The Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) is easily the most widely recognized and best known carnivorous plant. This variety is known as 'Dente' or "Shark Teeth." It produces rows of jagged teeth around each trap instead of the more common "eyelash" shape. With their fanged, gaping traps, there’s nothing else in the world quite like these delightfully freaky plants. These plants also require a winter dormancy period. This means their leaves "die-back" for the winter and appear to be dead. It is normal for plants to arrive with some brown or black leaves, and they will be replaced once the plant resumes growth. Native to swampy areas in North and South Carolina in the United States, these plants make a distinctive addition to your plant collection. These plants feature multiple mouth-like traps with spiny teeth or fangs around the edge. In the interior of the mouth, short, stiff trigger hairs alert the plant when touched. Once the flytrap has been activated, it snaps closed in a fraction of a second. These plants are also unique in the fact that they do not need traditional soil to survive and thrive. As such, each plant is shipped in a moss plug and comes with enough New Zealand sphagnum moss to pack the 3” plastic pot. This specialized carnivorous plant soil mix gives your Venus Flytrap the best chance to thrive under your care. Our plants also come with a live arrival guarantee: if your plant arrives dead or damaged due to the shipping process, please contact us immediately and we will replace or refund the plant. Each plant has reached adulthood by the time it ships, but it still allows you to watch the plant continue to grow. These plants make excellent gifts for birthdays, Christmas, or even just because. Whether you’re wanting to surprise a friend or family member or keep it for your own collection, these Venus Flytrap plants make a beautiful and fascinating addition to any plant collection.
