Description

The Venus Flytrap ‘B52’ (Dionaea muscipula ‘B52’) is renowned for producing some of the largest and most vibrant traps in the world of carnivorous plants. This American-bred cultivar develops massive, bright red traps often reaching 2 inches when mature with unusually long teeth, making it a true standout for collectors and plant enthusiasts. Vigorous in growth and easy to care for, the B52 forms lush clumps of traps ready to snap shut at lightning speed when triggered by unsuspecting prey.

The B52 thrives in consistently moist conditions with distilled or rainwater and demands a winter dormancy period to remain healthy. Whether grown outdoors, in greenhouses, or as a centerpiece in a terrarium, the B52 Venus Flytrap impresses with its sheer size, vibrant color, and insect-catching prowess.
