Dionaea m. Dente (potted)

Dionaea ‘Dente’ – Toothy and Tough Venus Flytrap

Dionaea ‘Dente’ is a classic and widely admired Venus flytrap variety known for its distinctive short, triangular "teeth" on each trap—giving it a fierce, dragon-like appearance. This cultivar is fast-growing, hardy, and ideal for both beginners and collectors alike.

The traps often develop vibrant red interiors under strong light and respond quickly to prey. ‘Dente’ thrives in bright, sunny conditions and brings dramatic texture and movement to any carnivorous plant collection.
