Visual Description: The Dionaea muscipula 'Cupped Trap' is a fascinating Venus Flytrap variety that features uniquely shaped traps, with shorter and more rounded "cupped" lobes compared to the traditional Venus Flytrap. These baby plants, around 2-5 cm in size, are potted in a bio cup with a specialized carnivorous plant potting mix. The cupped traps are a deep green color with red highlights, making them an interesting and collectible addition. Each bio cup contains one plant, and the bio cup helps maintain the necessary humidity for growth.

Country of Origin: Native to the subtropical wetlands of North and South Carolina, USA.

Ideal Growing Conditions:

  • Bright, indirect sunlight
  • Humid environment with well-draining, nutrient-poor soil (sphagnum peat moss and perlite mix)
  • Keep soil moist with distilled or rainwater (avoid tap water)
  • Temperature range of 21-29°C during the growing season
  • Cooler dormancy period in winter (around 4-10°C)

Additional Information:

  • Bio Cup Benefits: These young Venus Flytraps require the humidity provided by the bio cup. Keep the lid on to maintain ideal growing conditions while the plant matures.
  • Watering Tips: Use only distilled or rainwater to keep the soil moist. Tap water contains minerals that can harm the plant.
  • Feeding: Although these baby plants can catch their own prey, occasionally feeding them small insects can help boost growth.
