Venus flytraps are amazing plants that have evolved to be able to consume meat in the form of small flies and insects. The traps have small hairs on the inside of their ‘mouths’ which if brushed passed, cause them to snap shut. Flytraps like to be outside in a protected area with as much sunlight as possible or inside in a very sunny position or under a grow light. Flytraps like to be moist at all times so can be watered frequently or placed in a shallow saucer of water.
