In its natural habitat, the Venus flytrap prefers savanna plains, where there are few trees and bushes, like those found in North and South Carolina. Here the plants often grow surrounded by grasses and other carnivorous plants. The plants grow in a variety of soil types such as peat, sand, or loam. With an acid pH of between 4 and 5.

Distinctivley the plants originate in soils which are lacking in Nitrogen, the insect catching behaviour is an adaption to provide the plant with this element.

The Venus flytrap can withstand full sun but only in soil with a high moisture content. Plants are perennial and are able to withstand temperatures of -10F, but in their natural habitat the temperature rarely falls below 32F.
