Dionaea muscipula 'Wacky Traps' is an appropriate name for this bizarre Venus flytrap cultivar. Because the tissue never fully develops, the traps take on a strange jagged appearance and the teeth are almost nonexistent. Needless to say, traps aren't very effective at catching prey so supplemental foliar feeding with Maxsea is beneficial. *This plant ships read more >
