Dionaea muscipula 'Kleine Gek' (Venus Flytrap)
Dionaea muscipula 'Kleine Gek' (Venus Flytrap)
Dionaea muscipula ‘Kleine Gek’ is a horticultural cultivar derived from a controlled cross between ‘AR Werewolf’ and ‘Umgekrempelt’. This hybrid exhibits a combination of morphological traits from both parent lines, resulting in a highly atypical trap structure within the species.
The traps are markedly enlarged, inflated, and remain permanently open due to the absence of functional trigger hairs. Marginal cilia are prominently developed and extend laterally, giving a wing-like appearance. The lobes are irregular and undulating, reflecting the deformities characteristic of ‘AR Werewolf’, while also displaying the flared, cushion-like structure associated with ‘Umgekrempelt’. The marginal teeth are elongated, well-spaced, and exhibit curvature directed away from the lobe margin, contributing to the cultivar’s distinctive morphology.
Pigmentation is pronounced, with a combination of light green external surfaces and intense red internal coloration. The epidermis appears glossy, likely due to reduced or absent trichome development. Vegetative growth is prostrate, characterised by short, broad petioles that position the traps close to the substrate.
Product Features:
- Hybrid Origin: ‘AR Werewolf’ × ‘Umgekrempelt’
- Trap Morphology: Enlarged, inflated, permanently open; lacking trigger hairs; pronounced lateral cilia
- Marginal Teeth: Elongated, widely spaced, with outward curvature
- Colouration: Light green exterior with intense red pigmentation; glossy epidermis
- Growth Habit: Prostrate, with short, broad petioles
Care: 🌿 Care Level: Moderate
Temperature: 🌡️ Growth: 18°C - 30°C ❄️ Dormancy: 5°C - 10°C
Light: ☀️ Full sun (6+ hours daily), or bright artificial light
Humidity: 💧 Humidity: Moderate to High (50%–80%)
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.
