Description:
The plant measures anywhere from 2 inches for a young plant to 8 inches for a mature plant.  Left undisturbed it should form a clump of several plants.  These come from side shoots or new growth from the roots.  The lifespan of the plant is unlimited with proper care.

When flowering, the plant produces a side stalk with blooms opening one after another and ranging from light purple , pink to white.  The flowers self pollinate and produce large amounts of seed which germinate readily.  Plants with red pigment on the leaves will have purple or pink blooms and plants without red tent will have white blooms.  Seed from either plant can produce blooms of each color without being cross pollinated.  The healthiest and most colorful plants are achieved by exposing them to strong sunlight, inside or outside.

This plant is an active fly-paper trap.  With the digestive glands mainly in the center of the leaf, the plant will move small insects there.  It will kink or completely roll around larger insects. A healthy plant is capable of catching prey as large as a fly but normally catches smaller insects, the larger ones are able to crawl off the leaf.
