Venus Fly Trap

The Venus Flytrap is one of the easiest bug eating plants to grow in your garden. In order for them to flourish, they must have damp roots, high levels of humidity, good sunlight, and poor, acidic soil. To provide high humidity for your Venus Flytrap, plant it in a small glass (greenhouse) container with a small opening, for example, use an old fish tank / bowl or fish bowl. Make sure that in the summer month it does not get too hot however. In the winter months however keep the Venus Fly Trap away from the window and even consider covering them at night.

When your plant matures, you can consider removing the flowers by hand to enable the plant to invest more energy into the leaf growth. Venus Fly Traps can actually live submerged in water for months so dont worry about over watering them. Recognise that if you grow your plant indoors, then you might have to feed it flies yourself to keep it functioning.
