Very healthy, and arrived quickly!
Dionaea muscipula Red Dragon Flytrap
$11.95
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.

Venus Fly Trap
The Venus Flytrap that I purchased was packaged perfectly! It looked like the box may have fallen or be a little bit squished on the way here but even then the plant was packaged so well that it wasn’t damaged at all! I realized was much much smaller than I thought it was going to be, with only three little traps. It quickly started to grow more and more traps and it is so cool to see them grow. I purchased this thinking it would keep flies out of the kitchen but after doing more research i realized it was going to do that. It is still really cool to see a new trap sprouting almost every week. Last night one of the traps finally caught a fly and it was very exciting to wake up to. Everyone in the house loves it. The price of this Venus fly trap was also great, i found it on here for $14 which really helped with my decision to make the purchase!

Flytrap
This was actually a birthday present for my 6 year old son. When it arrived it was in excellent condition despite the box having a huge ding in one of the corners. I read him the instructions and he's been doing amazing at caring for it. His only complaint (even after explanation) is it's not big enough to eat the spiders yet ðŸ¤.

Healthy Plant
The plant was dormant but now many of the traps have grown and look healthy.

Great little plant!
Packaged carefully with clear instructions. Of all the online carnivorous plant stores, Sarracenia Northwest packaged this little guy the most safely. The red dragon is growing well in the new home. The new leaves grew green. Although basic care instructions are very helpful, it would have been nice to know that leaves might turn green (not red) if not enough light. Hopefully, I got the environment fixed now.

Red Dragon Flytrap
I bought two of these flytraps and am very pleased with my purchase. They have continued to flourish and are not hard to care for at all. I would not hesitate to buy more from Sarracenia.
