Advantages: really interesting to watch and the fact it is carniverous and a plant is pretty cool!

Disadvantages: it can die if lots of people mess with it!

i think this plant is truly spectacular and i have one in my house its so good because i sometimes get flies in my house and it gobbles them all up! and its very interesting to watch because the venus fly trap (Dionaea muscipula) in my opinion is one of the most ineresting plants because when a fly leands on its leaves (shown in picture) it hits one of those hairs the plant closes really fast trapping the fly and slowly digesting the fly using it acid! which is really cool for a plant you can buy them from nearly every garden centre i got mine for 4 pound but you can most likely get them cheaper the problem is that sometimes kids come and poke the venus fly trap and if all its leaves close it will die! also if you have to you can feed it flies yourself but its not easy to catch a fly and shove in it!. you can tell if the plant is healthy or not by looking at its leaves if they are red its healthy if the are green then it needs a little help

Summary: a really cool and facinating plant and it gets rid of flies from your house
