Dionaea muscipula Cup Trap
Venus fly trap
Description
Dionaea muscipula 'Cup Trap' is an unusual Venus flytrap cultivar prized for its distinct trap shape. The traps of this cultivar are notably rounded, appearing more cup-like than the typical hinged shape. This unique form, combined with their carnivorous nature, makes them a captivating addition to any plant collection. Like other Venus flytraps, it is a fascinating carnivorous plant native to North Carolina. They feed primarily on insects, which are attracted by sweet nectar produced inside the traps. Cultivating these plants involves providing them with a nutrient-poor substrate, ensuring they get plenty of bright sunlight, and watering them with distilled water or rainwater.
