Dionaea muscipula 'Fiamma' (Venus Flytrap)
Dionaea muscipula 'Fiamma' (Venus Flytrap)
Dionaea muscipula 'Fiamma' takes its name from the Italian word for flame and was selected for its vivid colouration and ornamental appeal. The cultivar emerged within European collections where growers sought plants displaying unusually intense red pigmentation throughout the growing season.
Mature plants develop brightly coloured traps that can range from scarlet to deep crimson depending on light intensity and seasonal conditions. The rosette remains compact while the traps provide a striking contrast against green foliage. Strong illumination often produces the richest flame-like tones for which the cultivar is known.
Collectors appreciate 'Fiamma' for its dependable colour expression and attractive display quality. The cultivar remains stable through vegetative propagation and continues to be sought after by enthusiasts interested in intensely coloured Venus Flytraps.
Origin: Cultivated horticultural selection
Breeder / Discoverer: See cultivar history
Year Introduced: Not formally documented
ICPS Registration: Refer to ICPS cultivar records where applicable
Plant Type: Temperate carnivorous perennial
Genus: Dionaea
Species: muscipula
Growth Habit: Rosette-forming carnivorous plant
Trap Type: Snap trap
Dormancy: Winter dormancy required
Propagation: Division, leaf pullings and tissue culture
What's Included: One healthy Dionaea muscipula 'Fiamma' growing in its nursery container.
A tissue culture plants are grown in clear gel, transparent container that holds multiple young plants (typically 3 or more) grown under laboratory conditions.
Our Gel Cup are non-sterile gel media that we use for start the hardening process after a plant has been in tissue culture.These vessels provide a carefully controlled environment, keeping the plants healthy as the get ready to transition to standard growing conditions.
Quick Hardening Steps:
- Open Lid Gradually: Slightly open the cup to slowly reduce humidity.
- Maintain Humidity: Gradually decrease humidity over 2–4 weeks.
- Indirect Light: Start with gentle, indirect lighting.
- Moist Soil: Keep media damp, never wet.
- Monitor Closely: Slowly increase airflow and light exposure.
Each transparent Transition Cup (5 cm diameter × 7 cm height) contains a juvenile carnivorous plant that has moved beyond sterile tissue culture and into a structured transition medium.
Inside, you’ll find a young carnivorous plant securely planted in a semi-solid blend designed to support root development while easing the shift from gel to soil.
This carefully balanced environment maintains optimal humidity and airflow, helping reduce transplant shock and supporting the plant during this critical transition stage.
Suitable for both novice growers and experienced collectors, Transition Cups provide a reliable, low-stress way to guide delicate carnivorous plants toward successful soil establishment.
Each transparent carnivorous cup (5 cm diameter x 7 cm height) contains a juvenile carnivorous plant freshly transitioned from tissue culture.
Inside, you'll find a young carnivorous plant planted securely in special growing media soil that replicates their natural habitat.
This carefully balanced environment maintains optimal humidity, aiding the delicate plants during their crucial hardening-off stage.
Perfect for both novice growers and experienced collectors, these cups provide a simple and effective way to cultivate and enjoy captivating insect-eating plants.
