Dionaea muscipula Red Dragon Flytrap
$15.95
$14.95
See below for a full description.
This flytrap has red leaves and traps. Young plants are bright red all over. As it matures, it turns maroon with a green edge along the traps. Despite its attractive red leaves, it dislikes excessive heat. It also dislikes root disturbance, so we suggest repotting it only in late winter before the growing season starts. In fall, it slows down and gets ready for winter dormancy by dropping nearly all of its traps. While dormant, this plant can survive an overnight frost down to 20°F. Growth picks up again in spring.
The Red Dragon Flytrap is best suited for growers who have experience with the more common variety.

Great plant, but...
It arrived looking great, but it would've been nice to know that the flytraps are potted in plugs, especially with a root-sensitive cultivar like this one. Luckily mine survived repotting, but I didn't like removing the plug knowing I might kill my plant by doing so.

Dionea Muscipula Red Dragon Flytrap
I was supposed to have received the above as a 30the anniversary celebration gift but did not receive it. Instead, I received a healthy Drosera dichotoma Giant Staghorn sundew (that also has gone dormant now along with my D. filiformis I received in the same order). My partner had just given me six Red Dragon flytraps for my birthday the day before this order arrived, so I was fine with not receiving one from you. I still gave a 5 star rating as the Giant Staghorn sundew also arrived in outstanding condition.

My Favorite
I stumbled upon SARRACENIA NORTHWEST while researching carnivorous plants and was thrilled to discover they had a red dragon available. I had one before but unfortunately didn’t keep it alive, so this is my second shot. When my little red dragon arrived, it was packaged so carefully that it showed no signs of stress at all. Living in South Florida, USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 10b, I was initially worried that our intense sun might be too much, but my plant is thriving in it. I'm growing it in a bog garden, and my little red dragon couldn’t be happier. I’m loving every moment of watching it grow!

The plant is beautiful
The packaging was amazing the plant was hydrated and made it to NC in great shape. I was surprised to see that it has a new little trap coming out. I am so excited. I keep it watered with rain water and it’s doing great outside. So so far so good.

for all plant growers
I've been having a good experience growing my flytrap. This is the first I've owned. I love the deep red color. It has been over a month since I've gotten it, and it's grown many more traps. The care guide included is very helpful. In general, make sure you keep the soil moist with distilled water and give it plenty of sunlight. My south-facing window has been able to give the flytrap plenty of sunshine. And she seems very happy.

The Red Dragons Are Here!
I was very excited to actually receive EXACTLY what their photos showed. Sarracenia Northwest packing and shipping of, in this case, fly traps, is top notch! Thank you and Happy 30th to you guys!

Worried
It has new growth but looks like it’s splitting. Hope I can separate them.

Best Nursery
I ordered from a handful of popular nurseries, all around the same time with about the same budget. This nursery not only processed and shipped my order the fastest, but also sent some of the biggest and healthiest looking plants. 5/5 Highly recommend.
