Its red coloration develops under intense light or full sun, making lighting an important part of its care.

Whether you are expanding a carnivorous plant collection or choosing your first Venus flytrap, Midnight offers something a little different from an ordinary houseplant. Give it the light and seasonal care it needs, and enjoy following its growth up close.

What you will receive

• One live Midnight Venus flytrap in a 2.5-inch pot.
• A young plant approximately 2–3 inches across.
• Care instructions included with your plant.
• A plant similar to those pictured, not the exact plant shown.

Color varies: some plants arrive greener than others. Red coloration develops under intense lighting or full sun; your plant may not arrive with its fullest red color.

Midnight Venus flytrap care

• Light: full sun.
• Potting medium: peat and perlite, or pure peat.
• Watering: use the tray method.
• Feeding: bugs or fish food every 3–4 weeks, following the included care instructions.
• Humidity: 50–85%.
• Temperature: 65–80°F in spring and summer; 35–55°F in colder months.
• Winter dormancy: provide less water during its dormant period.

This is a plant with seasonal needs, so plan for its winter dormancy rather than treating it like a typical year-round tropical houseplant. Mature size depends on growing conditions and care.
