Dionaea Muscipula

Venus Flytrap (Dionaea muscipula)

This legendary Venus Flytrap is the most famous meat-eating plant in the world – it is not just a plant, but a true wonder of nature that can move and hunt! With its traps lined with "teeth," it catches insects, becoming the most fascinating houseplant in any collection. It is a fantastic and educational gift for curious children and adults who want to observe natural processes in action.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• ☀️ Light: Loves bright light and direct sunlight. The more sun it gets, the brighter and redder the traps will be. The plant will wither in shade.

• 💧 Watering: Special! The soil must be constantly moist (a bog plant). It is recommended to water from below by keeping water in the tray. Important: use only rainwater, distilled, or reverse osmosis water. Regular tap water will quickly kill the plant due to minerals.

• 🌡️ Temperature/Humidity: Likes high air humidity. In winter, the plant needs a cool resting period (0-10°C) to grow strong again in spring.

• 🐾 Pets: Friendly. The plant is not poisonous to dogs and cats. However, frequent triggering of traps without food (insects) drains much energy from the plant.

🏠 BEST ROOM:

• Sunny south-facing windowsill (the best place for the plant to get maximum light).

• Children’s room (on the windowsill – an exciting object of study).

• Open glass container/florarium (helps maintain humidity, provided there is enough light).

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Height: 10-15 cm

• Pot diameter: 9 cm

⚠️ Note: Plants are living beings, so each specimen may differ slightly from the picture. Traps may die off and regrow – this is a natural process.
