Dionaea muscipula Rouge Sombre
venus fly trap
Description
Dionaea muscipula Rouge Sombre is a visually stunning cultivar of the Venus flytrap, French for 'Dark Red'. The traps of this variety have a deep red coloration. The red coloration is most intense when the plant receives strong sunlight. It is a carnivorous plant and requires specific care, including acidic soil and plenty of sunlight. The traps are sensitive and snap shut quickly upon contact with prey, trapping unsuspecting insects. To grow this plant successfully, provide a mix of peat moss and perlite, and make sure the plant has a proper dormancy period during winter. Avoid fertilizing, as it can harm the plant.
