Venus Flytrap plant is a low forming mundane, compact rosettes. There are varieties of growing up, such as Dm "Dutch." Its leaves reach in adult plants is usually about 10 cm in length. They grow from underground rhizomes tuber. Very easy to reproduce them by dividing the rhizome. The roots are small and delicate. The plant gets them mainly water, since the amount of nutrients in the soil is negligible. The leaves are composed of two parts. The first is part of the assimilation of the heart-shaped (thin at the base and extending to an end). The second part is a leaf competent - a trap made with 2 plaques. At the ends of each of the plaques, there are Italian, which are like the bars of the cage, and prevent the victim comes out of the trap when it is closed. On the inside of the trap there are six sensory hairs, three on each of the plaques. Leaf - a trap closes when one of these hairs is Double-touched or touched while two sensory hairs. Closing time the trap is less than one second. Most varieties of Venus Flytrap trap has a size 2 - 3 cm. There are also variations, such as Giant, which traps reach a much larger scale. The inner part of the trap stains the color red into the influence of intense light. Pigmentation is possible due to antocyjanom which occur in large numbers inside the trap. In some varieties staining occurs in the plant. Insects enticed by the bright color of the traps, as well as by sweet secretions (a polymer with a large amount of sugars) of glands in the trap. Venus Flytrap flowers are not very attractive. There are a long (about 25 cm) vertically ascending motion flower. Inflorescence is normally 5 - 8 single flowers of five petals with a white. It flowers mainly in spring. After the dust produces small (1 - 2 millimeter), black seeds.
