A closer look

Product details

Everything you need to know about this product.

A carnivorous plant with hinged traps that catch small insects. It needs strong light, mineral-free water and a cool winter rest.

The traps are modified leaves that close around suitable small prey. They are the main attraction of the plant and should be left to function naturally rather than repeatedly triggered for amusement. A sunny windowsill or suitable protected outdoor summer position is more useful than a dark shelf. The plant may also produce tall stems with small white flowers in spring.

Why we like it

  • Working insect traps
  • Fascinating seasonal growth
  • Compact pot size

What to know

Water quality is essential. Use rainwater, distilled water or reverse-osmosis water, not ordinary mineral-rich tap water, and never add normal houseplant fertiliser. During active growth, a shallow tray of suitable water keeps the growing medium moist. Use specialist, unfertilised carnivorous-plant compost when repotting. A cool winter dormancy is part of its normal annual cycle: growth slows and traps can die back, so do not try to keep it in constant warm summer growth. No meat or human food is needed.

  • Give very bright light with several hours of sun where possible.
  • Use rainwater, distilled water or reverse-osmosis water.
  • Stand in a shallow tray of suitable water during active growth.
  • Use unfertilised carnivorous-plant compost; never ordinary fertiliser.
  • Allow cool winter dormancy and do not repeatedly trigger traps by hand.

Flowering months: April, May, June. Typical season; weather and growing conditions can shift the start and finish.
