Houseplant of the week: Venus flytrap

Venus Flytrap

Why will I love it?
Looking to add a touch of intrigue to your houseplant collection? Look no further than the Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula). This carnivorous plant will not only add a touch of intrigue to your home, it will serve as a natural pest control.

Light or shade?
The plant thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. Place it near a window with filtered light or in a well-lit spot indoors. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight as it can damage the delicate leaves.
