Venus flytrap flowers [OC]

My Venus flytrap has sprouted a long stem with some pretty little flowers at the end. The purpose of the long stem is to help keep pollinators away from the traps.

Are you running supplemental lighting?

[–] CrimeDad@lemmy.crimedad.work 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, this room is on the south side of the house (I'm in the northern hemisphere) so it gets enough natural light. I also put it outside some days so it can feed.

Very nice. How many do you have? I am thinking to order some after I complete my move at the end of the month and get the plant room set up. They will only survive indoors here.

Just this one. It's really my daughter's.
