Ways to PreserveVenus 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.
