FlytrapCare Carnivorous Plant Forums

Guys I would like to know what kind of Venus flytrap I should get

Any one! I like "King Henry", "Big mouth", "Jaws", "DCXL" just to name a few. They make big traps.

Hi there, welcome to the forum!
If you haven't grown Flytraps before, I'd suggest you start with a "Typical". Once you've mastered keeping a Flytrap alive and thriving for a year or two then I'd move into the more exotic and expensive types.

Matt, who runs this forum, has an online store here: FlyTrapCare Store

If you want to try your hand at growing different types of Carnivorous Plants, I'd recommend the Sundews. Drosera capensis is a very easy to grow plant for beginners.

Browse around in the forums. You'll find all sorts of good information here.

Good growing,
Mike

Shadowtski pretty much nailed it. They are all identical in terms of care since they are the same species, but since many kill their first flytrap while learning the proper care techniques I'd go with something that doesn't cost too much.

Tnx I already own one flytrap a king Henry I'm talking about what would be a good second flytrap

I personally like the red ones. In addition to my clump of Typicals, I have an Akai Ryu (Red Dragon), and a FTS Maroon Monster.

It's mostly a matter of personal preference. Some growers go for larger traps, some like mutated or ugly traps. I like the color. Care of the different variants is pretty much the same. Many varieties are slow growing or not very tolerant of cultivation errors. When you find a variety you like, Google it to see what different growers say about it.

Good growing,
Mike

Red Dragon has been fussy for me (probably doesn't like 100+F 100% full sun) but Maroon Monster has been great.

I like the mutated ones, or sawtooth ones. Try Korean melody shark or uk sawtooth. Both are fast growing. One of my favorites was triton.
