This flytrap features red leaves and traps. Young plants are bright red throughout. As the plant matures, it turns maroon with a green margin along the edge of the traps. Despite its attractive red leaves, this particular variety is temperamental. It dislikes root disturbance, and it dislikes excessive heat. (Other varieties of flytraps are much more resilient.) In winter, it will also drop all of its leaves, leaving nothing to show. The Red Dragon Flytrap is best for growers who have experience growing the more typical variety.

Type of Plant: Outdoor perennial for container growing.
Height: Up to 4 inches at maturity.
Sunlight: Full sun during the growing season. (The Red Dragon Flytrap likes full sun but dislikes excessive heat. So it's most suitable to regions with sunny yet moderate summers.)
Water: Low-mineral water (50 ppm or less).
Soil: Equal parts peat moss and perlite only.
Winter: Dormant. Minimal protection in USDA zones 7-9. Mulch in colder regions.

    Red Dragon flytrap

    Posted by Frances on August 12, 2022

    I was so surprised and happy to receive such a healthy Flytrap with large traps. In early May I had ordered this same Red Dragon flytrap from another seller and the traps were very small and haven’t grown.

    Love this plant

    Posted by Austin Alex Farfan on July 14, 2022

    So i put this plant in a big terracotta pot with a sarracenia i got from you as well. It is doing good, lately it has been really hot in California so i purchased a net cover to shade a bit when its 100F. But the plant is doing good. Do you recommend i take my other flytraps out of the black nursing pots they get hot? Thank you, very much happy planting, Sincerely, Austin
