Dionaea muscipula Red Piranha
venus fly trap
Description
Dionaea muscipula Red Piranha is a striking cultivar of the Venus flytrap, named for its aggressive appearance. It is characterized by its vibrant red traps and prominent, sharp teeth. The traps are highly effective at catching insects, closing quickly upon contact with trigger hairs. The striking red coloration is most prominent when the plant is exposed to bright sunlight. This carnivorous plant requires acidic, nutrient-poor soil, and it needs mineral-free water. A good tip for successful cultivation is to avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Place the plant in a sunny location, ideally one that receives several hours of direct sunlight.
