Dionaea muscipula is a Venus flytrap.
Characteristics
Mature, assorted Venus flytraps supplied in a 9 cm pot. The original labels were lost, so individual clone identity cannot be guaranteed. The assortment includes plants originally labelled Low Giant, DCXL, Maroon Monster and G-16. The largest, healthiest available plant is selected for each order. Shape, foliage, trap colour and teeth vary.
Care
- Position: Provide full sun or very bright light for growth and colour development.
- Watering: Keep the growing medium evenly moist. Use mineral-free water such as rainwater, distilled water or reverse-osmosis water. During active growth, water from below using a shallow tray.
- Dormancy: Growth slows as days shorten and temperatures fall. Traps may die back. Reduce watering, allowing the tray to empty before refilling, but keep the growing medium moist.
- Feeding: Allow the plant to catch its own insects. Do not feed meat or cheese, and avoid triggering traps unnecessarily. Remove blackened, spent traps.
- Repotting: Immediate repotting is not normally necessary. Repot every one to two years during winter dormancy, approximately May to July in South Africa, using a growing medium intended for carnivorous plants.
- Flowers: Flowering uses plant energy. Remove spring flower spikes if maintaining vegetative growth is the priority.
