Dionaea muscipula

Spider for dinner 😋

😲😲😲

Eat 'im up!

NUM! 😅 #fly

Oh yeah I still want one of these too.

So glad I separated these ! 🥰

Nice! Did you grow these from seed? Got one the other for my 6 y.o for the novelty value but I've been checking it every 5 minutes :-). Doesn't seem to have had much business 🤔

No I got one small pot in 2017 and it spread a lot so needed separating @craigh7 if you swipe left all the way along you'll see how it grew from the start 😅

They are cool aren't they, I can give some as gifts now too. Are you keeping yours in the house? They like to have a winter some people put them in the fridge for a small while to keep them alive. 😅😅

Ah, I didn't know they liked a winter! Luckily we are in Glasgow, so it will probably have a long one 😂

Just seeing what they grew from now! You've done well with that. They are a good gift too. Something different and don't need to be a garden lover to enjoy it either!

So healthy! I've tried these twice and always die 😩

My first one died years ago @berecs but they do die back and regrow so looking back I think I binned mine when it was going though dormancy lol

So pretty!

It ate a slug 👏👏👏👏👏

I need to plant one of these next to my Lupin!!😂😂

Oh wow! Amazing but also 🤢!!

😂😂😂 @kayleighanne

To let flower or not to let flower 🤔

I've never seen one flower before! @kimmy01

Did you grow from seed ?

No @jamescalli I just kept it alive over winter 😁 but I plant on growing some carnivorous plants from seed eventually

Kept hearing a buzzing sound didn't realize what it was for a while... my baby caught a fly all on its own 😍

😨😨😨😆

Its still buzzing now I feel a bit bad bit still proud 😮😁

Love them 💚💚💚

Think that's a flower spike going on, so I definitely cut it off? 🤔

😬 not sure but fab pick 👌📸👌

Yes please Kim @Naomi126 or the plant will more than likely die 🙁

✂

I tried growing from seed with no luck :(

Wish I let it go to seed now at least I would have had seeds @jamescalli

In rain water. Hope it likes its new home #wishmeluck

In case you don't know, if you see a flower stalk - cut it off asap as it'll kill the plant once it's flowered ( I learnt hard way 😞)

Oh I didn't know that thanks @titchyfra .. Them that are on it noe aren't flower stalks are they? :O

Omg @SylviaDavies I thought you only fed the other type meat :O ... I've got a lot of googling to do

The one to the left definitely isn't, that's new leaf, keep an eye on the other one nearer to the centre . The flower stalk grows really tall so you should know pretty soon 🙂

Love them 🌿💚
