Plant Description

Dionaea muscipula, commonly known as the Venus Flytrap, is a fascinating carnivorous plant native to the subtropical wetlands of the southeastern United States. At the 5-10 cm size, it features rosettes of small, green traps lined with fine hairs that snap shut when triggered by unsuspecting insects. The traps, each resembling a jaw lined with spiky “teeth,” are designed to capture and digest prey, providing essential nutrients in nutrient-poor soil. This small yet iconic plant is a marvel of nature, captivating enthusiasts with its unique feeding mechanism.
