These Red Dragons are Top Tier! Definitely recommended
Dionaea muscipula Red Dragon Flytrap
$14.95
This flytrap features red leaves and traps. Young plants are bright red throughout. As the plant matures, it turns maroon with a green margin along the edge of the traps. Despite its attractive red leaves, this particular variety is temperamental. It dislikes root disturbance, and it dislikes excessive heat. (Other varieties of flytraps are much more resilient.) In winter, it will also drop all of its leaves, leaving nothing to show. The Red Dragon Flytrap is best for growers who have experience growing the more typical variety.
Type of Plant: Outdoor perennial for container growing.
Height: Up to 4 inches at maturity.
Sunlight: Full sun during the growing season. (The Red Dragon Flytrap likes full sun but dislikes excessive heat. So it's most suitable to regions with sunny yet moderate summers.)
Water: Low-mineral water (50 ppm or less).
Soil: Equal parts peat moss and perlite only.
Winter: Dormant. Minimal protection in USDA zones 7-9. Mulch in colder regions.

Red dragon
I got two flytraps from them; one is doing really well, and the other is struggling and not looking like it was going to make it. They did send a new one, which was nice of them, and I look forward to buying more from them.

Flytrap
Good morning , The plants are doing very well , growing and one just finished flowering. I have 3 flytraps and when insects come into contact with the traps they stick but it doesn’t close. I imagine the plant still gets the nutrients from the bug regardless, is this correct? Other than that everything is enjoyable. Thank you, Ted

Venus fly trap
I'm very happy with my Red dragon Venus fly trap, it came packaged perfectly fine. There was a few stalks and that was it when I got it, now it's waking up and looking good ? I tried to keep it dormant for a bit but it doesn't seem to want to. I'll let it do it's thing and keep an eye on it Beautiful ?
