1 Live Plant Venus Flytrap Dionaea muscipula Carnivorous Bog Garden Plant

Venus Flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) is a distinctive carnivorous plant admired for its hinged, jaw-like traps that snap shut when triggered by movement. Native to bog environments, it brings unusual structure, color, and interactive appeal to any plant collection, terrarium, or bog garden display. Its rosette of lobed traps flushes red in bright light, making it a standout ornamental specimen.
This plant performs well in sunny bog gardens, terrariums, and container collections where consistent moisture is maintained. Use a mix of sphagnum moss and perlite or peat, keep the soil consistently wet with mineral-free water, and provide full sun to support vigorous growth and trap coloration. During cooler months it may naturally slow and enter dormancy before resuming active growth. Species: Dionaea muscipula
