It can be fed appropriately, but when feeding, you should not give too much at one time. This will cause indigestion in the Venus flytrap and make its clips black. Moreover, you can feed a little insect legs for every two clips, but not too much, because the Venus flytrap itself will also use its own clips to catch flies.

1. Does it need to be fed?

It needs to be supplemented with some food, which can be some insect legs or wings. But the frequency of feeding does not need to be too high. If you plant outdoors, don't worry about the plants running out of food. You can also add some fish with a strong smell to the potted plants to attract insects, so that the Venus flytrap will hunt and eat on its own.

It has a clip, which is specially used to catch prey flies or some small bugs. Its clip is about 3 centimeters long, but when the clip captures prey, if the bug is too big, it will be easily broken free. Its capture principle is because when the bug touches the sensitive part of the clip, the clip will automatically close. After the bug is captured, it will also struggle inside, so the Venus Flytrap digests it. After this process takes about a few hours, when it is completely digested, it will naturally open its clamp and wait for the next prey. But generally, you won’t catch a few bugs on one plant, so you need to pay attention. It should also be noted that after the plant is digested, it is advisable to clean its clamps to avoid making the plant unsightly.
