Stylidium caespitosum, also known as the " trigger plant ", is a carnivorous plant native to Australia .
Carnivory in Stylidium caespitosum is an active process where the plant uses a rapid "trigger" mechanism to project its gynostemium (an organ unique to the Stylidium resulting from the fusion of the plant's reproductive organs) onto insects.
Although the main role of this mechanism is pollination, it also serves to capture insects, allowing the plant to supplement its nutritional needs through digestion.

Packaging and packing
22 years of experience in packaging our plants. 100% recycled or reused.
Up to 40°C in summer and 0 to 15°C in winter. Tolerates light frosts.
Use only rainwater, demineralized water, or reverse osmosis water. Water that is too hard will cause the plant to die within a few weeks. Do not use bottled water; it generally contains too much salt, which is harmful to the plant. In summer, place the plant in a large saucer with water.
In winter, keep the substrate moist.
Useless: This carnivorous plant grows naturally in poor soils and occasionally compensates for deficiencies by digesting prey.
Shaded but bright location. In winter, artificial light is beneficial.
The mixture for carnivorous plants is the basic substrate for many species, you can make it yourself by mixing blond peat , perlite and vermiculite , (4V/1V/1V) or blond peat, and non-calcareous aquarium sand (2V/1V). Easy to propagate!
