Overview
Dionaea muscipula 'Double Trouble' is a rare Venus Fly Trap cultivar known for producing traps with an extraordinary twist—two “mouths” fused together on a single leaf. This unusual doubling effect creates a bizarre and captivating appearance, making it one of the most sought-after novelty cultivars for collectors. Each tissue culture cup includes 1 or more plants, giving you the opportunity to grow multiple specimens of this quirky and rare variety.

Origin
Native to the bogs of North and South Carolina in the USA, Venus Fly Traps evolved their famous snapping traps to thrive in poor soils. The 'Double Trouble' cultivar enhances this natural marvel with its unique double-trap mutation, making it an essential addition to any carnivorous plant collection.

Tissue Culture Cup
Your 'Double Trouble' arrives in a sealed tissue culture cup, completely sterile and pest-free. The plants are sustained in a protective gel, ensuring their health and vigor during transport. Because these cups usually contain more than one plant, you may receive multiple thriving clones from a single order.

Care & Growing Conditions

• Light: Provide strong light—full sun outdoors or high-output grow lights indoors.

• Temperature: Prefers 20–30°C, with cooler seasonal conditions for natural dormancy.

• Soil: Use a nutrient-free mix such as peat moss combined with perlite or silica sand. Never use fertilizers.

• Water: Only use distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis water. Keep substrate moist but not waterlogged.

• Humidity: Plants in tissue culture cups are adapted to high humidity. Gradually acclimate them to room conditions by slowly opening the lid over 7–14 days.

Hardening Process
To establish 'Double Trouble' after removing from the cup:

1. Remove plants carefully and rinse roots to remove gel.

2. Pot into carnivorous plant soil.

3. Maintain high humidity with a dome or clear cover, increasing ventilation over 1–2 weeks.

4. Transition to open air and natural light for strong, stable growth.
