Dionaea muscipula 'Extra Large' – Winter Dormant - Venus Flytrap

Dionaea muscipula ‘Extra Large’ is a selected Venus Flytrap clone grown for its potential to produce notably large traps under favourable growing conditions.

This clone typically produces medium to large traps, with size increasing as the plant matures and when grown in strong light and warm conditions. Trap size can vary seasonally, and younger plants may not yet display their full size potential.

Trap Size & Appearance

The defining feature of ‘Extra Large’ is overall trap size rather than unusual tooth form or trap shape. Traps retain a classic Venus Flytrap shape with normal marginal teeth, and colour is generally green to lightly blushed.

Winter Dormancy

These plants are currently in their natural winter dormancy. During this period they may have fewer active traps, shorter leaves, and some older traps may blacken and die back. This is a normal and essential part of the Venus Flytrap's annual growth cycle. Each plant has a healthy rhizome and will resume vigorous growth as temperatures warm in spring.

Growth Notes

As with all Venus Flytraps, trap size improves with maturity, consistent care, and adequate growing space. Seasonal variation is expected, with the largest traps usually produced during active summer growth.

Please note: Trap size is influenced by plant age, growing conditions, and season. Images are representative of the clone type and not the exact plant supplied.
