  • FLY AND MOSQUITO TRAP: Functional house plants that trap and consume common bugs found in the home, such as flies, mosquitos, and spiders. Keep your carnivorous house plant thriving by planting it in a carnivorous plant pot with venus fly trap soil.
  • DIY INDOOR TERRARIUM: Design a unique carnivorous plant terrarium with live flytraps and other terrarium plants. Real plants are also excellent for gift ideas. Create a Venus Fly Trap kit with Venus Flytrap soil, carnivorous plant food, and more.
  • STRIKING PLANT DÉCOR: Showcase this stunning plant in a Venus Fly Trap pot with a carnivorous plant soil mix for an eye-catching display. Try planting your own Dionaea muscipula seeds in flytrap soil with Dionaea muscipula food to support growth.
  • LIVE CARNIVOROUS PLANTS AT YOUR DOOR: Venus Fly Trap live plants will arrive fresh and in prime condition. These exotic plants can thrive as both live indoor plants or outdoor plants.

Our USA-grown Venus Fly Trap (Dionaea Muscipula), also known atrapamoscas, is a unique and fascinating carnivorous plant. This subtropical wetland species features bright green leaves topped with hinged lobes at each end. A striking blast of red is visible on the inner surfaces of the lobes which are outlined with small bristles that interlock when trapping prey. This stunning perennial is native to the coastal plains of North and South Carolina and holds a unique ability to trap and consume small, unsuspecting bugs. Venus Fly Traps get essential nutrients through the soil and by consuming small insects such as gnats, beetles, flies, mosquitos and spiders. Each modified leaf can be expected to catch five to eight insects before it dies, at which point new traps will grow in their stead. White flowers with green veins will bloom during spring, however the flowering process for a Venus Fly Trap can exhaust and consume significant energy from the plant. For this reason, plant owners may choose to trim away the flowering stalks.

In addition to being useful, the Venus Fly Trap is also a naturally beautiful addition to any type of indoor or outdoor décor. Display them in tall pots, a plant terrarium, on a plant stand, and much more. Venus Fly Traps thrive in bright, indirect sunlight locations and should be kept in moist, acidic soil. When the soil becomes damp to the touch (never soggy or wet), that’s when you know it’s time to water. We recommend deeply watering with distilled, reverse osmosis, or rainwater only, as Venus Fly Traps prefer water that is free from chlorine, minerals, or salts. Venus flytraps are best kept in a temperature range of 70-90°F with humidity maintained at 50-80%, mist the foliage to increase humidity.

Each Venus Flytrap ships fully rooted in a 3 inch grow pot and will be approximately 3 to 4 inches tall. We take every precaution to package your plants for a successful arrival. Venus Fly Traps trees are resilient, although more fragile leaves may experience minimal damage in-transit. Every so often a package will endure some stress, causing some soil or plants to come loose. Should soil disruption occur, simply put the loose soil back in the pot, dampen it, and make a hole to place the plant in. To stabilize the plant, gently push soil around the base.

Venus Fly Trap (Dionaea muscipula), also known as atrapamoscas, is a live carnivorous plant native to the coastal plains of North and South Carolina. This fascinating perennial features an overall shade of bright green with a striking blast of red on the inner surfaces of its hinged leaves. Venus Fly Traps get essential nutrients by consuming unsuspecting small insects such as a gnat, beetle, fly, mosquito and spider. Each modified leaf on this bug killer can be expected to catch five to eight insects before it dies, at which point new traps will grow in their stead. These exciting plants make exceptional home gifts for a housewarming party and are fabulous to give as favors at a baby shower or wedding. For an eye-catching display of home decor, plant your Venus Fly Trap in a decorative planter and arrange on a plant stand or create a vibrant plant terrarium with your choice of sand, dirt, rocks, and more.

Venus Fly Trap plants are also ideal for grabbing attention when displayed on a desk in a classroom. You can even try growing your own Venus Fly Trap plant with Dionaea muscipula seeds and other types of carnivora seed. An adult Venus Fly Trap can reach a diameter of 4 to 5 inches and prefers bright, indirect sunlight. We recommend watering Venus Fly Trap once per week with distilled water or rainwater that is free from chlorine, minerals, or salts. As the plant becomes mature, the roots will become long and grow deep into the soil, best suited for planting in tall pots. White flowers with green veins will bloom during spring, however the flowering process for a Venus Fly Trap can exhaust and consume significant energy from the plant. For this reason, plant owners may choose to trim away the flowering stalks. A small amount of carnivorous plant fertilizer can be added to the maintenance process for boosted vitality.

    My flytrap has flowered twice now. Any recommendations? Should I cut them back, or save the seeds? Thanks. -John From Staff: I wouldn't touch the plant and would leave it be. Make sure you're giving it ample water and sunlight.

    Ordered the 3 plant VFT Collection. Plants arrived in four days, and planted into long fiber sphagnum moss as directed.  The “Red Dragon” and B52 cultivars were robust and healthy with multiple upright and open traps.  The all green cultivar, not sure of the name, was weak with many closed traps and twisted leaves.  I sent a photo to VFT.com with a request to replace the weak plant.  In response I received an explanation as to why there was nothing wrong with the plant; my request for replacement was declined.  So, 2 out of 3.  One Star off for sending me a weak plant; second Star off for not replacing the plant. From Joel:



    That is normal. It's NOT health related. The other 2 plants are more hardened off though. The top plant is actually the B52 and it is a more recent arrival but it's not unhealthy. The bottom plant is the Flexx clone.



    VFTs make prostrate leaves most of the time. They go through cycles where they make erect leaves and some where they make in between erect and prostrate leaves but most of the time they go through cycles where they make prostrate leaves. It does not have anything to do with their health one way or another. The currently prostrate leaves will not bend upwards. They are prostrate because that is how they are making their leaves right now.



    VFTs ordinarily make heart shaped prostrate leaves in the Springtime, tall erect leaves in the Summertime, thin short prostrate leaves in the Fall, and small heart shaped leaves with small traps on them during their Winter dormancy, if they have leaves out then. But when VFTs are propagated through tissue culture and have not experienced a Winter dormancy yet, they sometimes make the seasonal leaves out of their correct season till they have their first Winter dormancy and then make them in sync with the correct season from then on. Prostrate Spring leaves sometimes curl downward a little in transit too. But this and the leaves being prostrate does not have anything to do with their health one way or another. This is also covered in your FAQ sheet.



    In case you are wondering why these type of plants grow prostrate leaves and traps, it is so they can catch more bugs. Prostrate leaves and traps catch both flying and crawling insects. Erect leaves with traps up in the air catch only flying bugs. Guess which one winds up catching more bugs?

    Hey I had a question. So I ordered the red dragon and the instant builder plants. They look great got them today. But and it's very possible I am wrong, but I thought the instant builder is supposed to come with three different plants. I included pictures, they all look like the same plant. Now I know a lot of them look alike with mild differences so like I said I could be wrong but it just seems like I only got one. Thank you! From Customer Service: We made a mistake by shorting you a plant in your variety pack. I will have the missing one shipped to you this coming week. Sorry about our mistake.
