In the superb Dionaea family, Dionaea Louchapates is a cultivar obtained by the French grower Romauld Anfraix.
The teeth of the traps of this Dionaea are sometimes fused, but it is the partial fusion of the two lobes at their ends that is the origin of its very singular name: literally, the dough ladle (Louchapates)! This spoon-shaped trap reaches 3 cm.
From September to March (rest period) , Dionaea muscipula 'Louchapates' takes on a smaller form, like for example Dionaea muscipula 'Paradisia' . The leaves are shorter and remain on the ground.
In spring it produces pretty white flowers.

Packaging and packing
22 years of experience in packaging our plants. 100% recycled or reused.
Use only rainwater, demineralized or osmosis. Water that is too hard will cause the plant to die in a few weeks. Do not use bottled water, it generally contains too much salt, which is harmful to the plant. In summer, place the plant in a large saucer with water. In winter, keep the substrate moist.
In summer, the Venus flytrap is very comfortable with temperatures above 30°C. However, do not exceed 45°C. In winter, place the carnivorous plant for at least three months (generally from November-December to March-April) in a bright room where the temperature can vary from 0 to 15°C. It tolerates frost. Below -5°C, be sure to use a large container and protect it (bubble wrap).
Carnivorous plant mix is the basic substrate for many species, you can make it yourself by mixing blond peat , perlite and vermiculite , (4V/1V/1V) or blond peat , and non-calcareous aquarium sand (2V/1V). Sphagnum moss is also suitable.
