@growithjessie: Grow A Venus Fly Trap Plant With Me? It’s one of the few plants in the world that is truly carnivorous🌱 🐛 The Venus Fly Trap is a plant well-known for its ability to trap and digest insects with its modified leaves. Once grown, it’s important to know that each trap can only be used a few times before it loses its ability to snap shut. So it’s important not to trigger the traps unnecessarily, as it can weaken the plant. Also known as Dionaea muscipula, is a native species to North and South Carolina, where it thrives in swampy areas. Venus Fly Trap seeds are tiny - no bigger than the size of a sesame seed - and we’re sprouting them in two ways. Paper towel germination method and in soil. To germinate Venus Fly Trap seeds, sprinkle the seeds on top of the paper towel, shpritz them religiously with water - keep that towel damp - and seal it in a glass jar. Or you can plant directly in soil and water it three times a week - but you need a lot of sun for the soil method. After 2-3 weeks, you should start to see tiny Venus Fly Trap seedlings emerge from the paper towel and the soil. Transplant as necessary. One other interesting fact is that the Venus Fly Trap can produce flowers that are small and white and usually appear in the spring. If your Venus Fly Trap does produce flowers, it's important to remove them, as they can divert energy away from the rest of the plant. So come back in a week or two to see the progress of our baby carnivorous venus fly traps! #howtowithjessie #venus #fly #trap #plants
