Is the Venus Flytrap ‘Maroon Monster’ suitable for beginner plant enthusiasts?

Yes, the Venus Flytrap ‘Maroon Monster’ can be grown by beginners, but it requires bright sunlight and minimal disturbance when repotting to thrive and develop its stunning coloration.

How do I encourage the ‘Maroon Monster’ to develop its deep red color?

To promote the deep red coloration of the Venus Flytrap ‘Maroon Monster’, ensure it receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily, as this light exposure enhances its vibrant, velvety traps.

What size is the plant when I receive it, and can I repot it later?

The plant ships in a 2-inch pot and is not recommended to be repotted immediately, as root disturbance can delay growth. The plant will naturally grow larger over time with appropriate care.

What are the main features that make the ‘Maroon Monster’ a standout among Venus Flytraps?

The ‘Maroon Monster’ features large, dramatic traps with pronounced teeth and develops a striking burgundy to deep maroon coloration that makes it a captivating addition for collectors and plant lovers.

Is it legal to buy and keep the Venus Flytrap ‘Maroon Monster’?

Yes, all plants sold are nursery propagated and legally cultivated, ensuring you receive a responsibly sourced specimen for your collection.

Meet Your New Plant Baby

All plants sold are nursery propagated and legally cultivated, never wild-collected.

Meet Venus Flytrap ‘Maroon Monster’, a jaw-dropping cultivar of the world's most famous carnivorous plant. Unlike typical Venus Flytraps, this stunning selection develops rich burgundy to deep maroon traps that look almost velvety in bright light. Its dramatic coloration paired with oversized, tooth-lined traps creates a plant that is equal parts beautiful, mysterious, and fierce.

And yes—it really works. Trigger hairs inside each trap snap shut in a fraction of a second when unsuspecting insects wander inside. It's one of nature's most incredible adaptations and a fascinating experience for plant lovers of all ages.

Bold. Beautiful. A little bit terrifying.
