• Trap characteristics: Green traps and white leaf

• Plant size: Medium/Small

A selection made by Caput Mundi Labs, this Dionaea Muscipula was selected for its unique coloration, a perfect balance between the white leaf and the light green traps, exactly the opposite coloration of the famous Dionaea m. "Ghost". A phenotype more unique than rare that makes these plants truly spectacular, but also extremely difficult to acclimatize, making it a decidedly rare plant, a true jewel for any collection!

Characteristics

Very Bright Environment Spring, Summer, Autumn North America

Capture technique

The perfect trap:

Imagine two modified leaves, joined along a central rib, that open like the pages of a book. Inside these "pages" are very sensitive hairs called trichomes. These hairs act as sensors and, when touched by an insect, trigger a mechanism that causes the trap to close.

How it works:

Attraction: The Dionaea attracts insects thanks to nectar glands that produce a sugary liquid. This nectar has an irresistible scent to insects, which are thus drawn toward the trap.
Contact: Once it lands on the leaf, the insect inevitably touches one or more trichomes. This first contact is not enough to trigger the trap.
Closing: For the trap to close, the insect must touch multiple trichomes or the same trichome multiple times within a short period of time. This mechanism serves to prevent the plant from wasting energy by closing the trap for false alarms, such as a raindrop.
Imprisonment: When the trap closes, the edges of the leaves come together perfectly, forming a sort of cage. The teeth present on the margins of the leaves interlock, preventing the insect from escaping.
Digestion: Inside the trap, the plant secretes digestive enzymes that break down the soft parts of the insect, absorbing its nutrients. This process can last several days.
Reopening: Once digestion is complete, the trap will reopen, ready to capture new prey.

Exposure

This plant requires a very bright environment all year round, seeking shade during the hottest hours of the summer months.

Watering

Keep 2/3 cm of water in the saucer at all times; it is IMPORTANT to always use distilled water.

Temperature

The Dionaea Muscipula (Venus Flytrap) comes from bogs located in North America, so it lives in a temperate climate with hot summers and cold winters. This plant is accustomed to living exclusively outdoors from spring onwards until October; the Dionaea M. will have strong growth before slowing down in winter, but don’t worry, this is normal!!!
