    Discover the Venus Fly Trap 'Scarlatine'

    Introducing the stunning Venus Fly Trap 'Scarlatine,' a special import that brings a touch of the exotic to your collection. This unique plant not only captivates with its irregular color patterns but also showcases the fascinating beauty of carnivorous plants.

    Key Features:

    • Upright Growth: This dionaea variety boasts a robust upright structure, making it a striking addition to any plant display.
    • Variegated Spots: The plant features captivating variegated spot colors, adding visual interest and charm.
    • Short Irregular Teeth: The distinctive trap design gives it a unique appearance, sure to intrigue plant lovers and visitors alike.

    Care Instructions:

    Watering:

    Keep the soil evenly moist using mineral-free water such as distilled or rainwater. Opt for the tray method, ensuring 1-2.5 cm of water at the bottom for optimal growth.

    Light:

    This plant thrives in full to very bright light, making it perfect for outdoor settings, windowsills, or terrariums. Its vibrant red colors will develop beautifully under optimal lighting conditions.

    Location:

    Whether outdoors or indoors, the Venus Fly Trap is adaptable and can handle frost or light freeze conditions. It flourishes in various growing environments.

    Dormancy:

    As temperatures drop, the plant may seem to lose its traps, but this is a natural dormancy process. Allow it to rest and reduce watering accordingly while keeping the soil moist.

    Feeding and Maintenance:

    • Feeding: Allow your Venus Fly Trap to catch its own prey. During active growth, it only needs to be fed once a month.
    • Repotting: No immediate repotting is necessary upon receipt. Consider repotting every 1-2 years during winter dormancy for optimal health.
    • Flowering: Remove flower spikes in spring to prevent weakening of the plant.

    Each purchase includes a FREE care card to assist you in providing the best environment for your new plant. Get ready to be amazed by the Venus Fly Trap 'Scarlatine'—a living testament to the wonders of nature!

    Love the plant

    Beautiful flytrap. Caught a fly on its own within 20 minutes after unboxing it. Was very well packaged. Thanks!

    Awesome mutated traps

    Plant is healthy and unique, though quite small still. Will grow much more after dormancy. Awesome addition to the collection.

    Expectations Exceeded

    As with my previous purchases from Bonsai Tree, the 'little' critter-eater I received was very well-protected for transport and arrived healthy & safe. A wonderful addition to my Death Garden at home. I will most definitely be buying more bug-busting plants from Bonsai Tree in the future!

    Just want to cuddle her

    Her traps look like they are finished off with beautiful fine lace, sown delicately around the very edges. Captivating colours which almost change when you turn her in the sun. Love her, love her, love her ❤️

    Grrrrrr

    I can see why this was named Werewolf. It's traps honestly look like a dog snarling and growling at you. Absolutely magnificent specimen and a must have to any enthusiasts collection.
