Dionaea muscipula 'Sweet Kiss' (Venus Flytrap)
Dionaea muscipula 'Sweet Kiss' (Venus Flytrap)
Dionaea muscipula ‘Sweet Kiss’ is a distinctive Venus Fly Trap cultivar originally propagated from a specimen developed by Thomas Carow. This cultivar is highly regarded for its deep, vivid red trap coloration, which creates a striking contrast against the broad green petioles. The traps display elongated marginal teeth that extend prominently outward, enhancing the plant’s dramatic appearance. A notable characteristic of ‘Sweet Kiss’ is its rounded, “bellied” trap structure, giving it a morphology comparable to cultivars such as ‘Smash’ and ‘Antares’.
The growth habit of ‘Sweet Kiss’ occurs in two clearly defined stages throughout the year. It initially produces upright growth before transitioning into a more prostrate growth form for the remainder of the growing season.
Product Features
- Deep, vibrant red trap coloration
- Broad green petioles
- Long marginal teeth with outward extension
- Rounded, “bellied” trap morphology
- Distinct biphasic growth pattern
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.
