Dionaea muscipula Spider
venus fly trap
Description
Dionaea muscipula Spider is a captivating cultivar of the Venus flytrap, named for the unique structure of its traps. The traps, instead of having uniform teeth, have elongated projections that give it a spider-like appearance. This variety is just as effective at catching insects as other Venus flytraps. Like other Venus flytraps, they have a limited number of snaps before the trap dies. It requires similar care to other Venus flytraps, including bright light, acidic soil, and consistent moisture. Avoid using tap water and fertilizer, as they can harm the plant. For best results, provide consistent sunlight exposure and ensure the plant receives a dormancy period in the winter.
