Dionaea muscipula Umgekrempelt
venus fly trap
Description
Dionaea muscipula Umgekrempelt is a striking cultivar of the Venus flytrap known for its distinctively altered traps. This plant maintains the iconic trapping mechanism of Venus flytraps, with hinged leaves that close to catch prey. The 'Umgekrempelt' variety is celebrated for its modified traps, where the edges of the traps are curled or otherwise deformed. It requires full sun exposure and acidic soil, as is typical for Venus flytraps. Use rainwater or distilled water, as tap water can harm it. Feeding with small insects is beneficial, but not essential. Avoid overfeeding. Ensure it gets adequate sunlight, but shield it from intense heat, and avoid exposure to high levels of fertilizer.
