This unusual Dionaea has two types of traps. Some, like the funnel trap, are classic with two distinct lobes; others, as in the photo, are cup-shaped, a sort of upside-down cupped trap !
This cultivar is erect in summer.
From September to March (dormant period) , the Dionaea funnel trap takes on a smaller form. The leaves are shorter and remain lying on the ground.

Use only rainwater, demineralized water, or reverse osmosis water. Water that is too hard (high in calcium) will kill the plant within a few weeks. Do not use bottled water, as it generally contains too many salts, which are harmful to the plant. In summer, place the plant in a large saucer filled with water. In winter, keep the potting mix moist.
In summer, the Venus flytrap thrives in temperatures above 30°C. However, do not exceed 45°C. In winter, place the carnivorous plant in a bright room for at least three months (generally from November/December to March/April) where the temperature can vary between 0 and 15°C. It can withstand frost. Below -5°C, be sure to use a large container and protect it with bubble wrap.
Carnivorous plant mix is the basic substrate for many species; you can make it yourself by mixing blonde peat , perlite , and vermiculite (4:1:1:1 ratio), or blonde peat and non-calcareous aquarium sand (2:1:1 ratio). Sphagnum moss is also suitable.
