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.

Very healthy, large traps
I was delighted to see that these traps thrived in full sun without a terrarium! I have killed several plants from other vendors from not using a terrarium. These were shipped well, didn't flower, and have much larger traps than the King Henry I ordered.

We love our Venus Flytraps. All three arrived in excellent condition. About two weeks after receiving them we re-potted them with soil purchased from you. We have followed the instructions included in the shipment to the letter. We have not poked them at all. They are thriving and catching flies daily. Much to our surprise two of them are blooming. We didn't realize they would bloomed. You can count on us to order plants from you again in the future. Thanks for caring so much about what you do, it is obvious you love growing these plants.

Great plants
Very well packaged with detailed instructions on how to remove the package and initial care. Provided I can get these through the summer and winter, I plan to try a few others.
