Venus flytrap plant careRequirements

The Venus flytrap is an easy to grow houseplant. Try it. It's an insectivorous plant "monster" that devours insects. Its leaves have very sensitive spines in the center of the upper surface. When these spines are triggered by the touch of an insect, the leaf snaps shut trapping the insect. The trapped insect is slowly digested as food for your Venus flytrap.
