Venus Flytrap Green Dragon
IntermediateDionaea muscipula
A rare cultivar with green trap interiors, giving a refreshing look unlike typical red traps.
About
Green Dragon (Dionaea muscipula 'Green Dragon') is a distinctive Venus flytrap cultivar that retains vivid green coloration throughout the plant, including the trap interior, even under intense sunlight that would cause most cultivars to develop red pigmentation. The consistent emerald-green appearance gives the plant a refreshing, unusual look among Venus flytraps and makes it a sought-after cultivar for collectors who appreciate its rarity. Care requirements are identical to the wild species: nutrient-poor media, tray watering with pure or rainwater, full sun, no fertilizer, and a mandatory cool winter dormancy at 5–10°C. Adult plants typically reach 5–10 cm in diameter.
