The Dionaea “Big Mouth” plant is not-so-cleverly named for its – you guessed it – big mouth. The
Big Mouth Venus Flytrap traps are larger than other cultivars and develop a dark pink coloring
on the inside as they age. In addition, this type of venus flytrap is shorter than others in the
species, hugging the ground with tiny leaves.
Like other Venus Flytraps, the Big Mouth will produce flowers in the Spring. However, some
growers suggest removing the flowers to increase growth to other areas of the plant, as flower
growth can use up quite a bit of this carnivorous plant’s energy.
Since it is used to a climate with four seasons, your Big Mouth Venus Flytrap will need a period
of winter dormancy. Temperatures in their native environment frequently drop below freezing
during the winter, and you will want to mimic this pattern. Ensure they are protected from the
elements by keeping them in your garage, garden shed, or unheated greenhouse.
During the rest of the year, Venus Flytraps prefer moderate climates with ample humidity. They
prefer daytime temperatures between 22-24 celsius and no colder than 13 celsius overnight.
They need at least 60 percent humidity which makes them excellent candidates for
greenhouses or terrariums. Keeping them around other plants, a shallow dish with stones and
water, or even a humidifier can help ensure optimal humidity levels if you don’t wish to grow
your Dionaea muscipula in a terrarium.
As carnivorous plants, your Dionaea muscipula will need actual feeding rather than fertilizer. If it
is not in an environment likely to naturally present them with a regular insect diet, you need to
provide that. This can be done by trapping live insects and spiders or purchasing freeze-dried.
Make sure to place your Venus Flytrap where it can get plenty of sunlight. In most of the UK,
you’ll want to put it in a southern-facing window where it can receive plenty of direct light. If you
live in warmer climates or are lucky enough to have a greenhouse, your plant will also do well in
a sunny eastern or western facing window. Trapped in a studio flat whose only window is facing
north? Your plant will get adequate light from a proper growing lamp, such as a T5 fluorescent
bulb.
You will also want to ensure the proper soil for your carnivorous plant. Again, you can find a
