Dionaea muscipula Shark Teeth
venus fly trap
Description
Dionaea muscipula Shark Teeth is a distinctive Venus flytrap cultivar, easily recognized by its unique trap margins. Instead of the typical rounded teeth, this variety features elongated, pointed teeth that resemble a shark's formidable set of teeth, giving it a dramatic appearance. The traps are sensitive and snap shut quickly upon contact with prey. These plants thrive in nutrient-poor soil, mimicking their natural bog-like environment. Ensure that the soil stays moist but not waterlogged and place the plant in a location with bright, direct sunlight for optimal coloration. To cultivate this plant, consider using a mix of peat moss and perlite and avoid tap water, as it contains minerals harmful to the plant.
