Venus Flytrap ‘Phalanx’

Dionaea muscipula ‘Phalanx’ is a compact carnivorous plant with long, wicked-looking teeth. These cilia or teeth arch out gracefully along the edges of the bright red traps as if reaching out for the next tasty insect!

Grow this stunning Venus Flytrap outdoors in a humid, sunny spot or indoors on a south or west-facing windowsill. Like all flytraps, it will go dormant over the winter, and some of the traps will die back. During this period, move it to a bright but unheated room, keep it well-watered (but not sogged) with distilled water, and it will grow again in spring. Repot every two years in special carnivorous plant compost.
