Dionaea muscipula 'Big Mouth’ (Venus Flytrap)
Dionaea muscipula 'Big Mouth’ (Venus Flytrap)
Dionaea muscipula 'Big Mouth (Venus Flytrap)' is a cultivated Venus Flytrap clone maintained through vegetative propagation to preserve its distinctive characteristics. This cultivar originated within horticultural collections where growers selected plants displaying stable and unusual traits. Like all Venus Flytraps, it ultimately descends from populations native to the coastal bogs of North and South Carolina in the United States. The clone has circulated among specialist carnivorous plant growers and remains valued for the features that distinguish it from typical forms.
Big Mouth (Venus Flytrap) is characterised by its distinctive trap morphology and colouration. Mature plants produce paired snap traps equipped with sensitive trigger hairs capable of rapid prey capture. Trap colour may range from green through orange, red, burgundy or deep maroon depending on light intensity, season and plant maturity. Growth occurs as a low perennial rosette that expands through division, with the defining characteristics becoming more pronounced on mature specimens grown in strong sunlight.
Among collectors, 'Big Mouth (Venus Flytrap)' is appreciated for the stability and uniqueness of its traits. To preserve the defining characteristics, genuine examples are propagated vegetatively through division, leaf pullings or tissue culture rather than seed. As with all Venus Flytrap cultivars, individual plants may show minor seasonal variation, but established clones reliably express the features that made the selection noteworthy. Its continued cultivation contributes to the remarkable diversity now represented within modern Dionaea collections.
Origin: Horticultural selection
Breeder / Discoverer: Unknown
Year Introduced: Unknown
ICPS Registration: Unknown
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 'Big Mouth (Venus Flytrap)' 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.
