They grow best on earth in dry humid areas, like Arizona or North Carolina.

Enjoy observing its unique movements and capturing of prey, but avoid touching or trying to feed it, as this can potentially harm the plant or trigger a defensive response. Remember that Venus Flytraps are sensitive and best left undisturbed in their natural habitat.

Can you feed your Venus Flytrap a bread crumb?
Feeding a Venus Flytrap a bread crumb is not advisable. These plants primarily thrive on insects and other small prey for nutrients, and bread does not provide the necessary proteins or vitamins they require. Additionally, bread can mold and lead to rot, potentially harming the plant. It's best to stick to live insects or specifically formulated plant food for optimal health.
How does a venus flytrap get food?
A Venus Flytrap does make its own food.It is a green plant like other green plants and is able to photosynthesize.The Venus Flytraps is able to supplement its diet with ants, spiders and insects allowing them to grow more robustly in soil which has a deficiency of nitrogen and phosphorus compounds. It is better to think of the process as providing additional fertilizer rather than providing energy for the plant.
What kind of water does your Venus Flytrap need?
Venus Flytraps should constantly be in poor, moist soil. I use New Zealand Long Fibered Sphagnum Moss, as it can hold 20 times its weight in water (It's like a big sponge!) Distilled water, with no additives, or carefully purified water from home is good. Collecting rainwater isn't a bad idea, either.
What kind of soil does the Venus Flytrap grow in?
The Venus Flytrap is a small plant whose structure can be described as a rosette of four to seven leaves, which arise from a short subterranean stem that is actually a bulb-like object. Each stem reaches a maximum size of about three to ten centimeters, depending on the time of year; longer leaves with robust traps are usually formed after flowering. Flytraps that have more than 7 leaves are colonies formed by rosettes that have divided beneath the ground.Venus Flytraps are small plants. They consist of several stems pointing upward, and at the end of each one is a trap. The trap looks like two flat circles, attached to each other like a hinge where they meet the stem. Around the edge of the trap, there are long, needle like projections that function as the triggers for the trap, interlock when the trap closes.You can see a photograph of a Venus flytrap by visiting the related link.It looks like a series of mouths with no eyes and hairs in the mouth.
