Venus Flytrap
This carnivorous plant variety has short sawtooth edges
on the traps and upright-growing leaves. Native to the
Carolinas, it is not a tropical plant as most believe. The
6-12" plant uses its traps to catch prey to build protein
formations in nitrogen-poor soils. Plant outdoors in a
container in a sunny spot for best results. Dionaea muscipula
‘Dente’
Shipped in 3" pot.

| Unique Characteristics: |
|
This carnivorous plant variety exhibits shorter sawtooth edges to the traps with leaves that grow more upright than other dionaea varieties. It is not a tropical plant as one might think. It is found natively in North and South Carolina in nitrogen poor areas such as bogs. The plants use its traps to catch prey to get nitrogen for protein formation that the soil cannot provide. Performs best outdoors in a sunny location with amply moisture. |
| |
| Additional Information: |
|
The sign of a healthy venus flytrap is a pink tinge to the inside of the traps. If you see a pale green, you may need to provide more light. |
