Dionaea muscipula 'Twister' (Venus Flytrap)
Dionaea muscipula 'Twister' (Venus Flytrap)
Dionaea muscipula ‘Twister’ is a distinctive cultivar developed by Diflora, belonging to the Werewolf-like group and originating from a cross between ‘Werewolf’ and ‘Dracula’. One of its most notable characteristics is the absence of trigger hairs—the sensory structures within the traps responsible for initiating closure. As a result, this cultivar exhibits a reduced prey-capture response compared to typical forms that retain functional trigger hairs.
The defining feature of ‘Twister’ lies in its uniquely spiral-shaped traps, which initially coil tightly upon themselves. This trait is most pronounced in newly formed traps at the beginning of the growing season, though it remains evident, to a lesser degree, as the traps mature. The cultivar’s name directly reflects this distinctive spiralling morphology.
The plant exhibits an upright growth habit, producing vibrant green traps that can develop pronounced red to pinkish pigmentation under strong light conditions. These combined features contribute to a highly unusual and visually striking appearance.
Product Features:
- Upright growth habit
- Bright green coloration with red-pink tones under high light
- Spiral-shaped traps
- Absence of trigger hairs
- Werewolf-like morphology
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.
