I bought a venus fly trap!(Among other carnivorous plants)

in gardening •  6 years ago 

I usually grow fruits and veggies in my garden, but I decided to plant a few other types of plants.

These little guys actually seem alive. Its insane. They move on their own and definitely eat bugs for survival. are said to be native of North Carolina, where the soil doesn't have many minerals in it. To suffice for the lack of nutrition the venus fly trap evolved to be able to catch minerals from the sky. Of course in the form of flies and bugs.

I also obtained a pitcher plant. It is growing from seed, along with a few more venus fly trap breeds, so I don't have pictures yet. I will take better care of them better than the place that I got in the picture above. Poor malnourished guy. I'll keep updates on my plants to let you guys know when they grow more.

Good luck with them! They are very hard to keep!

Yea definitely not an easy plant to keep alive. It should be fun to try though :)
