Plant information: Venus flytrap Dionaea muscipula 'Spiky'

Dionaea muscipula 'Spiky' is a cultivar with a highly distinctive appearance. Unlike other Venus flytraps, it does not have traps that spring shut but its spectacular leaves more than make up for the fact. This particular cultivar - a variety produced in cultivation by selective breeding - obtains the nutrients it requires from gases in the atmosphere and from water.
