Dionaea muscipula Yellow Orange
venus fly trap
Description
Dionaea muscipula 'Yellow-Orange' is a striking cultivar of the Venus flytrap, famed for its carnivorous nature. This plant features vibrant yellow to orange-tinged traps, a deviation from the typical red coloration found in other varieties. The traps are the plant's primary hunting mechanism, snapping shut to capture insects when triggered by sensitive trigger hairs. It thrives in nutrient-poor, acidic soil and requires ample sunlight to maintain its vibrant coloration and activate the trapping mechanism. Water it with distilled water or rainwater to avoid mineral buildup, mimicking its natural bog habitat. To cultivate it successfully, ensure a humid environment, consistent moisture, and periods of dormancy in cooler months.
