Dionaea muscipula Venus Flytrap
$9.95
A true American classic. Native to the coastal plains of North Carolina, this plant is often a person's first introduction into carnivorous plants. It's a small plant, rarely growing larger than 4 inches in diameter. As a US-native, this plant grows best outdoors in full sun during the growing season. In winter, it shuts down for a short rest. Growth resumes in spring.

Sunlight: Full sun during the growing season.
Water: Low-mineral water (50 ppm or less).

Beautiful!
All of my plants arrived carefully packaged and in great health. The fly trap was small, as expected, and has at least doubled in size in the last 2 months.
