How long do Venus live?

Venus Flytraps can live up to 7-8 years if taken care of indoors. If leaves get brown clip off and it will grow a new one. Do not throw the plant away if that happens. Because some people think that they are dying but the are not. If outdoors Venus Flytraps can live up to 10-11 years. If it is a baby than feed it small insects like gnats. Do not feed it large insects if it is a baby, but if grown then you may feed it bigger insects like flies. You don't always have to feed it however. It will catch small bugs that you are not aware of independently. Do not put them in direct sunlight or they will die, so put them in good but not direct light.

How do Venus Flytraps pollinate?

Not every plant has seeds, but Venus Flytraps can be grown from seeds, although they may take several years to mature. They usually reproduce by division.The Venus Flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) not only consumes insects for food, it also needs insects for pollination to make a new generation. In order to attract the insects, the mature Venus Flytrap will grow a very long stalk so that the insects won't get accidentally eaten. On top of these stalks grow white flowers that secrete sweet-smelling chemicals, pollen and seeds that are 1 mm long. The Venus Flytrap has to be several years old before it has enough energy to devote to making flowers and seeds. The insects attracted to the flowers walk over the stamen (the male part of a plant located at the tips of the filaments) and transfer that pollen to the pistil (the female part of the flower located deep in the center). Gardeners can fertilize their Venus Flytraps by taking a cotton swab, rubbing the fuzzy stamen and then rubbing that pollen in the pistil. In a few weeks, the flowers die, but the fertilized seeds remain, drop into the soil and grow.Venus Flytraps reproduce like any other plant; with pollen grains and stigma to fertilize seeds.There are seedlings wich form in the fly trap's pod when wind blows the seedlings are deposited to the soil and that is the TRUTH!
