Dionaea muscipula Red Dragon Flytrap

It's growing like a weed, and already has a flower stalk. I only had it for a few weeks.

I bought this plant last year along with king henry and judith hindle. It was very small and fragile looking. It grew new traps as old ones died off, so it didn't get any bigger. At the end of the season I re-potted it into 5x5x7 white square pot and waited out the winter. This year it's doing a lot better. It tried to flower, but I cut off the stalk since I want it to grow bigger instead of spending all of its energy flowering. Early traps are maroon with green around the edges, which I love. Although since I live in GA, it gets super hot and so all of the traps turn completely dark red after a couple of weeks. If you like the color and don't mind the slow growth, then it's a great plant. For me, I refer ones with vigor as I like watching them grow.

Hi guys...I always get healthy and great looking plants from you. Keep up the "good growing"!!

very nice plants. arrived fast in good condition

this is the second time I,v filled this out its the same as the first the plants are healthy put them out side laid pice,s of fruit to attract bugs there were catching so many flys that they put out longer traps I,m going to repot them now befor spring so they will have a good start for next year there allready getting root bound

they came looking good put them out side with the Droseri they first cought a spider and some fire flys then a laid a couple of red grapes then they cought flys now they have several long new green traps coming up I,m doing to have repot them in larger pots before winter we have very cold winters 20% below for weeks is not uncommon There getting to big for there pots and I need to make sure they survive winter for spring winter starts at Halloween fith killing frosts and isnt over till last of may

This plant has been a ton of fun to watch, had exploded with growth and producing HUGE traps that are not much smaller than my B52. Great dark red with some green on older traps

Nice color but not deep red

This plant came in fantastic condition, and is currently the fastest-growing plant in my whole CP garden! 10/10 would order from here again! :)

Nice package containers great idea

Plant arrived in great shape and is doing well in it's new home.

I can't really complain about the condition of the "Red Dragon" Venus flytrap I received. It was a small plant that had a number of apparently healthy leaves. I tried to baby the plant since it looked so delicate. Since the weather outside was rather unsettled, I placed the pot in a tray with a little water under fluorescent lights and brought the plant outside in the sun only occasionally. Within a couple of weeks, the older leaves had all died. A blooming stalk pushed up in the center of the plant but grew only an inch or so and then stopped growing. The younger leaves then all died. When I subsequently lifted the flytrap (essentially just a "bulb") to transplant it into a bigger pot with other flytraps, I noticed that it did not appear to have much of a root system at all. The pot of flytraps is now outside. Other plants in the pot are growing and blooming, but I'm not yet sure what has become of my Red Dragon. RESPONSE FROM SARRACENIA NORTHWEST: Sorry to hear about your plant. Despite it looking delicate, this plant is very resilient when given the chance. The initial care that you gave the plant is NOT part of our recommended care instructions. We recommend growing the plant outdoors in full sun. We grow all flytraps, including Red Dragon, strictly outdoors at our nursery in Oregon. I suspect that the plant did not receive adequate lighting. It needs strong sunlight to survive and requires more sunlight than other types of flytraps. Without it, the plant will slowly wither away. Lack of proper sunlight is the main cause of death for flytraps and other carnivorous plants. Always remember that what you think is bright enough is irrelevant. The plant is always the final judge. As you have noted, the plant had a number of healthy leaves upon arrival. Unfortunately, because the proper care instructions were not followed, we are not able to follow-up with the 30-day guarantee. It only applies when plants are cared for according to the instructions provided with the plant. You can also contact us when you notice a problem with your plant or have any questions regarding care instructions. We will always work with you to ensure your success.
