Dionaea muscipula Red Road Oxford
venus fly trap
Description
Dionaea muscipula Red Road Oxford is a striking variety of the Venus flytrap, known for its vibrant red coloration. The entire trap, from the exterior to the interior, can develop a deep red hue when exposed to sufficient sunlight. This coloration intensifies with age and sunlight exposure, making it a visually stunning specimen. Like other Venus flytraps, it captures insects using rapid trap closure triggered by tiny trigger hairs. It thrives in nutrient-poor, acidic soil, and requires a specific dormancy period during winter. Proper watering with mineral-free water and bright light are essential for healthy growth. To propagate successfully, provide a sunny location, water consistently, and ensure proper drainage.
