Grow your own Venus Fly Trap
Once in a while it does not mind some bacon.
Grow Your Own Venus Fly Trap, no we’re not kidding. There are very few examples of veg being able to get its own back against all of us fauna, and the Venus Fly Trap is probably the most famous. It may seem strange that of all the meat a Venus Fly Trap chooses to eat, it picks flies, yuk, still we guess they’re easy to catch. You don’t often see a plant bringing down a bounding gazelle now do you – even if they do taste better.
Their natural home is South Carolina in the USA, and they can be a challenging plant to grow indoors as conditions must be as close as possible to their natural habitat (mossy and marshy surroundings), in order for the plant to thrive. The kit comes with a mini plant pot, seeds, a compost pellet, and of course detailed instruction on how to raise your seed into a fully fledged carnivorous plant.
Features:
- Grow your own Venus Fly Trap presented in a bright and funky presentation box.
- The box includes a compost tablet, a mini terracotta plant pot, Venus Fly Trap seeds, and full instructions.
- The Venus Fly Trap takes 4-6 weeks to germinate.
- For successful growth, the plant must be regularly watered and then transplanted to your garden.
- Box size: 9.5 x 6 x 6cm.
- Plant size: depends on how green fingered you are.

yeah, you’re supposed to cut off the dead traps… I dont know how much ur supposed to feed it. I read somewhere you’re supposed to feed it like once a week basically, and that they should eat on an average of 3 flies a month or something like that, so obviously not much. and if a trap is not closed, I’m pretty sure its not eating. tickle the inside of the mouth for it to close properly.

Venus Fly traps are pretty good at catching their own food, so unless you are actively taking measures to keep flies away from it, you shouldn’t need to feed it.

I know you’re not supposed to feed the flytrap real meat. I just got a flytrap the other day from the store and fed some of the traps some bugs.
However my genius husband thought he was being real smart and took a small amount of chicken that he had and put it in one of the trap mouths and of course it clamped down on it to eat it.
My question is, as long as I don’t do this again, what is the likelihood of the thing surviving that?
