Dionaea muscipula ‘DC-XL’ may now be the largest Venus Flytrap around! It rivals the B52 Flytrap with traps nearly 2 inches in size and is a hardy grower. Traps of mature plants are largest in spring. See size descriptions below.
Description
Size and packing method: Small plants are about 1 inch in diameter and produce juvenile traps, medium size plants are about 2 inches in diameter and produce traps around 0.5 inches across. Plants are shipped bare root, carefully wrapped in a damp paper towel. 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.
