Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula) 'Sawtooth'

about 2-3" across]. Comes with care instructions. 🌈🌿 Dionaea muscipula (Venus Flytrap) Care Guide 🌱 Plant Size About 2 inches in diameter. ☀️ Light Full sun is ideal for strong growth and vibrant coloration. In areas where temperatures exceed 100°F, provide 30–40% shade cloth to prevent leaf burn. 🪴 Potting Medium Use a nutrient-poor, well-draining mix such as peat & perlite, pure peat, or long-fiber sphagnum moss. 🪰 Feeding If not catching insects naturally, feed small bugs or fish food every 3–4 weeks. 💧 Water Use the tray method and keep the soil consistently moist at all times. Only use low-mineral water such as distilled, rainwater, or reverse osmosis water. 💦 Humidity Prefers 50–85% humidity, but adapts well to outdoor conditions or indoor setups with proper lighting. 🌡️ Temperature Active growth: 65–90°F (spring and summer) Dormancy period: 35–55°F (winter) 📏 Mature Size Varies by cultivar and growing conditions. Plants will gradually increase in size over time with proper care. 🌙 Dormancy Winter dormancy is required for long-term health. During this time, growth slows or stops. Reduce watering slightly and provide cooler temperatures. ⚠️ Common Mistakes • Skipping dormancy • Using tap water (high in minerals) • Providing insufficient light • Overfeeding traps • Allowing the soil to dry out 🌱 How to Succeed Water: Keep in a shallow water tray using distilled or rainwater. Light: Provide as much direct sunlight as possible for best growth and coloration. Dormancy: Allow a natural winter rest period with cooler temperatures. Patience: Traps naturally die off and regrow—this is part of the plant’s normal cycle.
