Characteristics

Very bright environment Spring, Summer, Autumn North America

Capture technique

Imagine two modified leaves, joined along a central vein, opening like the pages of a book. Inside these "pages" are highly sensitive hairs called trichomes. These hairs act as sensors and, when touched by an insect, trigger a mechanism that closes the trap.

Dionaea muscipula (Venus flytrap) originates from peat bogs in North America, so it thrives in a temperate climate with warm summers and cold winters. This plant is accustomed to living chastely outdoors from spring onwards until October. Dionaea muscipula will experience vigorous growth and then decline in winter, but don't worry, it's normal!
