Venus flytraps are perennial plants, which means they bloom year after year. The flowers are white with green veins running from the base of the petal toward the edges. Pollinated flowers eventually give rise to seeds. Each trap on the plant can only open and close several times before it dies and falls off.

Should I let my Venus flytrap flower?

Fully grown Venus Flytraps flower in Spring, but unless you are an experienced grower and intend to harvest seed, you should cut off the flower stalk once it's reached about 5 cm tall. Flowering can be exhausting for Venus Flytraps, and most plants will grow more vigorously during summer if prevented from flowering.

Why is my Venus Fly Trap blooming?

If your Venus Fly Trap is healthy and in good condition, it will start growing a long stem that will be often emerging from a center of plant. This long green stalk will have one to a few buds that will later emerge into flowers. ... The reason why the flower stalk is tall is to avoid the plant triggering its own traps.
