Details

The Venus Fly Trap is one of the most well‐known carnivorous plants, with its specialised snap‐shut traps that catch small insects. Its fascinating movement and unique look make it a standout in bioactive reptile enclosures or humid terrariums.

Native to the wetlands of the southeastern United States, this plant loves bright light, high humidity, and nutrient‐poor soil. It requires distilled water or rainwater to thrive, and its traps function best when left to catch their own prey naturally.
