Description
Grows from underground rhizomes which are dormant during winter. Rosettes of pods form which are triggered to close when touched. Pods will die off after closing. Plants can be killed if pods are touched too often without trapping insects. Do not fertiliser this plant as it may not form pods if it is well fed.
