+ Free Shipping
The Dente fly trap has unique saw-like or tooth-like edges on the trap margins. It has hinged leaves with three or four sensitive hairs in the center of each lobe. When an insect touches the hairs, the hinge mechanism is triggered, and the leaves close rapidly to trap the insect. The inside of the traps starts out green, and the maroon coloration develops/intensifies with bright light and time/maturity.
- Average mature height: Under 6 inches
- Light: Full to part sun
- Soil: Grows well in peat, peat/perlite, or sphagnum moss. Place a tray of water underneath to keep the plant wet.
- Zones: 6-10

This Baby Venus Fly Trap plant came to Phoenix in perfect condition! Packaged meticulously and just the right amount of moisture as well. It’s already working very hard to capture those annoying tiny little flies! Can’t wait to purchase a couple more.
Thank you for taking such great care!

Dear WellSpring, my venus-flytraps are settling into their new home and seem to be doing well, with several new traps on the way from the center of each plant. Thanks for your great service! Steven

This plant was well packaged. It looks like it just came out of dormancy. So I can't wait to see how it develops as it grows. I really enjoy shopping with wellspring. They have such great quality plants and excellent customer service. I will definitely be as always a returning customer.
