Venus Flytrap ?Dente? ? (Dionaea muscipula) Carnivorous Plant Venus Flytrap ?Dente? ? A striking carnivorous plant with fierce, triangular Shark-Like ?teeth? that snap shut on unsuspecting insects. Perfect for collectors and beginners alike. Thrives in bright light, pure water(RO WATER, DISTILLED WATER OR RAINWATER, NO TAP WATER AS THAT WILL KILL IT), and nutrient-poor soil. Bring home this living insect trap today! Unlike the long, thin cilia (marginal ?teeth?) of the typical Venus flytrap, Dente has short, triangular, shark-like ?teeth,? giving the traps a jagged, aggressive, almost cartoon like appearance. Mature traps average about 1?1.5 inches (2.5?4 cm) across, capable of capturing flies, gnats, and other small insects. The inner trap can flush deep red under bright sunlight, while the outer leaves remain green. Plants ship in 2" square pots.
