Answer 2

The Venus Flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) is a carnivorous plant that catches and digests animal prey (mostly insects and arachnids); insect prey provide the nitrogen for protein formation that the soil cannot.

Venus flytraps should be kept in pots on a patio, deck or position in the garden that receives at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day.[6] In areas of lower humidity, it is best to place plants in very wide water trays in an attempt to increase humidity levels. Better still, grow Venus flytraps in a greenhouse which often leads to healthy, vigorous and colourful plants. The colour of the trap leaves may be used as an indicator of sufficient light. In appropriate conditions the inside of each trap should be bright red in color for most varieties.

Venus Flytraps ideally should not be watered with tap water as accumulated salts in tap water may kill carnivorous plants. Soft water with TDS of 100 ppm or less yields good growth, both distilled water or clean rain water are ideal. The soil should be kept constantly moist by placing the pot in a tray full of water, with the root bulb of the plant allowed to be above the level of the water at least part of the time, to prevent root rot in stagnant water. There is no danger of over-watering. Venus flytraps can survive short periods of immersion underwater.
