I get one maybe once every two years, forgetting that they always die when in my possession. I’m also fascinated by them, but my experience personally is that they’re hard to keep alive.
I assumed that they are self-sustaining because they catch insects haha. Like a terrarium. Thanks for setting the record straight for me.
I took this picture while on a field trip with my daughter. No, I didn’t buy it to keep it. Didn’t think my wife would have allowed
Yeah, they always do a great job catching bugs (mostly ants, which is great). For me, it’s the water, light, and temperature situation.
Thanks! Will tell my son that. We just visited an ant exhibition yesterday
mealworm -> ant -> Venus flytrap
This is turning out to be a fascinating food chain
I have probably been responsible for the death of at least 20 of these during my lifetime. I've killed a few bonsai trees too.
Is this picture one that you’ve taken on?
Do you have any experience with carnivorous plants, such as the Venus flytrap? I find them fascinating
