Venus Flytrap Other plants offered by California Carnivores. Awe inspiring when first seen in action, the Venus flytrap is without doubt the most famous of all carnivorous plants. Venus flytraps are native only to the coastal plain of southeastern North Carolina and extreme northeastern South Carolina. Different forms are available from time to time from California Carnivores so please visit this page for new postings. We recommend reading The Savage Garden to fully explore these incredible plants.
Flytraps thrive in a mix of one part sand to one part peat.
Best in plastic pots or glazed ceramics. They do well in deeper mini-bogs and bog gardens. Flytraps do not appreciate persistent waterlogged conditions, and do best with a lower water table. Full to part sun. Tolerant of light frost and brief freezes.
