Venus Flytrap ‘All Red’ is a beautiful form of flytrap that turns a deep maroon color under strong light. The red color is caused by an abundance of pigment in the plant cells called anthocyanin. Like all flytraps, this plant must undergo a cool winter dormancy in order to stay healthy long term.
Description
Size and packing method: You will receive a bare root plant about 1 inch in diameter, carefully wrapped in a damp paper towel. Plants are growing quickly at the moment and haven’t had time to turn fully red yet. If selecting with soil mix, you will receive two cups of our prepackaged Carnivorous Plant Soil Mix in addition to the bare root plant. This quantity of soil is roughly enough to fill one 2.5 x 2.5 x 3.5 inch square pot.
