Venus Flytrap (Dionaea ‘Green Dragon’)

Bring one of the world’s most fascinating carnivorous plants into your terrarium or paludarium with the Venus Flytrap (Dionaea ‘Green Dragon’). This striking cultivar develops compact green traps that snap shut when triggered by suitable prey, making it a captivating addition to carnivorous plant displays.

🌿 Terrarium & Paludarium Use

Dionaea ‘Green Dragon’ is best suited to bright, humid setups with excellent airflow. It can be used in carnivorous plant terrariums and paludariums, provided it receives sufficient light and is planted in an appropriate nutrient-poor substrate.

💧 Watering & Humidity

Keep the substrate consistently moist but never completely dry. Use distilled, reverse-osmosis (RO), or rainwater rather than ordinary tap water, as dissolved minerals can build up and damage the plant.

High humidity is beneficial, but avoid completely stagnant, sealed conditions. Good ventilation helps reduce the risk of mould and fungal problems.

💡 Lighting

Provide very bright light with several hours of direct sunlight where possible. Strong lighting is essential for healthy growth and well-developed traps. If grown indoors, a suitable full-spectrum grow light can be used.

🌡️ Temperature

Ideal growing temperatures are generally around 18–30°C. Venus Flytraps are temperate carnivorous plants and naturally experience a cooler winter dormancy. Mature plants may benefit from a seasonal dormancy period rather than being kept constantly warm year-round.

🌱 Substrate

Plant in a nutrient-poor, acidic carnivorous plant substrate, such as sphagnum moss or an appropriate peat-and-perlite carnivorous plant mix.

Do not use regular potting soil, compost or fertiliser, as the added nutrients can damage the roots.

🪰 Feeding

The traps naturally catch small insects and other tiny prey. Avoid feeding meat, processed food or large insects. If feeding manually, use very small insects and allow the plant to digest them naturally.

Avoid repeatedly triggering traps without prey, as unnecessary trap closure uses energy.

🌿 Dormancy

A winter dormancy period is an important part of the natural growth cycle for Venus Flytraps. During dormancy, growth slows and some foliage may die back. Keep the plant moist while providing cooler conditions rather than treating the reduced growth as a sign that the plant is dying.

📏 Growth

‘Dionaea’ ‘Green Dragon’ remains relatively compact, making it suitable for smaller carnivorous plant displays. With strong lighting and proper care, it can produce multiple traps and gradually form a larger clump.
