Product Information

To escape the bucket, the bee must crawl up a narrow tunnel, during which the plant attaches pollen sacs onto its back. If you’re growing your plant indoors choose a bright sunny windowsill - preferably south-facing if you’re in the US or UK. Most forms of the Venus Flytrap will tell you they’re receiving sufficient sunlight by turning the insides of their traps red. The hygienic method of fly control ensures that there are no dead bodies that drop that need to be cleaned away. If you choose to not allow your Venus flytrap to flower and cut off the flower stalk, be sure not to waste it!

Based on its scent, the plant is able to attract drain flies, but what makes them irresistible is their purple rod. Primarily, Venus flytraps are threatened by overcollection, habitat destruction, and fire suppression. The structures of pollination traps can include deep tubular corollas with downward pointing hairs, slippery surfaces, adhesive liquid, attractants (often deceiving the insects by the use of sexual attractants rather than nectar reward and therefore termed as deceptive pollination [1]), flower closing and other mechanisms.Decorative, discreet and poison-free, Zero In Window Fly Traps provide a hygienic way to kill household flies without fuss. It takes many years for seedlings to reach adult size, and for inexperienced growers it can sometimes be challenging to keep them alive. In autumn, when hours of daylight reduce, your Venus fly trap will lose its leaves and enter dormancy. I’ve written a detailed guide to Venus flytrap flowers which includes instructions for how to propagate cut flower stems into new plants! The Venus flytrap gets some of its nutrients from the soil, but to supplement its diet, the plant eats insects and arachnids.

These small flies have a short holometabolous life cycle that’s completed within 21 to 27 days: egg, larval, pupal, and adult life.Simply catch an insect such as a fly and then gently lower it into one of the traps, using tweezers. This fun plant is carnivorous and 'catches' flies, much to the amusement of anyone lucky enough to see it in action. Charles Darwin famously described the plant as "one of the most wonderful in the world," and few who have witnessed a healthy trap snapping shut on an insect would disagree.
