QuestionSo, I have a venus flytrap that I picked up at a local nursery [sadly before I
found out about cobraplants.com] and it looks like it is starting to produce
flowers. Can they fertilize themselves using their own pollen, or does it require
pollen from another venus flytrap? I guess my question is, since I have only one
flytrap, will I be able to produce seeds?
AnswerHi Aaron,
Sometimes another flower on the same plant can work, but usually self-pollinaton doesn't on Venus flytraps. Chances are you won't be able to get seeds this year unless you get another plant in bloom.
Good Growing!
