    Is this a houseplant? I'm wondering how easy they are to maintain. Posted 4 years ago

      Hi Christine
      I found these in a garden and have never grown them before. I understand they are native to the USA however grow well here in Australia.
      The link above talks about their growing conditions and maintenance       Posted 4 years ago

        Oh, thanks! It's so sweet of you to share that link. I have 2 carnivorous plants as houseplants, but not a VFT. I assumed this was a houseplant, but forgot that you live in paradise where these can grow outside. Posted 4 years ago

The Venus flytrap

The Venus flytrap , ''Dionaea muscipula'', is a carnivorous plant native to subtropical wetlands on the East Coast of the United States. It catches its prey—chiefly insects and arachnids— with a trapping structure formed by the terminal portion of each of the plant's leaves and is triggered by tiny hairs on their inner surfaces.
