What does the venus fly trap do after it has caught its prey?

After a Venus flytrap catches its prey, it closes its lobes tightly, trapping the insect inside. The plant then secretes digestive enzymes to break down the soft tissues of the prey over a period of about 5 to 12 days. Once digestion is complete, the trap reopens, revealing the indigestible parts, such as exoskeletons, which are washed away by rain or blown away by the wind. This process provides essential nutrients that the plant absorbs to support its growth.
