Scientific Name: Dionaea muscipula 'FTS Towering Giant'
Also known as: Towering Giant Venus Flytrap
Origin: A standout cultivar developed by FlytrapStore (FTS), bred for its extraordinary vertical growth and large trap size.
Dionaea muscipula 'FTS Towering Giant' is an impressive and fast-growing Venus Flytrap cultivar named for its tall, upright petioles and oversized traps. This cultivar produces towering, open-faced traps held high above the soil—ideal for catching flying insects and making a visual statement. It retains the classic green-and-red coloration in bright light and develops into a robust, upright-growing plant with a commanding presence in any carnivorous plant collection.
Light: Full sun or strong artificial lighting (5000–6500K). Needs at least 4–6 hours of direct sun daily to produce full coloration and trap size.
Water: Use only distilled, rainwater, or reverse osmosis (RO) water.
Watering:
Growing season (spring–autumn): Keep soil moist. Best kept sitting in a shallow tray of water.
Dormant season (winter): Water less often. Keep just damp, and remove from standing water.
Humidity: 40–70% preferred. Tolerates standard indoor humidity when water and light needs are met.
Temperature: Grows best in 20–30°C. Requires cool winter dormancy at 5–10°C for 2–3 months.
Feeding: Naturally traps insects. If grown indoors, feed monthly with live or dried insects. Avoid overfeeding or triggering traps for fun.
Dormancy: Yes—requires a winter dormancy. Traps may blacken and die back, with new growth emerging in spring.
Plant: One young Dionaea muscipula 'FTS Towering Giant'. At this stage, traps may be small and green, but will develop height and size under proper care. Mature trap size can exceed 4–5 cm and be held high above the soil line.
Grow Cup: 5 cm clear plastic cup with ventilated lid to retain humidity. Topped with moss or sterile media for protection.
Medium: Peat-based, low-nutrient carnivorous plant mix—moisture-retentive, breathable, and suitable for Dionaea.
Instructions: Step-by-step planting and care guide included.
Let traps close naturally—manually triggering them wastes energy.
Only use mineral-free water—tap water can harm roots and reduce plant health.
Give it full sun—this cultivar needs strong light to reach its full towering form.
