Dionaea ‘Chinese Dumpling’ – A Weirdly Wonderful Venus Flytrap

Dionaea ‘Chinese Dumpling’ – A Weirdly Wonderful Venus Flytrap

Dionaea ‘Chinese Dumpling’ is a distinctive Venus flytrap cultivar with short, rounded traps and an unusual, slightly distorted form that makes it stand out from more typical flytraps. As plants mature, the traps may develop twisted edges and a delightfully odd look that gives this cultivar plenty of collector appeal.

This plant is nursery-propagated and grown—not wild-collected. Photos are representative of the plant you will receive; individual variation is natural unless otherwise noted.

⚠️ Dormancy Notice:
Venus flytraps naturally go dormant from October to March. During dormancy, the plant’s growth slows and older leaves may die back. This is a normal and essential part of the life cycle.
