What does the color of my Venus flytrap mean?
How does a venus fly trap catch its prey?
- The red color inside the traps helps the Venus flytrap capture prey. The plant attracts prey with sweet nectar and bright colors. The bright red color in the trap mimics a flower. Confused and hungry insects end up inside the traps. When your plant shows the perfect color combination, then you can focus on feeding it.
How do you care for a Venus Fly Trap plant?
- Novelty plant. A Venus flytrap must have at least 4 hours of direct sun daily to grow and colour well. In very hot regions they may need to be watched carefully and given some afternoon sun protection. If growing your Venus flytrap indoors, position if on a windowsill that receives sun all day.
Do Venus Fly Trap flowers bloom in the winter?
- A Venus Fly Trap flowering in the winter begins when the leaves start to turn black and the plant goes back to rhizome, also known as the rootstalk. When this process happens, don’t freak out because it is part of this plant’s normal life cycle.
