venus fly trap
Description

These traps can grow significantly larger than those of the typical Venus flytrap, making it an impressive specimen. The larger size enhances its ability to capture and consume larger insects. It maintains the typical Venus flytrap characteristics such as the trigger hairs, which activate the rapid trap closure mechanism. It requires bright light, acidic soil, and high humidity to flourish. To ensure its health, it's best to avoid fertilizer and provide mineral-free water. A short tip for successful cultivation is to ensure proper ventilation to prevent fungal issues.
