Dionaea muscipula H52
venus fly trap H52
Description
Dionaea muscipula H52, the Venus Flytrap, is a carnivorous plant with a unique and captivating trapping mechanism. Its modified leaves form hinged traps, triggered by the touch of insects. Once triggered, the trap snaps shut, enclosing the prey for digestion. The leaves are green, often with reddish or pinkish hues, especially when exposed to sunlight. These plants thrive in nutrient-poor, acidic soil and require full sunlight and consistently moist conditions, but never standing in water. They are native to the wetlands of North and South Carolina. Propagation is often done by dividing the plant or through leaf pullings, but be patient as the plant can be slow growing.
