Dionaea muscipula GJ Hellcat II Small (Shipped Bare-Root)

Green Jaws' Hellcat II represents a refined selection of one of the hobby's most sought-after prostrate cultivars, celebrated for its dramatically curved, bean-shaped traps with distinctively irregular inward-facing teeth that alternate in length—a morphological signature that sets it apart from standard Venus flytraps. This rare clone combines the elongated trap geometry reminiscent of Alien with the Hellcat line's characteristic dental architecture, making it essential for serious collectors pursuing exceptional trap morphology.

Care Requirements

Light — 6+ hours of direct sun daily. A south-facing window or outdoor placement in full sun is ideal.

Water — Pure water only, under 50ppm dissolved solids. Use distilled, reverse osmosis, or collected rainwater. Most tap water will not work. Keep roots sitting in a shallow tray of water.

Soil — Pure peat moss or long-fiber sphagnum, with optional perlite or sand added for drainage. Garden soil will not work.

Dormancy — Required. Allow 3 to 4 months of cold dormancy each winter for long-term health.

Hardiness — Zones 7–10 outdoors, or overwinter indoors in a cool location.

Shipping & What to Expect

Our bare root Dionaea muscipula (Venus flytraps) are shipped according to their natural growing cycle. During the active growing season (spring through early fall), you'll receive a plant with live traps, often in vibrant color. In the winter months, Venus flytraps naturally enter dormancy and will be shipped without leaves or with small winter rosettes — this is completely normal and essential for the plant's long-term health.

Please note that the plant and photo shown are representative of the variety but not the exact plant you will receive. Each plant is unique, and we guarantee a healthy, established rhizome ready to grow.
