Dionaea muscipula 'Mars' (Venus Flytrap)
Dionaea muscipula 'Mars' (Venus Flytrap)
Dionaea muscipula ‘Mars’ is a distinctive carnivorous plant cultivar valued for its aggressive morphology and unusual trap formation. This temperate perennial species undergoes a winter dormancy period and displays a semi-erect growth habit. The cultivar produces green foliage accompanied by large, deformed traps exhibiting both green and red pigmentation. One of its most notable characteristics is the presence of small, jagged, saw-like marginal cilia, which contribute to its fierce and irregular appearance. Although ‘Mars’ is capable of attaining a substantial size at maturity, it is recognised for its comparatively slow growth rate, making well-developed specimens particularly desirable among collectors and enthusiasts.
Care: Moderate
Temperature: 18°C–30°C; winter dormancy around 5°C–10°C
Light: Full Sun to Bright Light
Humidity: Moderate (40–60%)
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.
