Dionaea muscipula ‘Angel Wings’ is quite an unusual Venus flytrap cultivar. The traps of the plant open up to 180 degrees and will often lay flat against the soil with the inner trap surface turning orange, pink, or red in strong light. The teeth are short and may bend or curl in different directions. The cultivar is named after the trap shape which resembles a pair of wings. Traps won’t close completely so supplemental foliar feeding with Maxsea may be beneficial.

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.

It seems a bit more light deprived than just the days of shipping would cause. Otherwise I’m happy.
