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 this time, growth slows, older leaves may blacken and die back, and the plant will appear smaller. This is normal and necessary for long-term health.
