Plant Information
The famous and fascinating Venus Fly Trap forms a hinged trap that typically has a number of little triggers on the inside of each half. The coloration and scent of the open traps attracts their prey. When the same hair trigger is touched twice or another one is touched, the trap quickly slams shut. The cilia, or little fingers on the outside edge of the trap, quickly close and lock together to form unescapable doors. Digestive enzymes secreted within the trap decompose the soft parts of the insect’s body for digestion. The trap will open again in a week or two to capture another meal. Only the soft parts of the victim’s body are consumed, the skeleton shell is removed by rain or wind activity.

These plants developed this ability to cope with the nutrient poor environment they are native too.  As a result of this, it is important to only water them with distilled water and to not apply fertilizer to them. Flytraps are perennials that can live for decades and their traps increase in size each year, when they return after a rather brief cold period.
