Dionaea muscipula Red Shark Teeth
Venus fly trap
Description
Dionaea muscipula 'Red Shark Teeth' is a captivating cultivar of the Venus flytrap, celebrated for its unique characteristics. Its traps, the modified leaves that capture prey, exhibit a vibrant red coloration, intensifying under strong sunlight. The 'teeth' along the trap's margins are sharply pointed, resembling shark teeth, a distinctive feature that sets it apart. These carnivorous plants thrive in nutrient-poor soil and require specific conditions to flourish. They capture insects using a quick-snap mechanism triggered by tiny hairs inside the traps. They are sensitive to tap water; use distilled or rainwater. Provide plenty of sunlight for best color.
