4. Habitat And Population
HABITAT
The Venus Flytrap is found in
nitrogen and phosphorus-poor
environments, such as bogs and wet
savannahs
POPULATION
Currently, there are estimated to
be more than 3–6 million plants in
cultivation compared to only 35,800 plants
remaining in nature. Several prominent
plant conservationists suggest the plant
be labeled as Vulnerable.
5. Ways to Preserve
Venus flytraps are popular as cultivated plants, but have a
reputation for being difficult to grow. Successfully growing these
specialized plants requires recreating a close approximation to the
plant's natural habitat.
Healthy Venus flytraps will produce scapes of white flowers
in spring, If healthy plants are allowed to flower, successful
pollination will result in the production of dozens of small, shiny
black seeds.
Plants can be propagated by seed, although seedlings take
several years to mature. More commonly, they are propagated by
division in spring or summer.
