Venus Flytrap ‘Royal Red’ Seeds – Heirloom, Non-GMO, Carnivorous Plant Variety

Venus Flytrap ‘Royal Red’ is a well-known carnivorous plant variety recognized for its deep red coloration across the traps and foliage. This Heirloom, Non-GMO seed strain produces compact plants with broad traps that turn a stronger red shade in bright light. Suitable for collectors, hobby growers, and gardeners interested in unique botanical species.
‘Royal Red’ thrives in nutrient-poor, acidic soil and naturally attracts small insects, making it a functional and visually distinctive addition to indoor and outdoor carnivorous plant collections.
Seeds grow best in warm, humid conditions and require consistent moisture and full sunlight for strong pigmentation.

• Plant Name: Venus Flytrap ‘Royal Red’

• Botanical Name: Dionaea muscipula

• Seed Type: Heirloom, Non-GMO

• Growth Habit: Compact carnivorous perennial

• Trap Colour: Deep red (intensifies with sunlight)

• Light Requirement: Full sun to bright light

• Soil Requirement: Peat moss + perlite, low mineral content

• Watering: Distilled or rainwater only

• Hardiness Zones: 6–10 (with winter dormancy)

1. Stratification (Required):

   • Refrigerate seeds in a moist paper towel for 4–6 weeks inside a sealed bag.

   • This imitates natural winter dormancy for better germination.

2. Sowing:

   • Use a 1:1 mix of peat moss and perlite.

   • Do not cover seeds; press them gently onto the surface.

   • Keep soil consistently moist using distilled or rainwater.

3. Temperature:

   • Maintain 22–28°C for optimal germination.

4. Light:

   • Provide strong sunlight or grow lights (12–14 hours/day).

   • More light = deeper red colour.

5. Humidity:

   • Maintain medium-to-high humidity for young seedlings.

6. After Germination:

   • Continue watering with mineral-free water.

   • Avoid fertilisers; Venus Flytraps absorb nutrients through captured insects.

7. Dormancy:

   • During winter, plants require a cool rest period with reduced watering.
