Overview
Dionaea muscipula 'Green Dog' is a unique cultivar of the famous Venus Fly Trap, known for its vivid green coloration and lively, upright traps that resemble eager little jaws waiting for their next meal. Its bright green tones make it stand out among traditional red or mixed cultivars, offering a strikingly fresh look for collectors and enthusiasts.

Origin
Native to the wetlands of North and South Carolina in the USA, Venus Fly Traps thrive in nutrient-poor, acidic soils where they evolved their fascinating trap mechanism to capture insects for sustenance. 'Green Dog' maintains these natural adaptations while adding a vibrant, uniform green aesthetic.

Tissue Culture Cup
Each plant comes in a sealed tissue culture cup, ensuring it is disease-free, pest-free, and genetically strong. Plants arrive in sterile gel to maintain health during shipping and storage. They are 100% lab-grown and ideal for collectors looking for reliable, high-quality specimens.

Care & Growing Conditions

• Light: Bright light is essential. Outdoors, provide full sun; indoors, use strong artificial grow lights.

• Temperature: Thrives between 20–30°C. Can tolerate cooler conditions during dormancy.

• Soil: Plant into a carnivorous mix of peat moss and perlite or silica sand (no fertilizers).

• Water: Use only distilled, rain, or reverse osmosis water. Keep soil moist but not waterlogged.

• Humidity: The tissue culture cup provides initial humidity. Gradually acclimate the plant to ambient conditions by slowly opening the lid over 7–14 days.

Hardening Process
When transitioning 'Green Dog' from its cup:

1. Remove carefully from the gel and rinse roots with distilled water.

2. Plant in a prepared carnivorous plant substrate.

3. Cover with a humidity dome or clear bag, slowly increasing airflow over time.

4. After acclimation, allow it to grow under natural conditions for strong development.

Why Choose 'Green Dog'?
