairs”) on their inner surfaces.

Product Information:
When an insect or spider crawling along the leaves contacts a hair, the trap prepares to close, snapping shut only if another contact occurs within approximately twenty seconds of the first strike. Triggers may occur if one-tenth of the insect is within contact.

Plant Care:
Venus flytraps need a lot of moisture, but too much water in the pot or in their ground can lead to mildew growth and root rot?so plant them in a pot with drainage holes. Venus flytraps are used to growing in undernourished, acidic, and sandy soil. Using a 1:1 ratio by volume of sphagnum peat moss to horticultural sand is perfect for holding moisture while still providing drainage.The soil should be kept damp at all times. Only use distilled water or rainwater.

Plant Placement:
Venus flytraps can survive in partial shade and a minimum of 4 hours of sunlight, but if you want them to thrive, provide them with 12 hours of direct, bright sunlight. The morning is the best time for this since the rays are not too intense. Avoid direct sunlight if it’s too hot out, like during the summer, to prevent them from burning or drying out.

Disclaimer:

Deviations of a few centimeters cannot always be ruled out as you are buying a natural living product. The height depends on several factors and can also vary slightly seasonally.

Note: The mentioned height of the plant is inclusive of the pot.
