Dionaea muscipula ‘Red Piranha’ is astriking cultivar of the classic Venus Flytrap, named for its distinctive all-red colouration. It isn't the fastest growing Dionaea, but still well worth adding to any collection!

Plant Care
Light:
Full sun please! The brighter, the better — a sunny windowsill or outdoor spot in summer will do wonders.

Watering:
Only distilled water or rainwater. Keep the soil moist, never dry, and never soggy. Sensitive to tap water — it’s a diva like that.

Temperature:
Likes 20–30°C during active growth, but cool dormancy in winter (5–10°C) is normal and needed. Growth slows, but don’t panic!

Potting:
Carnivorous plants need nutrient-poor soil. We recommend planting in plain sphagnum moss. Avoid standard houseplant compost and fertiliser.

Hot Tips:
Dormancy is key: in winter, growth slows and traps may die back — this is normal! Don’t feed it meat, and let it catch its own snacks. High humidity and strong light will keep it snappy and vibrant.

Pet Friendly: Technically yes — but those traps are delicate, so keep curious paws away.
