Dionaea Red Dragon Flytrap

Red Dragon is a red variant of the Venus Flytrap. It 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 recommend repotting it only in late winter before the growing season begins. In fall, it slows down and prepares for winter dormancy by dropping nearly all of its traps. While dormant, this plant can survive an overnight frost down to 20°F. Growth resumes in spring.
