Uses: Venus flytraps are carnivorous plants, meaning that they obtain most of their nutrients from trapping and digesting insects. Venus flytraps are popular ornamental plants and can be grown indoors or outdoors. Venus flytraps are often studied by scientists to learn more about carnivorous plants and plant movement.
