I ordered plants here as a birthday gift for my boyfriend. They arrived neatly packaged. Beautiful and healthy plants. Due to a glitch in the computer system, I received the order again a few weeks later. I honestly reported this and received the plants as a gift! Isn't that super!

Frequently asked questions about the Dionaea muscipula
The Venus Flycatcher catches insects by quickly closing its leaves when something enters. It uses tiny hairs on its leaves to respond to touch.
This plant feeds mainly on small insects such as flies, mosquitoes and beetles. Never feed the plant itself meat. This will cause the traps to rot. An occasional insect is allowed.
The Venus Flycatcher is originally found in swampy areas of North America, such as South and North Carolina.
Yes, you can keep a Venus Flycatcher in the house, but it requires special care and conditions, such as adequate light and humidity.
Care includes bright, indirect light, rainwater or Swampworld Rain drops and avoiding feeding with human hands to avoid damaging the delicate hairs. If a trap is closed too often, it will die.
