Dionaea muscipula Petite Dragon
venus fly trap
Description
The 'Petite Dragon' cultivar is a charming variant of the Venus flytrap, Dionaea muscipula, prized for its compact size and colorful traps. As the name implies, it stays relatively small, making it an excellent choice for small containers or terrariums. Its traps are typically a deep red or burgundy color, enhanced by ample sunlight. The 'Petite Dragon' exhibits vigorous growth for its size, quickly forming a dense clump. Its smaller stature makes it easier to care for. Like all Venus flytraps, it thrives in nutrient-poor soil and requires plenty of sunlight. Use distilled or rainwater and avoid tap water, as the minerals can be harmful.
