Dionaea muscipula Dent long
Venus fly trap
Description
Dionaea muscipula 'Dent long' is a striking variety of Venus flytrap distinguished by its elongated, tooth-like structures along the trap margins. The 'teeth' are much longer and sharper than those found in the typical Venus flytrap, creating a visually dramatic appearance. This cultivar, like other Venus flytraps, relies on insects for sustenance. It grows in the bogs and savannas of the Carolinas. The traps close rapidly in response to the stimulation of trigger hairs inside. To grow these successfully, provide plenty of sunlight, keep the soil consistently moist with distilled water, and use nutrient-poor soil.
