It is not a tropical plant as one might think. It is found natively in North and South Carolina in nitrogen poor areas such as bogs. The plants use its traps to catch prey to get nitrogen for protein formation that the soil cannot provide. Performs best outdoors in a sunny location with amply moisture.
 
Additional Information:   The sign of a healthy venus flytrap is a pink tinge to the inside of the traps. If you see a pale green, you may need to provide more light.
