Dionaea muscipula Red Dragon Flytrap

$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.

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¤.

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.
