One of the world's most unusual-looking plants, the Venus Flytrap grow it not because of what it looks like but because of what it does; eating flies. Venus Flytrap is not hard to grow, but it does need different conditions than do the more familiar houseplants. The leaf (the trap itself) consists of two lip-like lobes united by a hinge, and contains nectar which is the bait that draws an insect in to its death. The plant goes through a period of dormancy beginning in fall when sunlight levels decrease. It will lose its leaves and appear to die, but it actually lives on underground through its rhizomes.
