It can be fed properly, but it can't give too much at one time, which will cause indigestion of Venus flytrap and blacken its clip. And the feeding food can feed a little insect legs with every two clips, which should not be too much, because the flytrap itself will catch flies with its own clips.

1、 Need feeding

It needs to be supplemented with some food, such as some insects' legs or wings. However, the frequency of feeding does not need to be too high. If it is planted outdoors, don't worry that the plant has no food. You can also add some fish with strong taste to the potted plants to attract insects, so that Venus flytrap will hunt and eat by itself

2、 How do you catch flies

It grows clips, which are specially used to catch prey, flies or small insects. Its clip is about 3cm long, but when the clip catches prey, if the insect is too large, it will be easy to break free. Its capture principle is that when the insect touches the sensitive part of the clip, the clip will automatically close, and the insect will struggle inside after being captured, so the fly trap digests it. This process takes about a few hours. When it is digested, it will naturally open the clip and wait for the next prey. But in general, a plant can't catch a few insects, so we need to pay attention. It should also be noted that the clip of the plant should be cleaned after digestion, so as not to cause unsightly plants
