The most well known species of carnivorous plants. Traps have a limited number of false alarms. Don't stimulate them too often. Artificially springing the trap drains the plant's energy.
The trap of the Venus Flytrap is one of Nature's most amazing marvels. The outer edges of the two clamshell-like halves are lined with nectar glands and stout bristles.
They are attractive rosette plants with thick subtly colored leaves, occasionally speckled. Graptopetalum leaves range in colour from waxy green to lovely pink and grey-green.
