Matt talks through the anatomy of a Venus flytrap flower and explains how to successfully pollinate Venus flytraps for seed production. Flowers now come in almost every imaginable color except blue, often sporting such features as contrasting eyes or mid-rib stripes or a sprinkling of diamond, ruby or gold dust. One of the main flies that successfully pollinate for the plant is Psychoda flies also known as the drain flies. As many other pollinators, these bees collect nectar, pollen and resin from plants however, the Euglossine bees’ males also collect scents to create a right mixture of smells to attract females. From September, you will notice some of the leaves begin to die off, and this is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about as the plant enters its winter dormancy.
