You will receive a similar plant to the one photographed and not necessarily the same. If you would like a photo of the exact plant we are sending, just drop us a line! Pots and plants are sold separately unless otherwise specified in the listing.
Dionaea muscipula ‘Red Piranha’ is astriking cultivar of the classic Venus Flytrap, named for its distinctive all-red colouration. It isn't the fastest growing Dionaea, but still well worth adding to any collection!
Plant Care Light: Full sun please! The brighter, the better — a sunny windowsill or outdoor spot in summer will do wonders.
Watering: Only distilled water or rainwater. Keep the soil moist, never dry, and never soggy. Sensitive to tap water — it’s a diva like that.
Temperature: Likes 20–30°C during active growth, but cool dormancy in winter (5–10°C) is normal and needed. Growth slows, but don’t panic!
Potting: Carnivorous plants need nutrient-poor soil. We recommend planting in plain sphagnum moss. Avoid standard houseplant compost and fertiliser.
Hot Tips: Dormancy is key: in winter, growth slows and traps may die back — this is normal! Don’t feed it meat, and let it catch its own snacks. High humidity and strong light will keep it snappy and vibrant.
Pet Friendly: Technically yes — but those traps are delicate, so keep curious paws away.
