A short introduction to the fascinating world of carnivorous plants:
Subcategories
Dionaea muscipula , the famous "flytrap" plant, is the iconic carnivorous plant. Native to temperate bogs, it closes its traps when an insect touches its sensitive cilia. At Karnivores.com , we select vigorous plants with vibrant colors and varied trap shapes, suitable for both beginners and collectors.
To successfully cultivate them, provide plenty of light, a poor, acidic substrate, and always water with demineralized water. Outdoors, the Venus flytrap appreciates a cool winter dormancy; indoors, opt for very bright light (south-facing window, greenhouse, or grow lights). Below you will find our selection tips and useful links to our featured varieties and practical guides on the blog.
Key varieties: Dionaea 'Akai Ryu' · Dionaea 'Big Mouth' · Dionaea 'Fused Tooth'
