Venus Fly Traps
Please do not try to activate the traps for no reason. Although it may seem fascinating to watch the traps close you are actually killing the plant. The traps will only reset themselves a limited number of times and takes a lot of energy to do this. If you want to see the traps close then please put something alive in them, like a small grub or insect; at least then they’ll have something to digest.
Dionaea mucipula
Ref No:
Description:

A typical venus’ fly trap which requires a period of dormancy during the winter months. During this time it will lose its foliage and appear to be dead. Do not worry as it will soon grow new leaves when the warmer temperatures arrive. Stand in rainwater only as the chemicals in tap water will slowly kill the plant.

It will sport small white flowers but it is advised to cut its flowering stem off. A lot of energy is required to enable it to flower and it will struggle to grow new traps at the same time.
