Product Details

🔥 Maroon Monster Venus Flytrap – The Majestic Lady in Red ❤️

This one has a soft spot in my heart. If you're looking for a colourful showstopper and a true collector’s plant, Maroon Monster is the one I always recommend — and for good reason.

This 4-year-old near-flowering-size plant is a once-off import from the world-renowned FlytrapStore in the USA. From all the red Venus flytrap cultivars out there, this one stands out above the rest. It grows slowly, sure — but when those massive, deep red traps appear in summer, it's 100% worth the wait. Every. Single. Time.

Only one available and fully acclimatised to South African conditions. It’s ready to go straight into your collection or future breeding program — this is a top-quality plant with excellent roots and strong growth potential.

💎 What Makes Maroon Monster So Special?

  • Imported from FlytrapStore (USA) – straight from my personal collection
  • 4+ year-old plant – near-flowering-size and fully established
  • Bold upright growth in summer with striking traps (2–3cm when mature)
  • Best red cultivar – rich colour, strong roots and long-term stability
  • Perfect for breeding projects or as a centerpiece in your collection

📦 How It Ships

  • 🌱 Bareroot – Without soil; clean, trimmed, and wrapped for safe shipping Prepped for quick transplant into your own planter and soil mix
  • 🪴 Pre-planted – I'll pot up your Venus flytrap in our deluxe PROmix™ soil for Venus flytraps and a 10cm nursery pot. Worth over R90 separately, your plant will arrive potted and ready-to-grow for just 50 bucks extra!
  • 📸 What you see is what you get – You'll receive the exact plant pictured

ℹ️ Quick FAQ: Why does it grow so slowly?

Maroon Monster is known for being a strong but slow grower. It dies back quite significantly in winter and takes a bit longer to wake up in spring, but it comes back with serious drama. Trust me — it’s worth the wait!

🌿 Winter Dormancy – What to Expect

Venus flytraps are summer-growing temperate plants. In winter, it enters a winter rest phase and may lose most of its traps and appear much smaller. Don’t worry — this is totally normal. It regrows strongly from its underground bulb each spring, and comes back even better if cared for properly

🌟 Once-Off Collector’s Item

Only one plant available — and no restocks planned. This is a once-in-a-season opportunity to own an elite red flytrap with serious visual impact.

Take it from me: you’ll fall in love with this one too. 💘
