Dionaea muscipula 'Kinky Wave' (Venus Flytrap)
Dionaea muscipula 'Kinky Wave' (Venus Flytrap)
Dionaea muscipula 'Kinky Wave' originated from horticultural selection for unusual marginal growth. Growers identified plants displaying consistently distorted and undulating trap margins, leading to the preservation and distribution of the clone among collectors.
The defining feature is the irregular, wavy cilia that often appear twisted, curled or kinked. Traps may display varying degrees of deformation while retaining normal carnivorous function. Colouration ranges from green to red depending on light intensity, season and plant maturity.
Among enthusiasts of mutant Venus Flytrap forms, 'Kinky Wave' is highly regarded for its distinctive morphology. The unusual cilia structure remains stable when propagated vegetatively, making genuine clones particularly desirable for specialised collections.
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 'Kinky Wave' 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.
