Venus Flytrap 'Red Dragon' 3.5” Potted Plant

This Venus flytrap variation is known as "Akai Ryu" or "Red dragon" because it features red leaves and traps. Young plants are bright red throughout. As the plant matures, it turns maroon with a green margin along the edge of the traps. This variety hates root disturbance during the growing season; it's best to repot this plant in early season or when it's dormant.
