Venus Fly Trap (Red Cultivar)

Venus Fly Trap - Red Variant (Dionaea muscipula var. Red) 
 
A color morph of the venerable and iconic Venus Fly Trap. Each cup comes with dozens of individual plants. Hence, you have plenty of plant material to make a Venus Flytrap garden or experiment with the plants in different grown conditions, including using various substrates, different temperatures, humidity, and lighting until you get the perfect growth.
 
An alluring yet mysterious plant that really breaks the mold, the Venus Fly Trap has been a classic example of evolution at its finest and is a stunning plant to have in your house. It even doubles as a very effective fruit-fly trap on hot summer days. Unlike purchasing these as single plants (at the same or higher cost), you can really work with these plantlets from culture to eventually find the best way to grow them. Venus Fly Traps can be challenging so having so many individual plants to work with is the best way to go if you value your money, time, and exotic plants.
 
Venus Fly Traps require a lot of light so placing them near a bright window without exposing it to long periods of direct sunlight often gets you the best results. It also likes a substrate that drains well but can also be quite wet as these are naturally adapted to humid habitats.
 
This particular variety looks unassuming but with sufficient light and care, it will turn a pinkish-magenta color that is absolutely stunning and makes for one of the most interesting and striking additions to any plant collection.   
 
Due to their popularity, many varieties of Venus Fly Traps have been poached to the point of extinction from their natural habitat in the Carolinas and the Smokey Mountain National Park. It's virtually impossible to tell if a plant is nursery-grown or poached from the wild. Our VFTs are produced in our lab via in-vitro, tissue culture techniques so they are not just guaranteed to be 100% sustainable, but also completely free of any diseases or pests!
