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.

Dead
They came delivered ok but died after a week. *** RESPONSE FROM SARRACENIA NORTHWEST *** I'm sorry that the plant didn't make it! Every plant comes with a 30-day guarantee. We only ask that you follow the care guide that was included with your plant. We are also available to assist you in any way we can. I checked my email and didn't see any message from you. So without knowing how you cared for your plant, I'm afraid I don't know how to proceed. You're still welcome to reach out to us to figure out what went wrong.
