Venus Fly Trap Seeds – 10 Fresh Seeds

The Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) is a captivating carnivorous plant that delights gardeners and nature enthusiasts alike. Native to the boggy wetlands of the Carolinas, it is famous for its hinged, jaw-like leaves that snap shut when triggered by unwitting insects. Growing Venus flytraps from seed is a rewarding experience, offering the chance to watch these fascinating plants develop from the very beginning.

When you purchase Venus flytrap seeds from our shop, you’re getting high-quality, fresh seeds ready for cultivation. To start, prepare a soil mix of sphagnum moss and perlite or silica sand—avoid regular potting soil as it contains nutrients harmful to these plants. Sow the seeds on the surface of the soil, pressing gently without covering them. Keep the soil consistently moist with distilled or rainwater, ensuring the growing medium never dries out.

Place the pot in a location with bright, indirect sunlight or use a grow light for 12-14 hours a day. Maintain a warm temperature between 20-30°C (68-86°F) and high humidity by using a propagator or covering the pot with clear plastic. Germination can take 4-6 weeks.

With care, your Venus flytraps will grow into extraordinary insect-catching wonders, perfect for any plant collection.
