Dionaea muscipula Red Dragon Flytrap
$15.95
$14.95
See below for a full description.
This flytrap has red leaves and traps. Young plants are bright red all over. As it matures, it turns maroon with a green edge along the traps. Despite its attractive red leaves, it dislikes excessive heat. It also dislikes root disturbance, so we suggest repotting it only in late winter before the growing season starts. In fall, it slows down and gets ready for winter dormancy by dropping nearly all of its traps. While dormant, this plant can survive an overnight frost down to 20°F. Growth picks up again in spring.
The Red Dragon Flytrap is best suited for growers who have experience with the more common variety.

Great plant!
I ordered three plants, including a Red Dragon, and they were all packaged wonderfully. They arrived in great health and have been growing vigorously since I received them months ago. The Red Dragon is such a beautiful flytrap in person. These guys definitely grow top notch plants with top notch service. Thanks!!
