Rocket Farms Venus Flytrap Carnivorous Plant 2pk

3" Venus Flytrap Carnivorous Plant. Feed me! These wonderful, fun, Venus Flytraps are the ultimate carnivorous plant, and always a center of attention in any room. How do they "work"? Traps are triggered by tiny hairs, sometimes called triggers, on inner surfaces. One trigger contact will not result in trap closing, but if an insect or arachnid triggers a second within an approximately twenty second period, SNAP! Some traps may have a deep red interior, while others may remain green. Each plastic tube contains one plant with numerous traps of varying sizes. Feel free to remove from the tube for better display, but keep them fairly warm; they don’t like to be chilly! Also, no, you don’t to actually find insects for them to eat. Venus Flytraps are quite sensitive to water purity, so if possible, water with distilled or pure water; they will thrive for many weeks if soil is kept moist, and will figure out their diet on their own!

• FAQ

  How often should I water plant?
  Keep soil moist without drenching, and try to use pure or distilled water. Once every 8-10 days is average

  Do I feed insects to the plant?
  No, this is not necessary; plant will feed itself

  Is it safe for the plant if I trigger the traps?
  A trap will only open a few times before turning black, so it is not ideal to continually trigger traps. If a trap does turn black, it is safe to snip it off without harming the rest of the plant

  Any other care tips?
  Venus Flytraps don’t like the cold; a temperature of over 60 degrees is essential, with 70+degrees preferable. A location with good bright, indirect light is preferable
