The Dionaea muscipula ‘Great White Shark’ is a highly prized cultivar for the appearance of its traps, which recall the teeth of a great white shark. Elegant yet aggressive in appearance, it is a perfect plant both for collectors and for those looking for a unique and striking variety.
Characteristics
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.

This plant requires a very bright environment all year round, seeking shade during the hottest hours of the summer months.
Constant water in the saucer 2/3 cm, IMPORTANT to always use Distilled Water
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 grow vigorously and then slow down in winter, but don’t worry, it is normal!!!
Gently remove any dead leaves or remnants of digested prey to prevent mold and keep the plant healthy.
