Dionaea muscipula(technical name) AKA VENUS FLY TRAP!!

TIPS ON GROWING:
In their native habitat Venus fly traps grow in a nutrient poor, acidic soil, so you will need to sow Venus fly trap seeds in an Ericaceous seed compost.
Using 4 inch pots, sow the Venus Fly trap seeds so that they are resting on the surface of the compost, but do not cover - this can be done at any time of year.
Lightly press seeds onto the compost, spacing well apart to ensure a good contact. and do not exclude light.
The compost should be damp but not soggy. Seal the pots inside a polythene bag or cover with glass and place out of direct sun, but in good light.
If you have a propagator, maintain an optimum temperature of 75-80F (25-27C).
If you can, try to provide a humidity of 90% until most have germinated which takes 20-40 days then reduce to 70-80% - otherwise just do your best with a house-plant mister.
Transplant the seedlings after 3-4 true leaves develop.
Be aware that Venus fly trap seedlings are slow growing. Once the first set of true leaves has developed, give a VERY WEAK solution of liquid fertiliser once a month.

Never over fertilise as this can easily kill them!
