This carnivorous plant needs a lot of direct sunlight, at least 4-6 hours a day, to grow properly. Place the Dionaea muscipula 'Red Dentist' in a sunny spot, such as a south or west window. The ideal temperature for the plant is between 20-30°C in summer, with a rest period of 5-10°C in winter. Demineralized water, such as rain or distilled water, is essential for the Venus flytrap 'Red Dentist' as tap water may contain harmful minerals. The soil should be well-drained, preferably a mixture of peat moss and perlite. Venus flytrap 'Red Dentist' (Dionaea muscipula 'Red Dentist') catches its own food by attracting insects with its traps. If you keep Dionaea muscipula 'Red Dentist' indoors, you can offer an occasional insect. Remove dead leaves and fallen traps to preserve the plant's energy. Repot the plant every 1-2 years to keep the soil fresh. In winter, the Venus flytrap 'Red Dentist' needs a rest period during which the plant receives less water.
