• Feeding: Can capture its own prey, occasionally feeding it small insects like flies or spiders can promote its impressive growth.

How to Harden Tissue Culture Dionaea muscipula: Gradually acclimatise your tissue-cultured to outdoor conditions. Start by placing the plant in a shaded area for a week, then slowly introduce it to more sunlight over the next 2–3 weeks. Maintain high humidity during this period, and be cautious not to expose the plant to direct sunlight or strong winds too quickly.
