thanks
Harris

im guessing about 2 years maybe 3,im not sure if cupped traps take longer or not

thanks man!

was wondering this small guy take hw many more years to mature from its size now..

I'm not sure how long until mature, but i know for sure that it is a smaller variety, and it is a "slower" grower than others.

Cupped trap is a fairly small flytrap. The one in the photo is "mature" in the sense that it will likely flower. The largest I've seen a cupped trap plant get is about 6cm to 7cm across.

mature!?!?!?

thats just 2 to almost 3cm

traps of that plant is around 0.5cm across.

hey guys,that small plant had a small rhizome or a big one?since that small is declared mature,maybe it had a fat and vigrous rhizome and root?

thanks guys!

guys got 1more question,

do Cupped Trap close their traps properly when triggered?by its shape,i think its kinda impossible for it to close tightly.


Thanks

I was wondering the same thing, how can they seal, if they can.

Although the plant and traps are relatively small, Cupped Trap catches plenty of flies and other insects. The traps are fully functional and surprisingly efficient.

wish theres a cheaper cup trap.
that big was sold at a price 25USD at here.too pricy!

but just think if you get one and get some cuttings then you can sell them aswell

well... that true
but need to be patience.the leaf is soooooooooo small!
i dont know whether you can take pulling from such small tiny leaf

Steve or anyone,yea i know that Cup trap's trap can trap insects perfectly but can the trap close tightly?the shape of the trap looks really impossible for it to close tightly.
