Venus Flytrap ‘Crossed Teeth’

Venus Flytrap ‘Crossed teeth’ is a remarkable carnivorous plant. Its cupped traps with unusually long, crossed or partially fused teeth may be coloured green, orange or even purple, depending on the growing conditions. These Venus Flytraps digest the insects and spiders they trap on the tiny hairs growing on the inner surface of the petioles, so you never need to add fertiliser.

Dionaea muscipula ‘Crossed Teeth’ will thrive outdoors in the UK and is ideal for growing in an unheated greenhouse. Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy using pure rainwater or distilled water, not tap water; pot on every 2 years in nutrient-poor soil.
