Dionaea muscipula Dentata
venus fly trap
Description
Dionaea muscipula 'Dentata' is a captivating Venus flytrap cultivar, immediately recognizable by its distinctive trap teeth. Unlike the standard, evenly spaced teeth of other flytraps, 'Dentata' has fused or elongated teeth that give the traps an unusual, almost spiky appearance. The plant exhibits the same carnivorous behavior as other Venus flytraps, trapping insects with a rapid snapping action. Like its counterparts, 'Dentata' thrives in nutrient-poor, acidic soil and needs regular watering with pure water. To maintain its vibrancy and vigor, provide it with plenty of sunlight, and allow for a period of dormancy during the winter months. The interesting teeth of the plant are its defining characteristic, making it a valuable addition to any carnivorous plant collection. The aesthetic of the elongated teeth makes it a favored plant.
