  • Dionaea
    Dionaea

    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.

    How to choose your Dionaea?

    • Light: very sunny location.
    • Water: only rainwater, reverse osmosis or demineralized water.
    • Substrate: Special mix for carnivorous plants.
    • Winter: a period of rest in cool conditions is particularly recommended for robust plants.
    • Varieties: red ('Akai Ryu'), large traps ('Big Mouth'), toothed shapes ('Fused Tooth').

    Heliamphora are pitcher-shaped carnivorous plants of the same family as Sarracenia . The genus is however rarer because of a much more restricted distribution, since they are found only on the high plateaus of Guyana and Venezuela (tepuys), as well as in the far north of Brazil, most often far from human activity.
