Once you have fed your venus flytrap a bug, you may be wondering how long it will take for it to finish “eating’ How long does it take a venus flytrap to dissolve a bug?
Once the trap has closed and your flytrap begins the process of releasing fluids inside the trap, the digestive fluids will break down the bug so that the soft, inner part of the venus flytrap can be digested. This can take anywhere from 7-12 days. Be patient. Do not do anything to the trap while this in in progress or you may end up killing your plant.
Once the process is done and the inner part of the bug is digested, the trap opens and the shell or dried up carcass of the bug is allowed to drop or blow away. For more more venus flytrap feeding information, visit Feed a Venus Flytrap.
