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.

BEAUTIFUL plant!!
This plant arrive quickly and was pack very secure. After unpacking, the plant was deep healthy red. The photos don't do it justice. Thanks for an absolutely gorgeous plant!

My favorite carnivorous plant so far
Even though they look so similar to venus fly traps, this one is my favorite just because of the color and name. The challenge will be working through my black thumb to keep my plant healthy. :)

The plant was smaller than expected. I planted it and it died back but it put some growth.

Size
Tricky thing, "size". Pot size comparable to plant size. This thing is tiny inside this pot, but seems healthy. Traps aren't open, but they seem to be alive. I'm exited for spring. *** RESPONSE BY SARRACENIA NORTHWEST *** Thank you for your purchase! Yes, flytraps are naturally smaller in winter when they're dormant. They will produce larger traps in spring when growth resumes. Make sure to follow the winter care info included with the plant. Enjoy!
