While there is only one species of Venus flytrap, Dionaea musciplua, we have developed a wide variety of cultivars. These cultivated varieties vary in color, size, and trap shape. The official cultivar name 'Akai Ryu' translates to red dragon in English, and it's easy to see why! The color can vary from a deep maroon when grown in intense light, to a pleasant deep red with the occasional green accents.
Venus flytraps are a beginner friendly plant, the care instructions for which can be found here. They do require a dormant period to ensure healthy plants, information on how best to achieve that can be found here. In most of the US, this can easily be achieved by simply leaving them outdoors!
All carnivorous plants are pet safe, so no worries here! These plants are much more dangerous to insects.
Photos are representative and some natural variation should be expected. Plants will be shipped bare root and are suitable for a 3 to 4 inch pot.
