If there is no cultivar name on it when purchased, it is considered a "Typical".
A plant may look like a particular cultivar but unless you have provenance or a gene-scan, it cannot be identified as that cultivar.
Cultivars may only be propagated by cloning so the offspring have the identical DNA as their parent-self.

Question: Is this pot made of plastic or terracotta clay? The clay pot is not recommended for use with most carnivorous plants, including the Venus flytrap.

> The soil and water are very acidic. They will leach minerals from the clay into the soil.

> Terracotta has many small pores that allow water to evaporate through the walls of the pot, causing the soil to dry out quickly.
