These baby plants, around 2-5 cm in size, are potted in a bio cup with a specialised carnivorous plant potting mix.

Visual Description: The Venus Fly Trap 'Gold Cup' (14#) is a captivating cultivar distinguished by its golden-hued traps that give it a unique and radiant appearance. The traps are typically a bright yellow-green, with a soft gradient transitioning to a deeper golden colour towards the interior. This cultivar's traps are slightly rounded, forming a cup-like shape, which, combined with its colour, gives it a striking look reminiscent of a golden chalice. The teeth along the edges are evenly spaced and pointed, adding a delicate touch to the plant’s overall aesthetic.

Country of Origin: 'Gold Cup' originates from the southeastern United States, where Venus Fly Traps are native.

Ideal Growing Conditions:

• Bright, indirect sunlight
• Humid environment with well-draining, nutrient-poor soil (sphagnum peat moss and perlite mix)
• Keep soil moist with distilled or rainwater (avoid tap water)
• Temperature range of 70-85°F (21-29°C) during the growing season
• Cooler dormancy period in winter (around 40-50°F or 4-10°C)

Additional Information:

• Watering Tips: Use only distilled or rainwater; tap water can harm the plant due to its mineral content.
• Dormancy: A winter dormancy period is essential for the plant's long-term health; the plant should be kept cool and receive less water.
• Feeding: While the Venus Fly Trap can capture its own prey, occasionally feeding it small insects like flies or spiders can promote its impressive growth.

How to Harden BioCup / Tissue Culture Dionaea muscipula: Gradually acclimatise your tissue-cultured to outdoor conditions. Start by placing the plant in a shaded area for a week, then slowly introduce it to more sunlight over the next 2–3 weeks. Maintain high humidity during this period, and be cautious not to expose the plant to direct sunlight or strong winds too quickly.
