Dionaea muscipula Spotty
venus fly trap
Description
Dionaea muscipula Spotty is a distinctive cultivar of the Venus flytrap that is known for its unique coloration. Like other Venus flytraps, this plant possesses the iconic trapping mechanism with hinged leaves that close when triggered. The 'Spotty' cultivar is characterized by the presence of spots or speckled markings on its traps, adding a distinctive visual interest. It thrives in similar conditions to other flytraps: full sun and acidic soil, typically composed of peat moss and perlite. Use rainwater or distilled water to keep the soil moist, and avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Feeding with small insects is beneficial, but not essential. Avoid overfeeding.
